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 health concerns be my landlord's responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet, even though the windows were closed. It’s really concerning because my children have been complaining of sore throats and coughing lately. The landlord hasn't mentioned anything about cleaning or maintaining the air quality in our rental unit. Should this be something I should bring up with him, or is it part of his responsibilities?

Absolutely, dampness and health concerns should be your landlord's responsibility. Especially in the context of the UAE and Dubai, it is crucial to maintain a healthy indoor environment as per local regulations like the UAE Building Code (EN 13782) which addresses moisture management and mold prevention.

In your situation, given that you've noticed persistent dampness even with closed windows, it's highly likely that there could be an underlying issue such as a leak or poor ventilation. This is not only affecting the quality of air in your bedroom closet but also posing potential health risks to your children who are experiencing sore throats and coughing.

The UAE has strict guidelines regarding indoor environmental quality (IEQ). The UAE Real Estate Agency's Green Building Rating System (GBRS) includes criteria for moisture control, which landlords must adhere to. Moreover, the country’s Building Code emphasizes the importance of addressing dampness promptly to prevent the growth of mold and other microorganisms that can lead to respiratory issues.

It would be wise to bring this matter up with your landlord as soon as possible. However, if you feel that the issue is significant or worsening, I highly recommend scheduling a professional inspection. Companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive inspections for indoor air quality and moisture management, ensuring you get accurate assessments and effective solutions.

In case of persistent issues, don't hesitate to involve other authorities such as the Dubai Municipality's Environmental Health Department for further guidance and enforcement if necessary. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is not only a legal requirement but also ensures your health and safety.

If you decide to reach out to Saniservice, you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how they can assist with your specific situation. Don’t wait too long as moisture issues can worsen over time leading to higher remediation costs and health risks.
