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 pays for duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of debris stuck in the vents of our living room. My landlord mentioned he handles all maintenance issues, but I'm not sure if that includes duct cleaning. We've lived here for two years and just noticed this smell and amount of dirt buildup. Does the responsibility for having the ducts professionally cleaned fall on the tenant or the landlord?

Hey there! Great question about who pays for duct cleaning. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, it’s a common practice that ducts should be cleaned every few years to maintain indoor air quality and ensure efficient operation of your HVAC system.

In most cases, the responsibility for duct cleaning falls on the landlord. According to the real estate laws in the UAE, landlords are typically responsible for maintaining the property's systems in good working condition. This includes ensuring that all parts of the HVAC system, including ducts, are properly maintained and cleaned to prevent dust, allergens, and other contaminants from circulating throughout your home.

However, there might be some exceptions or specific conditions mentioned in your lease agreement. It’s wise to review your rental contract to see what is explicitly stated regarding maintenance responsibilities. If you can’t find any mention of duct cleaning, you should communicate with your landlord about the situation. You could request a professional inspection to confirm that the ducts are indeed dirty and may need cleaning.

If after reviewing your contract or discussing it with your landlord, you still have concerns, consider reaching out to a professional environmental inspection company for a detailed assessment. This can provide a clear picture of the current state of your ducts and help you make an informed decision. For instance, companies like Saniservice offer such services and you can contact them on 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, clean air is crucial for health and comfort in Dubai’s climate. Professional cleaning not only improves the quality of your indoor environment but also prevents potential issues down the line, ensuring a healthier living space.

So, take proactive steps now to ensure you and your family are breathing fresh, clean air. Don’t hesitate to contact professionals if you need help or further guidance!

Best regards,
[Your Name]
