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.

Does landlord clean behind curtains during Ramadan?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a bit of mold growing behind the curtains in my living room. My landlord said it's his responsibility to clean the whole apartment, but I’m not sure if that includes the back of the curtains or if he’s referring only to the main areas like the kitchen and bathroom. Could someone clarify what typically falls under cleaning responsibilities for a rental during Ramadan?

In the UAE, particularly within the bustling city of Dubai, tenants and landlords often have varying interpretations regarding their cleaning responsibilities. The concept of Ramadan brings its own set of challenges especially concerning indoor environmental quality, which can sometimes lead to concerns like mold growth behind curtains.

Regarding your query about the landlord's responsibility during Ramadan, it is generally advisable for both parties to clarify these details in a rental agreement or at least communicate openly. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, there isn't specific legislation mandating what exactly landlords must clean during Ramadan. However, common practice suggests that landlords are responsible for cleaning major living areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms.

For minor areas such as behind curtains, it would be prudent to discuss with your landlord. If you believe mold growth is an issue that needs immediate attention, consider reaching out to a professional environmental inspection service. Companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments which can provide clarity on the extent of the problem and recommended solutions.

If you're uncomfortable navigating this conversation or if mold seems to be a significant concern, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We can provide expert advice tailored specifically for the UAE and help ensure that your living environment remains safe and healthy.

Remember, during Ramadan, it's also a good time to focus on maintaining overall cleanliness in your apartment to foster a positive living atmosphere. Regular cleaning of smaller areas can prevent issues like mold from becoming problematic.
