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 mold in my apartment?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be leaking water, and I’ve started to notice some black spots forming in the corner of my bedroom. I’ve only been living here for about six months, and I’m really worried about mold affecting my health. The humidity in Dubai is brutal, and I’ve also seen some discoloration on the walls near the window. Am I responsible for dealing with this issue, or should I ask my landlord to handle it?

In the context of mold issues within your apartment in Dubai, it's important to first understand your responsibilities as a tenant and the obligations of your landlord. Mold growth, particularly in your situation where you have observed leaks from the AC and visible black spots, can pose health risks and should be addressed promptly.

Under UAE law, particularly the tenancy law in Dubai, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the property in a habitable condition. This includes addressing issues like leaks and mold that stem from structural or plumbing problems. Given that you've identified a leak from the AC, it is advisable to notify your landlord immediately. Document your findings with photographs and a written notice to create a record of your communication.

While you may have some responsibility for keeping your apartment clean and free from conditions that promote mold growth, significant mold problems resulting from water leaks typically fall under the landlord's purview. The law requires landlords to ensure that their properties are safe and livable.

For your own health and safety, it is crucial to address the mold issue as soon as possible. Mold can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and other health problems, especially in a region like Dubai where humidity levels are high. Therefore, even if your landlord is responsible for repairs, taking proactive steps is essential.

I strongly recommend having a professional mold inspection done, especially since you're concerned about your health and the visible signs of mold. A qualified environmental inspection company can assess the extent of the mold growth, identify the source of moisture, and provide a remediation plan. This will give you peace of mind and ensure that the problem is dealt with thoroughly.

You can reach out to us for a professional inspection at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email us at hello@saniservice.com. We can help you navigate this issue and ensure that your living environment is safe and healthy.

In summary, notify your landlord about the AC leak and the mold, document everything, and consider getting a professional inspection to assess the situation thoroughly. Taking these steps will help protect your health and ensure the issue is resolved appropriately.
