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 dampness and water damage the landlord's responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the basement of our rental. It’s been almost two weeks, but the smell hasn’t gone away and there seems to be some visible water spots on the walls too. The landlord hasn’t responded to my messages about it yet. Do you think it's part of their responsibility to fix this?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, landlords have responsibilities to maintain their properties in a condition that is safe and habitable for tenants. Dampness and water damage in your rental can be a serious concern as it may lead to mold growth, structural issues, and health problems for you and your family.

According to the Real Estate Agency Regulations 2018 (UAE Federal Law No. 3 of 2015), landlords are expected to ensure that properties meet certain standards of repair and maintenance. This includes addressing any water leaks or dampness issues promptly. In your case, if you've noticed visible water spots on the walls and a persistent damp smell after rain, it is reasonable to assume this falls under their responsibility.

However, before jumping straight into assuming it's the landlord’s problem, there are steps you can take:

1. Document the Issue: Take photos of the water spots and record the condition as evidence.
2. Inform Your Landlord: Send a clear message or email to your landlord detailing what you’ve observed and requesting their attention to the issue. Be sure to include dates and times for your observations, if possible.
3. Check Your Rental Agreement: Review any terms of your lease agreement that may specify responsibilities between you and the landlord regarding maintenance.

If after giving the landlord a chance to respond and no action is taken within a reasonable time frame (which might be around 7-10 days), it would be wise to seek professional assistance. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can offer inspections for dampness and water damage. They will assess the extent of the problem and recommend appropriate remediation steps.

Remember, addressing mold growth promptly is crucial as prolonged exposure could lead to respiratory issues or other health problems. If you suspect a mold issue, it’s important to act quickly and consult experts who can provide guidance on safe removal methods and necessary precautions.

So, if you feel you need immediate help, don't hesitate to reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They'll be able to guide you through the process of assessing and resolving the issue.

Stay proactive about your living environment, and ensure it remains healthy and safe for all occupants.
