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 after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that swept through Dubai last week, I’ve noticed a layer of gritty residue on the windowsills in the living room. It’s concerning because my lease agreement is vague about who is responsible for cleaning after such events. Should I be expected to clean this up myself, or is it part of regular maintenance?

Who cleans after dust storms?

Dust storms can indeed leave a layer of gritty residue on your windowsills and other surfaces. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, these events are not uncommon due to the region's desert climate. The responsibility for cleaning up after such an event often hinges on what is specified in your lease agreement.

For most residential or commercial properties, it would be expected that tenants or property owners clean up any visible dust and debris left by a dust storm as part of their regular maintenance responsibilities. However, if the terms are unclear, it’s always best to clarify with your landlord or property management company before proceeding. They should have guidelines in place for such situations.

It's important to note that in accordance with UAE real estate regulations, tenants generally maintain the premises and ensure cleanliness. But, if you find that a dust storm has caused significant damage or left behind hazardous materials like asbestos fibers (which are not typically associated with dust storms but worth mentioning), it would be prudent to call for a professional inspection.

If you’re unsure about what constitutes regular maintenance in your lease agreement or if the amount of residue is overwhelming, consider reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can provide expert advice and perhaps offer cleaning services that align with local standards and regulations.

In the meantime, here are a few practical tips for dealing with dust storm aftermath:
1. Wear protective gear like gloves and masks when cleaning to avoid inhaling any grit.
2. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down surfaces gently, as dry sweeping can kick up more dust.
3. Focus on areas most affected by the storm but don’t neglect other parts of your home too.

Remember, keeping open communication with your landlord is key in resolving such issues and ensuring you’re fulfilling your obligations under the lease agreement.
