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 the kitchen sink water damage?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp spot forming under the kitchen sink, which is quite concerning because it’s in the rental agreement that the landlord is supposed to handle any water damage. Given that we’ve been living here for two years and no one has addressed this issue yet, should I be concerned about cleaning up after myself or should I bring this to the landlord's attention?

Absolutely, the kitchen sink water damage is something that needs to be addressed. Given your situation where there's been an ongoing issue for two years without resolution, it would be wise to bring this matter to your landlord’s attention promptly.

Firstly, you should assess the extent of the dampness and water damage. In Dubai, buildings are often designed with a focus on mitigating moisture issues due to the climate but it's essential to ensure that proper maintenance is being carried out. If the issue seems severe or persistent, consider having a professional inspection done, which can be in line with local regulations such as those stipulated by the Real Estate Agency Authority (REA). In the UAE, landlords are typically responsible for major structural issues and water damage within their properties.

To formally bring this to your landlord’s attention, you might want to draft an official complaint or letter detailing when the issue first appeared and how it has been worsening over time. This documentation can help in case of disputes later on. It's advisable to keep copies of any correspondence sent and received as evidence.

Regarding immediate action, if the dampness is causing concerns about mold growth, which is a common risk in such conditions, you should take steps to prevent further damage or health issues. Simple DIY solutions include ensuring proper ventilation, using dehumidifiers if necessary, and cleaning surfaces with anti-microbial agents. However, for deeper cleaning or remediation, it might be best to call upon professional services like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They can provide the necessary expertise and equipment to tackle the problem effectively.

Remember, while you have a responsibility to maintain your living space, landlords are obligated to ensure it's in good condition. Don't hesitate to advocate for yourself and take action when needed to protect both your health and property rights.
