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 cleaning moldy ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of water damage in the ducts near the kitchen, and now there's this weird moldy smell that won't go away. The AC filters get really dirty fast too. Is it my responsibility to clean these ducts or should I be asking the landlord to do it?

The responsibility for duct cleaning can be a bit tricky and depends on the situation. In general, the landlord is typically responsible to maintain the building's systems, which includes the ducts. However, if you've noticed water damage or mold growth due to recent weather conditions such as heavy rain, it might indicate an urgent need for inspection and remediation.

Firstly, make sure that any visible damages are reported immediately to your landlord. Under UAE laws, landlords are required to ensure the premises are in a habitable condition, which would include managing water leaks and addressing mold issues. If the ducts were damaged due to natural disasters or unexpected events, you might have grounds for requesting immediate action from your landlord.

However, if the issue seems more related to regular maintenance and not as an aftermath of recent weather, then it could be part of the routine cleaning that is usually performed by the building management. It's always a good idea to check your lease agreement or contact the property manager to clarify their responsibilities in this area.

Given the conditions you've described—water damage, moldy smell, and dirty filters—it would be wise to request a professional inspection from a certified company like ours. We can provide detailed assessments of the duct condition, identify any potential health hazards, and recommend necessary cleaning or remediation steps.

Cleaning ducts that have experienced water damage is especially critical because moisture can lead to mold growth which poses serious health risks such as respiratory issues. Professional cleaning ensures that all contaminants are removed effectively, reducing the risk of further health complications for you and your family.

So, if you're concerned about these issues, do not hesitate to reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection. Our team is here to help ensure that your indoor environment remains safe and healthy.

Remember, timely action can prevent minor issues from escalating into major problems, so don't delay in contacting a professional service!
