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 cleans ducts in a rental?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a significant amount of dirt collecting in the corners of our living room. It's quite concerning because it’s such a rental and we’re not sure who is responsible for cleaning the ducts. Who should handle this maintenance task?

In the UAE, particularly in cities like Dubai, duct cleaning can be a bit of a grey area, especialy when it comes to rentals. The responsibility for duct cleaning often depends on the terms of your rental agreement and local regulations.

The Emirati government doesn't have specific laws mandating regular duct cleaning; however, it's common practice that tenants are responsible for keeping their living areas clean and in good condition. This includes ensuring that dust and dirt do not accumulate excessively within the property. On the other hand, landlords or management companies should maintain shared spaces like hallways and public areas.

When it comes to your personal living space, you might want to check if your rental agreement explicitly states who is responsible for duct cleaning. If it's not mentioned, it’s best practice to have a dialogue with your landlord about this matter before taking action.

Should you decide to clean the ducts yourself, be aware that it can be quite complex and requires some expertise. Improper duct cleaning could lead to structural damage or even health risks if done incorrectly. It’s recommended to consult professionals who specialize in indoor environmental quality and building sciences.

If you're not sure about your rights or responsibilities as a tenant, or if the dust accumulation is causing significant discomfort or concerns, consider calling a professional company for an inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive duct cleaning services tailored for Dubai's climate and building types. Our team can provide a thorough assessment and ensure that the job is done correctly.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality in your rental property is important for everyone’s health. If you're not comfortable with DIY duct cleaning or if you notice persistent issues despite regular cleaning efforts, it might be time to call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional opinion.

In conclusion, while there's no one-size-fits-all answer, prioritizing proper indoor air quality is key. Take action now and ensure you're not just keeping the corners of your living room clean but also the air you breathe.
