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.

Should dampness and coughs be landlords' responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in my bedroom, especially near the corner by the window. My kids have been complaining of a persistent dry cough that seems to get worse at night. The AC in our apartment has been running constantly to try and keep it from getting worse, but I’m not sure if it’s something I should be addressing with the landlord or if it's within their maintenance scope. Should dampness like this fall under their responsibilities?

Absolutely, dampness and associated health issues like persistent coughs should be taken seriously. In the UAE, particularly within the context of Dubai, the building's condition is a shared responsibility between tenants and landlords. However, there are specific regulations that guide this.

First off, dampness in your bedroom could indicate several issues including poor ventilation, inadequate drainage, or even structural problems. This is especially common after rain events which have been more frequent due to climate change impacts on the region.

In Dubai, the Building Control Department of the municipality oversees building standards and environmental regulations. According to their guidelines, landlords are expected to maintain the structure in a safe and livable condition. Issues like dampness that can lead to mold growth fall under this umbrella. Mold is particularly problematic as it can cause respiratory issues, especially for children.

Given your situation, I would recommend contacting both your landlord and possibly even reaching out to local health authorities or environmental inspectors. The UAE has stringent rules against the spread of mold and other indoor air pollutants. It's a good idea to have an independent inspection conducted by professionals who can assess the situation properly. This way, you'll get accurate information on what needs fixing.

For immediate relief from dampness and coughs, try using dehumidifiers if your AC system isn't sufficient. Also, keep windows slightly open when weather permits for natural ventilation. Make sure there's no standing water near your apartment that could contribute to mold growth.

In case of persistent issues or health concerns, don’t hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They offer professional remediation services for mold and other indoor air quality problems.

Remember, staying proactive about these issues is key to maintaining a healthy living environment. If the situation isn't resolved by your landlord, you may have grounds to escalate the matter through local tenant protection laws or consumer rights organizations.
