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 closet mildew?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the bedroom closet, which has now led to some mildew growth. The landlord hasn't mentioned anything about cleaning or maintaining these areas despite multiple requests over the past few months. Am I responsible for addressing this myself since it’s my space?

Absolutely! It's understandable to feel concerned and perhaps even a bit frustrated given the current situation. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, indoor environmental quality is crucial for both health and comfort. Persistent dampness leading to mildew growth can be not only unsightly but also potentially harmful, as it could release mold spores into the air, causing respiratory issues.

In terms of responsibility, while you are responsible for maintaining your personal space, it's important to understand that landlords in Dubai have a legal obligation to ensure their properties are in good condition and free from significant health hazards. However, this doesn't necessarily mean the landlord is required to address every minor issue immediately if they've been notified previously.

Given that you've raised the matter multiple times without resolution, it would be wise to consider professional assistance for a thorough inspection. The UAE has specific regulations under the Building Control and Energy Efficiency Law (Federal Law No. 12 of 2016) which mandate building owners to maintain their properties in good condition. This doesn't necessarily imply that minor issues like dampness in a closet are always the landlord's responsibility, but it underscores the importance of addressing these issues for both safety and comfort.

I recommend reaching out to a professional environmental inspection and remediation company here in Dubai. Saniservice, for example, could provide you with a detailed report on what’s happening and how best to address it. They can offer solutions from simple cleaning methods to more extensive remediation processes if needed. Contacting them at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com would be beneficial.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you could take:

1. Use a dehumidifier in the closet to reduce moisture.
2. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible.
3. Regularly clean and dry out the area with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner.
4. If mildew persists despite these measures, professional treatment might be necessary.

Remember, your health and comfort are paramount, so don’t hesitate to seek expert advice.
