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 sandstorm cleanup?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorm, I noticed a fine layer of dust had settled on all the surfaces in our living room. It's been two weeks since we moved into this rental apartment, and while the landlord mentioned they handle exterior cleaning, it doesn't seem like they've done anything yet. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with sandstorms and cleaning responsibilities in Dubai?

Landlords in the UAE, specifically in Dubai, usually have the responsibility to maintain and clean the exterior of the property. However, regarding sandstorm cleanup, it's a bit more nuanced. The responsibilities can vary based on local laws and agreements set forth between the landlord and tenant.

In the UAE, there isn't specific legislation mandating landlords to clean after sandstorms, but it's generally expected that they will do so as part of their duty to keep the property in good condition. If you've noticed a fine layer of dust settling on your apartment surfaces two weeks post-move-in, it's reasonable to expect some level of cleaning from your landlord.

However, if there has been no action taken or if you feel the cleanup is inadequate, you may want to take proactive steps. First, review your rental agreement to understand what services are included and what aren't. If necessary, reach out to your landlord in writing to request a thorough cleaning, including a detailed description of the areas that need attention.

If communication with your landlord doesn't yield satisfactory results, consider engaging professional environmental inspection services. This can help ensure that all aspects of indoor air quality and surface cleanliness are addressed. Companies like Saniservice (hello@saniservice.com or call 800-MOLDS / 800-66537) specialize in such inspections and can provide recommendations for proper cleaning procedures.

Additionally, it might be beneficial to check with other tenants who may have faced similar situations. You could also explore joining local tenant associations where you might find support or collective action if needed.

Remember that maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial during and after sandstorms. Regular cleaning, especially of surfaces prone to dust accumulation like windowsills, door frames, and furniture, can help reduce the impact of the storms on your living environment.

In summary, while it's not legally mandated for landlords in Dubai to clean post-sandstorm, it is expected as part of their responsibilities. If you're not satisfied with the current situation, don't hesitate to seek professional assistance or take proactive steps to address the issue.
