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 duct cleaning covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a lot of debris in the vents near my bedroom. Given that this is a rental property, who is typically responsible for duct cleaning? Has anyone else experienced similar issues or know what to do about it?

Duct cleaning is indeed a crucial aspect of maintaining good indoor air quality and overall comfort in your living space. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, regulations can vary slightly from one emirate to another but generally, it's recommended that ductwork gets cleaned periodically. The responsibility for duct cleaning can be split between tenants and landlords depending on local rental agreements or specific laws.

In many cases, as a tenant, you might find yourself responsible for routine maintenance like dusting the vents and ensuring no obstructions are blocking air flow. However, if your landlord has neglected regular inspections and cleanings which result in significant debris build-up like what you've experienced after that dust storm, it could be argued that they should take on this responsibility.

In Dubai specifically, there isn't a specific law mandating when duct cleaning must occur or who is responsible for its cost. The laws are more focused on ensuring landlords maintain their properties to a certain standard which can include clean and functional ventilation systems.

If you're in a similar situation where you’ve noticed debris buildup after the dust storm, consider reaching out to your landlord first. If they agree that cleaning needs to be done, they may take care of it. However, if no agreement is reached, you could always request an inspection by a professional company like ours at Saniservice. We can assess the condition of your ducts and provide recommendations for cleaning.

Remember, regular inspections and cleanings are key to ensuring that your indoor environment remains healthy and hygienic. If you decide to go through with it, do ensure the service provider is licensed and certified in the UAE.

And if you need any further assistance or want us to take a look at your property, feel free to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. We are here to help!

Now, back to that pesky dust storm... sounds like it left quite the mess!
