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 duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my living room, especially when the air conditioning is on. It’s really bothering me because it’s coming from that section of ducts near the ceiling. Do you think as a tenant, I’m responsible for cleaning those or should I talk to the landlord about it?

Duct cleaning can be a complex issue and it's great that you're considering your responsibilities as a tenant. In Dubai/UAE, the responsibility for duct cleaning typically depends on who is responsible for maintaining the building systems. Generally speaking, landlords are often expected to maintain the air conditioning units and related systems, including ductwork, in a state of good repair. However, it's crucial to check your lease agreement for specific clauses or consult with your landlord to clarify what exactly you're both responsible for.

The strange odor you're experiencing might be due to dust, mold, or other allergens that have accumulated over time. Given the recent dust storm, this is a plausible explanation. In such cases, it's recommended to schedule a professional inspection and cleaning of your ductwork. The Dubai Municipality has specific guidelines regarding indoor air quality and HVAC system maintenance which you might want to refer to.

If the odor persists or if there are visible signs like mold growth, calling in an expert is crucial. You can reach out to a company such as Saniservice for professional inspection and cleaning services. Their number is 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email hello@saniservice.com. They are experts in this field and will be able to assess the situation thoroughly.

Remember, regular maintenance of your HVAC system not only improves indoor air quality but also enhances the overall efficiency of your AC unit. A clean ductwork helps in better airflow and reduces energy consumption, making it a wise investment in the long run.

In any case, addressing this issue promptly can prevent further problems such as allergies or respiratory issues for you and your family. It’s always best to be proactive when it comes to your health and comfort, especially with something as critical as indoor air quality.
