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.

Am I responsible for fixing floor dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a slight dampness under the sink in my rented apartment on the third floor. The landlord hasn't responded to any of my messages about checking it out properly. Given that we’ve lived here for two years and this is the first time I’m noticing such an issue, am I responsible for addressing and fixing the problem, or should I be expecting the landlord to handle it?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, maintaining indoor environmental quality is crucial for both health and comfort. While dampness under your sink could be a minor issue, it's important to address it promptly as moisture can lead to mold growth which poses significant health risks.

Generally speaking, landlords are responsible for ensuring that rental properties meet certain standards of habitability, including addressing structural issues like dampness. However, the specifics of tenant and landlord responsibilities in the UAE can vary depending on local laws and agreements.

Given that you have lived in your apartment for two years without any reported issues until now, it's reasonable to assume that the problem might be recent or previously undetected. Yet, as a tenant, you do have an obligation to report maintenance issues promptly.

If you suspect dampness under the sink is due to structural damage or leaks, I recommend having the matter inspected by a professional. This will not only help resolve any existing concerns but also ensure that such issues are addressed in a timely and effective manner. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide expert inspections for mold and moisture-related problems.

To take action, you could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to arrange an inspection. The sooner this is done, the better you can prevent potential health risks associated with dampness and mold growth.

If your landlord does not respond or address the issue, it may be necessary to escalate the matter through local tenant protection laws or seek assistance from relevant authorities. Remember, maintaining a safe living environment is paramount, and addressing such issues promptly protects both you and other residents in the building.

In summary, while landlords are generally responsible for property maintenance, as a tenant, reporting dampness under your sink is prudent. Professional inspection can provide clarity on the extent of the issue and ensure it’s resolved properly.
