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 dampness near windows due to landlord's responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corner of the living room by the windows. The AC in my apartment seems to cycle on and off more frequently than usual, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s related. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed these changes, but I’m not sure who is responsible for addressing these issues—me or the landlord. Who should be handling the cleaning and maintenance of these areas?

The dampness near your windows and the increased cycling of your AC might indeed be due to landlord's responsibility. In Dubai/UAE, there are strict building regulations that mandate landlords to ensure their properties are properly maintained to prevent issues like dampness which can lead to mold growth.

First off, it’s important to consider if recent rain could have caused this issue. Rainfall in the UAE is sporadic and when it does happen, it might penetrate poorly sealed windows or walls causing moisture build-up. However, if you've noticed this only recently after 2 years of living there, it's more likely that there may be an underlying maintenance issue.

The AC cycling on and off frequently could indicate a problem with the system, which might need professional servicing to determine whether it’s due to dampness or another issue. High humidity levels can indeed affect how your air conditioning operates, so it’s wise to have this checked out by a certified technician.

According to the UAE's Building Code and Regulations, landlords are responsible for maintaining the property in a fit condition and ensuring its structural integrity. If you suspect that the dampness is due to poor construction or maintenance issues such as leaking windows or inadequate waterproofing, you should bring it to your landlord’s attention immediately.

However, if you have already tried informing your landlord about these concerns but haven't received any action, it might be time to take further steps. You can start by sending a formal written notice outlining the issue and requesting immediate remediation. If no improvement is seen within a reasonable period, you may need to seek professional help for an inspection.

Remember, persistent dampness can lead to structural issues as well as health concerns like mold growth. In such cases, it's crucial to address them promptly. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and remediation services. They offer professional assessments and solutions tailored to the UAE climate.

Lastly, keep a record of all communications with your landlord and any actions taken. This documentation can be useful if you need to escalate the matter further.
