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 window area dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corner of our living room, which is usually near the windows. My landlord hasn’t mentioned anything about it, but I’m not sure if this is something that’s expected to be fixed by them or if it's my responsibility as a tenant. Could someone advise on what’s typical for rental maintenance in Dubai?

The responsibility for addressing window area dampness can sometimes be a bit murky. However, generally speaking, landlords are responsible for maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of rental properties. This includes ensuring that water intrusion issues are addressed to prevent damage to both the property and its contents.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are no specific laws mandating who is responsible for such maintenance issues. But the Rental Property Law (Law Number 28 of 2017) provides some guidance. Under this law, landlords must ensure that a rental unit is in a safe, fit state and free from defects at the time of tenancy agreement. If there's an issue like persistent dampness which seems to be due to a structural or maintenance problem, it would typically fall under landlord responsibility.

However, if the dampness is caused by something within your control, such as improper window sealing or not maintaining ventilation properly, that might shift some of the responsibility onto you as a tenant. It's always wise to check with your lease agreement for specific terms regarding property maintenance and repairs.

If you're unsure about the cause of the dampness or if it seems like a serious issue, it would be prudent to have a professional inspection done. This can help determine whether there is any underlying structural damage that needs immediate attention or if it's something minor that can be addressed by simple home fixes.

In Dubai, many tenants find it beneficial to call upon professionals who specialize in mold and water damage inspections. Such companies not only assess the problem but also provide recommendations for remediation. A quick call to 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com can get you connected with experts who can help evaluate the situation.

Remember, timely action is key in preventing further damage and ensuring a healthy living environment. If you decide not to seek professional assistance, make sure to document any issues thoroughly and communicate clearly with your landlord about what steps are being taken or need to be taken to address them.
