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 mold in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in my bedroom closet, even though the windows were closed. It’s making me suspicious that there might be some mold issues. Given that I’m renting, should I be responsible for addressing this problem or will it fall under maintenance?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, indoor environmental quality is a significant concern due to climatic conditions. Mold issues can arise from various factors like condensation, flooding, and poor ventilation. In your case, it sounds like moisture might be causing that damp smell in your closet.

Firstly, it's crucial to understand who typically takes responsibility for such issues. In most rental agreements within the UAE, landlords are generally responsible for ensuring the property is in a safe condition before you move in, which includes addressing any existing mold or water damage. However, after moving in, tenants usually have the obligation to report and maintain the property's good condition.

Given that you've noticed this issue recently, it would be wise to address it promptly. Here are some steps to take:

1. Document the Issue: Take photos of the affected area for reference.
2. Report to Your Landlord: Inform your landlord about the smell and any visible signs of mold. Provide them with a reasonable time frame for action, usually within 24-48 hours from when you bring it up.
3. Professional Inspection: If the situation seems severe or if the landlord doesn’t take immediate action, consider having an independent professional inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can conduct thorough inspections and provide remediation services if necessary.

According to UAE real estate regulations, landlords are expected to ensure that properties meet certain standards of habitability. While you might have some responsibility in maintaining the property’s cleanliness, mold growth is often related to structural or maintenance issues which should be handled by the landlord.

If the situation escalates, contacting authorities such as the Dubai Municipality or a local tenant advocacy group could also provide additional support.

Remember, early intervention can prevent costly and health-hazardous situations. So, don't hesitate to act quickly if you suspect mold growth in your closet. For professional assistance, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Taking these steps ensures that the issue is addressed properly and helps maintain a healthy living environment for you.
