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 I address mold with my landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom closet, which is right next to the bathroom. When I opened it up, I could see some mold growing on the back of the walls. The landlord hasn’t mentioned anything about cleaning it up, and I’m unsure if this falls under their responsibilities or if I should bring it up with them. Should I address this with my landlord, or is there something else I should consider?

Absolutely, it's important to address the mold situation with your landlord. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, maintaining a safe and healthy living environment is key – especially after incidents like heavy rain which can lead to moisture buildup and subsequent mold growth.

Firstly, you should definitely inform your landlord about the mold presence. It’s their responsibility to ensure the property is in good condition, including addressing issues that arise from weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances. However, be prepared for a response that may take some time as landlords often have many units to manage and might not be immediately aware of every issue.

Regarding your specific situation – mold on the back of walls in a bedroom closet next to a bathroom - it's prudent to get this evaluated by professionals. The UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality, especially where moisture and dampness are concerned (DAMA 2018). A professional inspection can confirm if remediation is needed, ensuring both your health and the property's integrity.

If you decide to go ahead with a professional service, consider calling Saniservice at 800-66537 or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They offer comprehensive mold inspections, testing, and remediation services tailored for properties in Dubai. Their expertise can help mitigate any potential health risks associated with mold exposure.

While waiting on a response from your landlord, it’s wise to take basic precautions yourself. Open windows if possible to improve ventilation, use dehumidifiers or fans to reduce moisture, and clean the affected area gently to avoid spreading spores. However, don’t attempt removal of mold without professional guidance as improper handling can exacerbate the problem.

In conclusion, address this with your landlord but also consider getting a professional assessment for peace of mind and effective resolution. Your health is important, so don't hesitate to take action when necessary.

Remember, it's always better to be proactive about these issues. So, do not wait too long before you act on this situation.
