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 indoor air quality issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a weird damp smell lingering in my bedroom closet. The AC in my one-bedroom apartment has been running non-stop lately too, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Given that we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed these issues, am I responsible for addressing the indoor air quality or should I bring this up with the landlord?

Indoor air quality issues can be a tricky matter. In Dubai and the UAE, it's essential to understand that both tenant and landlord have responsibilities concerning indoor environments. Given your situation of a damp smell persisting even after running the AC for an extended time, it's prudent to take some steps before jumping into conclusions.

Firstly, regulations in the UAE, including those in Dubai, do require landlords to maintain properties in good condition. This includes ensuring that any issues related to moisture and mold are addressed. However, these rules can vary depending on the type of rental agreement you have and local laws like the Real Estate Agency Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 15 of 2014).

Given your situation, it’s highly recommended that you document the issue by taking photos or videos to provide visual evidence for any potential disputes. It's also a good idea to keep records of the AC operation times and other relevant details.

Before contacting the landlord, you might want to get a professional indoor air quality inspection done. This will help in understanding if there is indeed an underlying problem that needs addressing. A professional company like Saniservice (you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can perform tests and give a detailed report.

If the issue turns out to be a serious case of mold growth, it’s crucial to address it promptly as prolonged exposure to certain molds can lead to health issues. Even if you suspect the issue is minor, resolving it early on could prevent further problems.

In many cases, landlords are responsible for addressing major structural or environmental issues. However, maintaining and cleaning personal spaces like your bedroom closet falls under tenant responsibilities. Ensuring good ventilation in areas prone to moisture accumulation can help. Simple steps include using dehumidifiers, ensuring proper drainage of any water sources near the property, and checking for leaks.

If after all this you still feel the landlord is not addressing the issue adequately, it might be time to escalate the matter through local housing authorities or seek legal advice. Remember, communication is key – try discussing your concerns with the landlord first in a calm and professional manner before taking any further steps.

In summary, while you have responsibilities for maintaining personal spaces, landlords must ensure that their properties are in good condition. Documenting issues, getting professional help when needed, and maintaining open lines of communication can go a long way in resolving these matters smoothly.
