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.

Are landlords responsible for humid basements?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell coming from the basement storage area of my apartment. My landlord mentioned they had sealed up some leaks but said it was still a bit humid down there. The kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and I’m worried it might be related to the indoor air quality in this part of the building. Has anyone else experienced similar issues or do you know if landlords are responsible for addressing such problems?

Absolutely, landlords have responsibilities to ensure the indoor air quality and overall condition of their properties. In Dubai/UAE, laws such as the Real Estate Agency Law (Law No. 10 of 2014) and the Landlord and Tenant Regulations require that a property be in good condition when rented out. This means that landlords must address issues like dampness or humidity in basements to maintain a healthy living environment.

In your case, if you've noticed a damp smell coming from the basement storage area of your apartment after recent rains, it's wise to take this seriously as humidity can indeed affect indoor air quality and lead to health concerns. The UAE has strict regulations against mold growth, and landlords are responsible for ensuring that such conditions do not exist.

I'd recommend you speak with your landlord about this issue immediately. Make sure they understand the importance of addressing these concerns. If they are not willing or able to take care of it, or if the situation persists, you may want to consider getting a professional inspection from an environmental testing company like ours at Saniservice. We can provide detailed reports and recommendations for resolving any issues.

Don't just rely on your landlord's word that they've sealed up leaks. A professional inspection can give you peace of mind and ensure that the air in your home is as safe as it should be. If you need more advice or want to book an inspection, feel free to call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality isn't just about comfort; it's also crucial for the health of your family. With proper attention and care, you can ensure that everyone in your home stays healthy and happy.
