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 cleans dust from windowsills during heatwaves?« Back to Previous Page

After the heatwave this summer, I noticed a lot of dust gathering on the windowsills in my living room. The AC unit seems to be working overtime too, but it feels like there's still some debris circulating with the air. Should I be responsible for cleaning these areas or is that something typically handled by the landlord?

Cleaning dust from windowsills during heatwaves is definitely something that can be tackled by the resident but, depending on your rental agreement and local laws, there might be some obligations for landlords as well. In dubai and uae, it's generally expected that tenants maintain their living spaces to a certain standard of cleanliness, which usually includes dusting windowsills.

However, the specifics can vary. Many residential leases in dubai or uae have clauses stating who is responsible for maintaining different parts of the property. If your lease doesn't specify this, it’s wise to check with the landlord or management company first. In many cases, landlords are expected to ensure that essential systems like air conditioning units are maintained and cleaned by professionals.

If you do decide to clean the windowsills, make sure to use a soft cloth or brush to avoid damaging any finishings. Wiping in one direction can help prevent streaks. Also, consider dusting all areas near your air vents as well; this helps reduce allergens and improves indoor air quality.

Regarding the AC unit's performance, if you notice it’s working harder than usual, you might want to have a professional inspection done. Overheating or excessive dirt buildup can lead to higher energy consumption and potentially damage the system over time. In dubai, where summers are extremely hot, this is especially important as it can affect not just your comfort but also your utility bills.

If you're unsure about how to proceed or if you suspect there's a serious issue with air quality due to dust or other particles, calling 800-MOLDS (or emailing hello@saniservice.com) for a professional inspection is recommended. They can provide expert advice and services tailored to the local environment.

Remember, maintaining good indoor environmental quality is crucial, especially during extreme weather conditions like heatwaves. It's not just about aesthetics but also about your health and comfort.
