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 pays to clean damp office space?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp spot forming under the desk in our living room office area. The AC in my apartment seems to be struggling with the humidity too, making it harder to work comfortably. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed that the musty smell is starting to spread. Who's responsible for cleaning the office space—me or the landlord?

Cleaning damp office spaces can be quite the task especially when humidity is at play. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, it's important to understand your responsibilities and those of your landlord regarding such issues.

According to the Real Estate Agency Law 2016 (Law No. 7 of 2016) in the UAE, landlords are responsible for maintaining the building structure and ensuring it is safe and habitable for tenants. This includes addressing structural issues like water damage and musty odors that may arise from dampness.

However, if the damp spot you noticed under your desk or any humidity-related issues are due to personal factors such as leaving windows open during heavy rains or not properly maintaining air conditioning units, these might fall under your personal responsibility. It's always a good idea to review and be familiar with your lease agreement which will detail who is responsible for what.

In cases where the issue seems more serious and beyond routine maintenance like cleaning AC units, it would be wise to call in a professional inspector. They can assess the situation accurately and recommend necessary steps. In Dubai, you might want to reach out to companies like Saniservice who offer professional mold inspection and remediation services. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS or by email at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, it's crucial to address such issues promptly as prolonged exposure to damp environments can lead to health problems for you and your family. If the smell of mustiness is spreading, it could indicate a more extensive problem that might need immediate attention.

In conclusion, while landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the building, it’s important to assess whether the issue is within your purview or if professional help should be sought. Keeping records of any issues you notice and documenting them with photos can also be useful when dealing with such matters.

So, if you're unsure about who's in charge, just pick up that phone and give 800-MOLDS a call or reach out to Saniservice for expert advice.
