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.

Is landlord responsible for AC-related dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the living room, especially after we had the AC on. The smell is not too strong but it’s there, and my kids have been coughing more frequently since then. Do you think the landlord is responsible for addressing this moisture issue?

Hey there! I can totally understand your concern about the dampness and coughing issues. In the UAE, especially Dubai, humidity levels can be quite high during certain times of the year, which might contribute to such issues. However, it's important to assess whether this is a result of AC malfunction or if there are other underlying causes.

The landlord in the UAE has responsibilities under the Real Estate Agency Regulations and Building Code, but typically, they're not liable for natural occurrences like rain that might affect your indoor environment. Yet, they do have a duty to maintain the property in good condition. If you believe this dampness is due to an issue with the AC or other systems within the landlord's control, it would be wise to report it.

I recommend having a professional inspection done by a company like Saniservice who can assess the situation and determine if the AC unit needs maintenance or if there are any leaks or moisture issues that need addressing. They will use tools such as thermal imaging cameras which can help detect where moisture might be accumulating, even in areas you can't see.

Remember to keep an eye on your indoor humidity levels with a hygrometer; normal indoor relative humidity should be between 30-60%. If the AC is not properly dehumidifying the air, it could lead to mold growth and other health issues, especially for children.

If after all this you still believe the landlord isn't taking necessary steps, it might be time to involve a property management service or even contact the relevant authorities. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) which is a hotline specific to mold issues in Dubai for guidance.

Just make sure to document everything - take pictures of the dampness, note down the dates and times you noticed it, and keep any receipts or communications with your landlord. This will help strengthen your case if you need to escalate matters further.

Hope this helps! Remember, a proactive approach is key here.
