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 handle kitchen ceiling dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the kitchen that doesn’t seem to go away, even with regular ventilation. The ceiling near the refrigerator has some discoloration, which I’m worried might be mold. Given that this is a rental and we’ve been here for two years now, should I be responsible for cleaning this area or does it fall under maintenance?

Hi there,

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, landlords generally have the responsibility to maintain and ensure the proper functionality of rental properties. This includes addressing issues like dampness and mold growth that can arise due to various factors such as water leaks or poor ventilation.

The kitchen ceiling you're mentioning is a critical area where moisture can lead to significant problems if not properly managed. Persistent dampness could indeed indicate a more serious issue, possibly related to a leak from above, improper plumbing, or inadequate waterproofing materials used during construction.

Given that there's discoloration and the dampness persists despite regular ventilation, it would be prudent for you to inform your landlord about this situation immediately. It’s important to document any issues by taking photos and noting the exact date of observation. This will help establish a timeline which can be useful when making claims or requests.

In Dubai, according to Building and Construction Authority (BUA) regulations, landlords are obligated to ensure that the premises are in good condition at the time of tenancy agreement and must maintain them during the term. If you have reasonable cause to believe that this issue arose due to faulty workmanship or a defect in the property, your landlord should take care of it.

However, if the dampness is attributed to actions not under their control (like heavy rain or user negligence), then they might argue for a different course of action. In such cases, you can still request them to address the issue as part of routine maintenance.

If the situation escalates and you feel the landlord isn’t acting fast enough, you may consider seeking advice from a professional environmental inspector who can assess the condition of your property and provide recommendations. They could also help determine if there's a need for remediation work beyond what regular cleaning might accomplish.

For professional assistance in managing mold issues or other indoor air quality concerns, don't hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They can offer expert guidance and services tailored to the local climate and building conditions.

Remember, maintaining good communication with your landlord is key in such situations. Stay proactive and document all interactions for clarity and future reference.

Best regards,
[Your Name]
