Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Who is responsible for fixing closet mildew?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet, and when I opened it up, there were some mildew spots on the back wall. Given that this is a rental property, I’m unsure if the landlord or myself should be responsible for addressing this issue. Should I bring this to their attention immediately, or is it considered normal maintenance?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, indoor environmental quality is a significant concern, especially after rainfall. The scenario you've described regarding mildew growth in your bedroom closet should be addressed promptly to ensure your health and comfort as well as maintain the integrity of your rental property.

Mildew spots on the back wall are not normal or expected in a well-maintained environment. Given that these conditions arose post-rain, it's likely due to inadequate drainage or ventilation in the area. In Dubai, landlords are typically responsible for ensuring the structural and environmental safety of their properties; however, this responsibility can sometimes be shared based on local laws and rental agreements.

In your case, you should bring this matter to the attention of your landlord immediately. It’s important to document any observations, including photos, as evidence. You might want to send an email or make a phone call to notify them about the issue, specifying that it developed after rainfall and requesting prompt action for remediation. This is especially critical given the potential health risks associated with mold exposure.

If you feel the situation has escalated beyond what your landlord can handle on their own, consider seeking professional advice from environmental inspection services such as Saniservice. They can provide a detailed assessment of the issue and recommend necessary actions to prevent further damage or growth of mildew. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, in Dubai, landlords must ensure that rental properties meet specific health and safety standards as outlined by the Department of Real Estate (DRE). If your landlord is unresponsive or unwilling to take action, you may need to escalate the issue through local authorities for further assistance.

Taking these steps can help mitigate any potential risks associated with mold growth and ensure a healthy living environment.
