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.

Is cleaning staff covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a layer of mud on the hardwood floor of the entryway, which seemed unusual given how well the rest of the apartment is maintained. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed that no one has cleaned up after a small spill in the hallway; it’s been there for days with only some dusting around. Should I be cleaning these areas myself or is this part of what the cleaning staff should handle?

Cleaning staff in the UAE is indeed covered by insurance but it's essential to understand that this coverage can vary widely. In Dubai, employers are required to provide a basic level of health and accident insurance for their employees as per the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) regulations.

However, if you're encountering issues with cleaning staff not addressing spills or maintaining certain areas of your apartment, it might be prudent to look into whether this falls under their job description. Generally in the UAE, cleaning staff are expected to perform regular tasks like dusting, mopping, and vacuuming. Yet specifics can vary based on contracts and individual responsibilities.

If you've noticed a persistent issue with spills or dirt not being cleaned up in your apartment complex, it might be worth speaking directly with the property management team. They can clarify the cleaning schedule and staff roles to ensure that all areas are adequately maintained according to local standards and regulations set by the Department of Municipalities and Urban Planning (DM&UP).

In cases where you feel the maintenance is not being met, consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. These services can provide guidance on whether it's part of your cleaning staff’s role and if necessary, they can help facilitate discussions with property management to ensure compliance.

Remember that while insurance may cover accidents involving staff, addressing ongoing maintenance concerns should be discussed directly with the relevant parties to maintain a clean and safe living environment for you and other residents.
