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 maintenance?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of water pooling up behind the kitchen wall where the ductwork comes through. My landlord hasn’t done any maintenance on the place since we moved in two years ago, and I’m not sure if it’s my responsibility to have the ducts cleaned or if it’s part of regular maintenance he should be handling. Should I bring this up with him?

Duct maintenance is a crucial aspect of maintaining the indoor environmental quality in Dubai/UAE. Typically speaking, the responsibility for duct cleaning and maintenance largely falls on the landlord. However, given that you have recently experienced an issue with water pooling behind your kitchen wall where the ductwork runs through, it's important to address this concern promptly.

In the UAE, according to the Building Code of Practice (BCOP) and the Dubai Municipality Regulations, landlords are generally responsible for ensuring that their properties are in a state of good repair. This includes regular maintenance of systems like HVAC which encompasses the ductwork. Regular cleaning and inspection of the ducts can help prevent issues such as mold growth, dust accumulation, and air quality concerns.

However, it is advisable to bring this matter up with your landlord immediately. If your landlord does not respond or address the issue promptly, you might want to consider engaging a professional service for an inspection and maintenance. A qualified company like Saniservice can provide a thorough assessment of your ductwork and recommend necessary cleaning and repairs.

If water has pooled behind your ducts causing potential damage, it's important to act quickly to prevent further issues such as mold growth or structural damage. Mold is particularly prevalent in humid conditions following rain events, and its presence can pose serious health risks.

Should you decide to engage a professional service, remember that the call to action is 800-MOLDS or 800-66537. You can also email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance. It's crucial not to delay as mold can spread rapidly and become harder to remove over time.

In summary, while your landlord should be handling regular maintenance, if the issue persists or worsens, it would be prudent to take action now. Don't hesitate to contact a professional service provider to ensure both your property is in good condition and you're protected from potential health hazards.

Remember, keeping up with regular duct maintenance can help prevent such issues from arising in the first place. Regular cleaning not only maintains air quality but also ensures that your HVAC system operates efficiently.
