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 ask my landlord to clean the ducts?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be blowing out more dust than cool air lately, and I've noticed that my allergies have been acting up more than usual. I live in a two-bedroom apartment in Dubai Marina, and the vents are in both the living room and the bedrooms. It's been about a year since I moved in, and I can't help but wonder if the ductwork has ever been cleaned. Since I'm renting, I'm not sure if this is something I should take care of myself or if it falls under the landlord's responsibility. Should I ask my landlord to handle the duct cleaning, or is this something I should just do on my own?

Given your situation in Dubai Marina, it seems prudent to address the issue of your AC system blowing out dust and exacerbating your allergies. In the UAE, especially in high-humidity areas like Dubai, duct cleaning is not just a maintenance task but can also significantly impact your indoor air quality.

Typically, the responsibility for duct cleaning falls under the landlord's purview as part of maintaining the rental property, particularly if the ducts have not been cleaned since you moved in. You should certainly communicate your concerns to your landlord. Explain your symptoms and the noticeable increase in dust from the AC. It is possible that the ducts have accumulated dust, mold, or other contaminants that could be negatively affecting your health.

According to the UAE's regulations for indoor air quality, landlords are encouraged to ensure that HVAC systems are maintained properly, which includes routine cleaning of ductwork. This is not only beneficial for tenant comfort but also essential for health standards set forth by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE).

If your landlord is unresponsive or unwilling to address the issue, you might consider getting a professional inspection. A qualified environmental inspection company can assess the ductwork’s condition and perform necessary cleaning. This may be particularly important if there are signs of mold or other serious contaminants, which can lead to further health issues.

For your immediate health concerns, consider using air purifiers in your apartment until the ducts are cleaned. This can help reduce airborne allergens and improve your overall indoor air quality.

If you decide to go ahead with a professional cleaning service, I recommend reaching out to a trusted company experienced in duct cleaning. You can contact SaniService at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection and further assistance.

In sum, start by discussing the issue with your landlord. If they are uncooperative or if the situation persists, consider professional intervention to ensure a safe and healthy living environment.
