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 wall moisture in rental?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet. It’s not just a musty smell; it feels like there’s moisture seeping through from the walls. Given that this is a rental property, am I responsible for addressing this issue or should I be reporting it to the landlord?

Absolutely, the presence of moisture in your bedroom closet after rain is something that needs to be addressed. In Dubai and other parts of UAE, especially during our rainy seasons, it’s quite common for buildings to experience dampness due to various reasons like plumbing issues or structural defects.

In terms of responsibilities, it's generally recommended that landlords maintain the premises to ensure they are safe, habitable, and free from hazards such as moisture. However, as a tenant in a rental property, you have a duty to report any issues that may affect your health or well-being. Given that this is a UAE rental agreement, I would strongly advise you to inform your landlord about the situation promptly.

In Dubai, there are specific building regulations and guidelines set forth by the Department of Municipal Services (DoMS) which mandate landlords to ensure their properties meet certain standards for indoor air quality and structural integrity. These laws can be found in the Building Code of Dubai and other relevant municipal bylaws. It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with these, but if you're unsure or uncomfortable navigating them, reaching out to a professional inspection service might help.

If you decide to report this to your landlord, make sure to document everything – take photos, note the date, time, and severity of the dampness issue. This can be crucial in case there's any dispute down the line. If no action is taken after reporting or if the problem worsens, consulting with a professional environmental inspector could be necessary.

Saniservice offers comprehensive inspection services for such issues. They can help identify the root cause of the moisture and recommend appropriate remediation measures to prevent future occurrences. Call 800-MOLDS (66537) or email hello@saniservice.com if you're considering their services. Remember, addressing this issue quickly can not only improve your living conditions but also prevent potential mold growth which can be detrimental to health.

In the meantime, keep affected areas well-ventilated and consider using dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels until the situation is resolved.
