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 landlord fix basement mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement where my daughter’s room is. It feels like there might be some mold growing down there, but I’m not sure if it's something I should address or if it’s part of the landlord’s maintenance responsibilities since we’ve only lived here for two years and haven’t had issues before. Have you encountered anything similar in your rental, and what did you do about it?

Absolutely, i've seen such cases before. It's understandable to feel unsure about what steps to take but it's crucial to address any dampness issues promptly as they can lead to mold growth which is unhealthy for occupants.

in the uae, specifically dubai, the law requires landlords to maintain and repair properties in a way that ensures they are safe and habitable. this includes addressing moisture issues like those you've encountered. however, it's also important to check your lease agreement as some clauses may outline specific responsibilities of both landlord and tenant.

if you suspect mold growth in the basement, i would recommend having a professional inspection done. local regulations such as the uae federal law no 21 of 2018 on buildings and construction specify that landlords must ensure that properties are free from any health hazards including moisture-related issues like mold.

i suggest contacting a qualified environmental inspection company in dubai for an assessment. they can provide you with accurate information about the extent of the issue and recommend remediation steps if necessary. saniservice, who i work with, is one such company that offers professional indoor air quality assessments. their contact details are 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance.

in the meantime, avoid going into the basement as much as possible to prevent spreading of any potential mold spores. if you must go in, wear protective gear like gloves and a mask. keeping the area well ventilated might also help reduce moisture levels.

if your landlord refuses to address the issue or fails to do so within a reasonable time frame after being notified, you may have grounds for legal action based on breach of contract or violation of tenant rights under local laws. it's always good to seek advice from a lawyer familiar with uae property law in such cases.

remember, taking proactive steps now can save both your health and potential costly repairs down the line.
