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 under stairs my landlord's responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the storage closet under the stairs. It’s gotten worse recently and now there's mold starting to form on some of my belongings. Should I be concerned about this being my landlord's responsibility or am I expected to handle it myself as part of regular cleaning?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, maintaining good indoor environmental quality is crucial. The dampness you've noticed under your stairs could indeed be a cause for concern, especially if mold has started to form on your belongings.

Firstly, it's important to understand that as per the laws of the UAE, including the Rental Property Management Regulations, landlords are generally responsible for ensuring the premises are in a good and safe condition. This includes addressing issues like dampness and mold growth which can affect both the structural integrity of the building and the health of its occupants.

However, this doesn't necessarily mean you're entirely off the hook when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. In many rental agreements, tenants are expected to keep their spaces clean and free from damage. If the dampness was not present before but has worsened recently, it could be due to factors such as blocked drains or faulty plumbing which might fall under your landlord's responsibility.

If you suspect that the issue is related to structural problems, it would be prudent to contact a professional for an inspection. In Dubai, there are several reputable companies like Saniservice who can provide detailed assessments and recommend appropriate remediation steps. You could call them on 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a visit.

In the meantime, you should take some precautions to prevent further damage and potential health risks. Regularly check for signs of dampness and mold, especially in areas that are prone to moisture like under stairs and storage closets. If you notice any suspicious growth, immediately address it by cleaning the area with a solution of water and detergent followed by drying thoroughly. Remember, persistent dampness can lead to serious issues so act quickly.

If after a reasonable time your landlord hasn't addressed the issue despite your requests, you may need to escalate the matter to the relevant real estate authority or seek legal advice.

Always keep records of any conversations or communications regarding this issue with your landlord for future reference. Remember, maintaining good communication and documentation can be key in resolving disputes related to rental properties.

Hope that helps!
