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 in a closed closet landlords' responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet, even though it was closed tightly. The walls seemed to be absorbing moisture from outside, and now that it’s getting cooler, there's a noticeable increase in humidity inside. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know if it’s something landlords are typically responsible for?

Hey there,

Dampness in a closed closet can indeed be concerning and is often a topic of debate between tenants and landlords. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, regulations regarding such issues are somewhat nuanced. Typically, landlords are responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of a property which includes walls, floors, and ceilings. However, what you're experiencing might fall under conditions that could be more complex.

Firstly, it's important to assess whether this issue is due to external factors like rain or internal ones such as faulty plumbing. If the closet is situated in an area prone to dampness from outside, especially after rainfall, landlords may have obligations to take preventive measures. Dubai has guidelines for building construction and maintenance which should be adhered to; however, these can vary based on the specific building codes of your property.

If you've noticed a persistent increase in humidity even with closed doors, it's crucial to check if there are any underlying issues that need addressing. This could range from gaps in sealing around windows or doors to faulty ventilation systems. It might also be worth checking for signs of water seepage through the walls or roof.

For serious cases where the issue is not easily resolved by simple repairs, I would recommend a professional inspection. Saniservice can provide comprehensive assessments and recommendations. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice tailored to your specific situation.

In addition to addressing the immediate issue, it might be beneficial to implement some preventive measures like using dehumidifiers in affected areas and ensuring good ventilation. This can help manage humidity levels and prevent mold growth.

Remember, while landlords have responsibilities under local laws, understanding these can sometimes be challenging without a clear cut-and-dry rulebook. So, it's always wise to seek professional advice when dealing with such issues.

Hope this helps!
Best,
[Your Name]
