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 duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell lingering in the living room near the windows. The AC in my apartment seems to struggle more than usual too, especially during hot days. My landlord mentioned that it’s his responsibility to clean the ducts, but I’m not sure if this is accurate or what exactly should be done. Could someone explain who typically handles duct cleaning in a rental property and what signs indicate it needs to be done?

Duct cleaning is a crucial aspect of maintaining good indoor air quality and the efficiency of your HVAC system. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the responsibility for duct cleaning can be a bit nuanced depending on whether you own or rent your property.

For rented properties, it's not uncommon for landlords to handle regular maintenance tasks including duct cleaning. However, there are some cases where tenants might need to take action. If you're experiencing issues like a damp smell in the living room near windows after rain, and the AC seems less effective during hot weather, this could indicate that your ducts require cleaning.

Signs that your ductwork needs attention include:
• Persistent unpleasant odors
• Increased energy bills due to poor air flow
• Noticeable dust accumulation or mold growth
• Reduced HVAC efficiency

In Dubai, the Environmental Health and Safety Regulations stipulate regular maintenance of HVAC systems. While it is often a landlord's responsibility, tenants should not hesitate to request that these services be performed if they are unsatisfied with the condition of their ductwork.

If you're unsure about who handles duct cleaning or need professional advice, consider calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They can provide expert guidance on when and how to clean your ducts based on the specific conditions of your property.

Remember, regular maintenance is key to ensuring that your home remains healthy and comfortable. Don't wait until issues arise; take proactive steps now to maintain good indoor air quality in your apartment or house.
