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 kitchen area of our rented flat. It’s quite annoying because it really affects how we use that room. My landlord mentioned something about duct cleaning during maintenance, but it wasn't clear who was supposed to take care of it. Does this usually fall under the landlord's responsibility or is it something I should discuss with them?

Duct cleaning is indeed a pertinent issue that can affect the air quality and overall comfort of your living space. In the context of the UAE, particularly Dubai, the responsibility for duct cleaning can sometimes be a bit blurred. Generally speaking, it's advisable to have this service performed by a professional at least once every few years, especially if you experience persistent odors or notice any signs of mold growth.

In terms of who typically covers the cost, this can depend on local laws and agreements between tenants and landlords. In many cases, like in the UAE, the landlord is usually responsible for maintaining the overall condition of the property, including air ducts. However, if your issue is a result of recent rain or moisture, it might be worth discussing with your landlord about having this service performed to ensure there's no underlying damage that needs addressing.

If you're unsure about who should take care of the duct cleaning, it’s recommended to seek clarification from your landlord. They are obliged under local laws like the Federal Law No. 6 of 2018 (UAE Real Estate Agencies and Services) to maintain the property in a habitable condition. This typically includes regular maintenance checks that may involve duct cleaning.

For serious cases or if you're still uncomfortable, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. This can help identify any issues beyond just the ducts such as water damage or mold growth which might need immediate attention. A reputable company like Saniservice, who provide mold remediation and environmental inspections, can offer expert advice and necessary services.

Remember, keeping your air ducts clean is crucial for good indoor air quality, especially in areas prone to humidity changes. So don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance. If you ever need help, feel free to give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email us at hello@saniservice.com.
