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.

Should I clean ducts or notify landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorms we had last month, I noticed a persistent dust accumulation in the vents of our living room. It’s a rental property, and I’m not sure if it’s my responsibility to have the ducts cleaned or if this should be taken care of by the landlord. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue. Should I bring this up with the management?

The issue of dust accumulation in your vents could be a concern and something worth addressing. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, duct cleaning is recommended every 2 to 3 years based on environmental conditions. The recent sandstorms you experienced might have contributed to this buildup.

Firstly, it's essential to understand the regulations. In the UAE, tenants are not automatically responsible for duct cleaning unless specified in their lease agreement or if they're the ones causing excessive dirt due to negligence. However, given that you've only just noticed the issue after two years of living there, it’s likely your landlord has been neglecting this aspect.

A prudent step would be to notify your landlord about the dust accumulation and request a professional inspection. If the issue persists or if you're uncomfortable with waiting for them to act, consider having the ducts professionally cleaned by a reputable company like Saniservice. They offer services in Dubai tailored to local environmental conditions and can ensure that your home's air quality remains top-notch.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you decide to proceed with professional cleaning. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health, especially considering the sandstorms we encounter here in Dubai. Clean ducts not only improve air quality but also enhance energy efficiency of your HVAC system.

If after inspection by a professional it’s found that the landlord has been negligent and you’re still unsatisfied with their response, you might want to escalate this matter through local tenant rights organizations or legal advice available in the UAE. It's important to act now as dust accumulation can lead to respiratory issues over time.
