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 I address water seepage with landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed water seeping into the balcony from above, and now there's a persistent damp smell in my living room. The landlord hasn't been around much lately, and I’m not sure if I should address this myself or if it’s part of regular maintenance they are responsible for. Should I bring this to their attention, or is this something that falls under general cleaning duties?

Absolutely, you should address the water seepage issue with your landlord. In Dubai and the UAE, landlords are typically responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of a property and ensuring that no water leaks from one unit to another. This is part of their obligations under the Civil Transactions Law No. 21 of 1985.

Firstly, it's important to document what you're experiencing. Take photos or videos of the seepage and the damp smell in your living room. Note down the date and time of observation as well as any potential sources from which water might be coming.

Next, inform your landlord about this issue formally via email or a registered letter. Be clear and concise, stating that you've noticed water seeping into your balcony from above and have observed a persistent damp smell in your living room. Mention the dates and times of observation and attach any evidence like photos or videos. This formal communication will help to establish a record and ensure accountability.

If the landlord does not respond within a reasonable timeframe (usually 14-30 days depending on local laws), you might need to take additional steps. You can consider consulting with a building maintenance expert in Dubai, such as Saniservice, who can conduct an inspection for free and provide professional advice on next actions.

Additionally, if the issue persists or worsens, it's advisable to contact relevant authorities like the Housing Department or seek legal counsel to ensure your rights are protected. Remember that maintaining good communication with your landlord is key to resolving such issues amicably.

Lastly, if you decide to take any remedial measures yourself (like using a dehumidifier), make sure they do not violate local regulations and consult Saniservice for guidance.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need assistance with this process.
