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 ceiling mildew?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a mildew stain forming on the ceiling near my bedroom. The previous tenants didn't seem to address it much, but I’m not sure if this is something I should handle as a tenant or if the landlord is responsible for regular cleaning and maintenance in such areas. What are my rights regarding cleaning responsibilities in a rental property?

Who Is Responsible For Ceiling Mildew?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it can sometimes be tricky to determine who is responsible for addressing issues like ceiling mildew. It largely depends on the terms of your lease agreement and local regulations.

As a tenant, you have certain rights and responsibilities when it comes to maintaining the condition of the rental property. According to Article 369 of the Civil Code in the UAE, landlords are generally responsible for ensuring that the building is in a habitable state, which includes regular maintenance and repairs. However, this doesn't mean tenants should not take any initiative.

In your case, since you noticed mildew forming on the ceiling near your bedroom after rain last month, it would be prudent to inform both your landlord and your property management company (if applicable). If the previous tenants didn’t address it much, it’s reasonable to bring this up with them as well, especially if they’ve been living there for a while.

However, in practical terms, you should also check if the ceiling has any visible damage or issues that could be causing water accumulation. If you find such signs, consider addressing those first. For example, make sure the area around your air vents and near the ceiling is not clogged with debris or dust, as this can lead to moisture build-up.

If the situation does not improve or if you feel it's a serious issue that requires professional attention, it might be best to call for an inspection by a certified environmental service provider. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide expert guidance and necessary treatments for mold issues. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, while landlords have a responsibility to ensure the property is in good condition, tenants also play an important role in maintaining it during their tenancy. By keeping your space clean and reporting any issues promptly, you can help prevent further problems like mold growth.

Take care of these matters early on to avoid more serious issues down the line.
