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 air quality in my apartment?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running non-stop these days, but the air still feels stuffy and dirty, especially in the bedroom where we sleep. It’s been this way for a few weeks now, and it’s really starting to affect our breathing at night. Given that I’m renting, am I responsible for maintaining the air quality in my room or should the landlord be handling it?

The responsibility for maintaining indoor air quality can be a shared one between tenants and landlords. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's crucial to ensure that living spaces are comfortable and healthy. While you as a tenant have responsibilities related to keeping your space clean and well-maintained, landlords also have obligations under certain circumstances.

Firstly, it is important for both parties to be aware of the local regulations. In Dubai, the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) ensures that properties meet certain standards but these do not specifically mention indoor air quality in a general sense. However, if there are issues like mold growth or poor ventilation, which can directly affect the air quality, you should inform your landlord.

In your case, with the AC running non-stop and still feeling stuffy and dirty air, this could be due to several factors such as clogged filters, inadequate airflow, or even a larger issue like a building-wide HVAC problem. It would be prudent to conduct an inspection by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance.

For immediate steps you can take, ensure that your AC filter is clean and replaced regularly as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Also, consider checking if the air vents are blocked by any furniture or objects that might be hindering airflow. Opening windows during cooler days to let in fresh air could also help.

Remember, landlords are generally responsible for ensuring that their properties comply with building codes and regulations which include aspects of ventilation and air quality. If your complaints about air quality have persisted despite your efforts, it would be wise to document the issues and communicate them clearly to your landlord. You can also consider referring to the tenant rights section in your lease agreement or local consumer protection laws for guidance.

In summary, while you should take steps to maintain a clean living environment, landlords are responsible for ensuring that essential systems like ACs function properly. Should you continue to experience issues, it is recommended to seek professional help and communicate with your landlord about the situation.
