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.

Should I address bathroom mold as tenant?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a bunch of mold growing behind the shower curtain in the bathroom. It's been there for at least a couple of weeks now, but it seems to be getting worse since the AC is on more often lately. The kids have been coughing and sneezing a lot, and I suspect it might be related to this mold issue. Could it be my responsibility as a tenant to address this, or should I talk to the landlord about it?

Absolutely, you should address the mold issue promptly. In the UAE, especially Dubai, we often experience high humidity levels and warm temperatures which can create ideal conditions for mold growth. According to the Building Control Regulations of Dubai Municipality, landlords are responsible for maintaining their properties in a safe condition free from health hazards like mold.

In your case, it sounds like the mold behind the shower curtain has been around for a couple of weeks but is now worsening due to increased AC use. This suggests that moisture levels might be higher than normal or there could be an underlying water issue (like a leak) contributing to the problem. The coughing and sneezing from your kids are strong indicators that they may be suffering from mold-related allergies.

While you can start by cleaning the area with a mixture of water and bleach, it's crucial to have the situation professionally inspected. Saniservice, based in Dubai, offers such services and can help identify if there’s more extensive damage or hidden issues. They can also provide guidance on proper remediation techniques to ensure your family’s health isn't compromised.

As a tenant, you're not obligated to fix these issues yourself, but reporting them is part of maintaining good communication with your landlord. If the mold issue persists despite initial attempts at cleaning and if it's affecting your health or that of other residents, it might be wise to escalate the matter directly to the landlord or property management.

Remember, addressing mold promptly can prevent further damage and protect your family’s well-being. Don’t wait for things to get worse! You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance tailored specifically to Dubai's climate conditions.

Taking these steps will not only help resolve the current issue but also demonstrate a proactive approach to property maintenance, which is beneficial both for you and your landlord.
