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 kitchen mold with landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a bit of mold growing behind the cabinets in the kitchen. The landlord hasn't cleaned since we moved in two years ago, but I’m not sure if it’s my responsibility to tackle this myself or if I should bring it up with them. What do you think I should do?

Absolutely, addressing the kitchen mold is definitely something you should bring to your landlord's attention. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, maintaining a safe and healthy living environment is paramount. The government has stringent regulations regarding indoor air quality and the presence of molds. According to the UAE’s Ministry of Energy and Public Works, landlords are responsible for ensuring the premises meet all necessary safety standards.

Given that you've noticed mold growing behind your cabinets, it's prudent to schedule a professional inspection with a company like Saniservice who specializes in environmental inspections and remediation. They can provide an accurate assessment of the situation and recommend appropriate actions to tackle the issue effectively. Don't wait until it worsens; act promptly.

To start, you should notify your landlord about the mold problem. Clearly state that you've noticed signs of mold growth and suggest they take immediate action. If your lease agreement includes clauses related to maintenance or cleanliness, use them as leverage. In case there’s no clear stipulation, remind them that the UAE Building Code requires landlords to maintain properties in a safe condition for tenants.

You might want to keep a record of any communication with your landlord and perhaps even take photos of the mold growth. This documentation can be useful should you need to escalate the matter or refer back to it later. If no action is taken within a reasonable time frame, consider seeking legal advice on your rights as a tenant under UAE laws.

Remember, handling molds improperly could cause further damage or health issues. So, professional assistance is key. Call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for immediate guidance and to schedule an inspection. Don't ignore this; it's in your best interest to ensure a safe living environment.

Saniservice can help you with everything from mold remediation to ensuring long-term prevention measures are put in place. After all, having a clean and healthy home is not just a luxury but a necessity.
