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 damp smells?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell lingering in the laundry room of my apartment. The walls seem to be holding on to moisture even though I’ve been diligent about opening windows whenever possible. My kids have also been complaining of coughing and sneezing more often lately. Am I responsible for addressing this issue or should it be handled by the landlord?

It sounds like you're dealing with a tricky situation. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial for both comfort and health. The damp smell you're noticing in your laundry room could be due to various reasons including moisture issues or mold growth.

UAE regulations emphasize proper building maintenance and ensuring living spaces are free from harmful substances like molds. While it's understandable that you've been diligent with opening windows, persistent dampness might indicate a more serious issue that requires attention.

Firstly, you should address the immediate health concerns of your children by keeping their environment as clean and dry as possible. Ensure they avoid areas where mold may be present and consider using air purifiers or humidifiers to help reduce allergens in the air.

However, it would be wise to engage a professional for an inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide thorough assessments of your apartment's indoor environment. Their expertise will help identify if there are underlying issues with moisture management that you might not have noticed. They can also offer solutions ranging from simple fixes to more comprehensive renovations.

Remember, the landlord is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity and safety of the building, which includes preventing mold growth. However, as a tenant, you're expected to cooperate by ensuring good ventilation practices and reporting any issues promptly.

If you decide to go ahead with an inspection, be sure to document your concerns and discuss them openly with Saniservice during their visit. This will help in understanding whether the issue is something that needs urgent attention or can wait for regular maintenance.

In case of further issues or if you need assistance with contacting professionals, feel free to reach out to 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They are well-equipped to handle such cases and ensure the health and safety of residents in Dubai.

Take care of your family's wellbeing by acting proactively on this matter.
