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 near the sea a maintenance issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness coming from the balcony area of my rental apartment. It's concerning because it’s right next to the sea, and there are already some visible mold spots on the walls. Given that we’ve lived here for two years and just haven’t had much rainfall until recently, should this be something I’m responsible for addressing, or is it more likely a maintenance issue?

It sure seems like dampness near the sea could be a maintenance issue. Given your location in Dubai and the recent rainfall, it's understandable that you're concerned about the dampness and mold appearing on your balcony walls. In the UAE, particularly here in Dubai, properties close to the coast can face unique challenges due to high humidity levels and salt spray from the ocean. This combination can lead to issues like water infiltration and structural damage over time.

Firstly, it's important to understand that while some moisture is normal near the sea, persistent dampness could indicate a serious problem. You should definitely have a professional inspection done to determine if there are any leaks or other underlying issues. In Dubai, regulations require landlords to maintain properties in good condition, so if this issue was present when you moved in but now has worsened, it might be something the landlord needs to address.

If you decide to proceed with an inspection, I'd recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or sending them an email through hello@saniservice.com. They have expertise in environmental inspection and remediation specifically tailored for the UAE market.

In the meantime, take some steps to minimize further damage:
1. Ensure your balcony has proper drainage and is tilted slightly away from the building.
2. Keep doors and windows closed during rain to prevent water from entering.
3. Use dehumidifiers if possible to reduce moisture in the air.
4. Check for any visible signs of water leaks around pipes or fixtures.

Remember, ignoring these issues could lead to more extensive damage down the line. It's always better to be proactive and address potential problems early on. If you need assistance with this process, feel free to contact Saniservice for professional guidance.
