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.

Is laundry room under landlord's care?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the laundry room closet. It’s really concerning because it’s right next to my children's play area. My landlord mentioned he takes care of common areas but is the laundry room considered one? How should I address this with him without sounding like I’m nitpicking?

Is laundry room under landlord's care? This is indeed an important concern and one that requires careful consideration. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, there are regulations surrounding the maintenance of properties which can help guide your understanding.

Landlords generally have responsibility over common areas within a building or complex as per the Law No. 21 of 2015 Concerning Real Estate Agencies & Services in the Emirate of Dubai (Dubai Property Law). Common areas typically include hallways, stairwells, foyers, and recreational spaces - but laundry rooms can fall into this category depending on how they are designated.

If your laundry room is a shared space for all tenants or part of the common facilities managed by your building's management, then yes, it would likely be under landlord’s care. However, if it’s more akin to a tenant’s individual storage area, you may need to take care of its maintenance yourself.

Given that there has been rain recently and you've noticed a damp smell emanating from the laundry room closet, this is definitely concerning as it could indicate a moisture problem or even mold growth. Mold can pose serious health risks especially for young children, so addressing this issue quickly is important.

I recommend reaching out to your landlord or property management with a clear request for them to inspect and address any potential issues in the laundry area. Emphasize the importance of maintaining a safe environment, particularly close to your children’s play area. Being proactive about these concerns can help ensure that necessary actions are taken without coming across as nitpicky.

If you're unsure or if the situation seems serious, consider having a professional environmental inspection done. This will give you peace of mind and accurate information regarding any potential mold or moisture issues. Here's where you could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance - they can help assess the situation thoroughly.

Remember, keeping your home environment safe and healthy is key to ensuring a comfortable living space for you and your family. Don’t hesitate to take action if something seems off; it’s always better to be cautious when it comes to indoor air quality and health.

Hope this helps!
