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 nursery a landlord issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the nursery area of our second-floor apartment. It's really concerning because it’s right next to my children's bedroom where they spend most of their time. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue, which makes me wonder if it’s something we should address ourselves or if maybe the landlord is responsible for such issues in a rental. Should I bring this up with them, or am I overthinking it?

Dampness in the nursery area of your apartment can indeed be a serious concern. In the UAE, including Dubai, it is generally the landlord's responsibility to ensure that properties are maintained in good condition and free from issues like dampness which can lead to mold growth – a hazard especially for young children.

In the UAE, laws such as the Civil Transactions Law No. 21 of 1985 govern rental agreements. Article 460 states that the landlord must maintain the property in a habitable condition during the term of the lease. This includes addressing any issues like dampness or mold which can affect the health and safety of tenants, especially children.

Given your observation of persistent dampness for two years, it's crucial to address this issue promptly. While you might be concerned about bringing up such an issue with your landlord, it is generally a good idea to communicate openly. Most landlords are responsible and willing to take action if informed properly. However, if the matter is not resolved satisfactorily or quickly enough, you may need to seek professional assistance.

For starters, consider sending your landlord a formal notice detailing the dampness issue and requesting prompt action. Include specific dates of when you first noticed it and any other relevant details that could help pinpoint the cause. If the landlord does not respond adequately, you might want to involve a third party for mediation or seek legal advice on your rights.

Remember, prolonged exposure to damp environments can lead to health issues such as respiratory problems, allergies, and asthma – particularly in children who have weaker immune systems. A simple DIY inspection might help identify the source of the dampness, but given its persistence and potential health implications, a professional building inspection is recommended. This will provide detailed information on the extent of the issue and necessary remedial actions.

In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can offer comprehensive mold inspections, moisture mapping, and remediation services. Their expertise can help ensure that your nursery area is safe for your children. You could contact them through their hotline 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a quote.

Ultimately, while addressing the landlord might be the first step, ensuring the safety and health of your children should remain your top priority. Don't hesitate to take action if necessary to protect their wellbeing.
