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 clean the kitchen or ask my landlord?« Back to Previous Page

My kitchen counter always seems to have crumbs and spills after my toddler snacks there, and I’m worried about keeping it clean since we’re renting. I’ve noticed some sticky spots that just don’t come off, and I’m not sure if it's my responsibility to deep clean the surfaces or if the landlord usually handles that. We’ve also seen some ants recently, which adds to my concern about hygiene. Should I be doing a thorough cleaning myself, or is it something I can request from the landlord?

When it comes to maintaining a clean kitchen, especially with a toddler around, it’s important to balance your responsibilities as a tenant with the expectations of your landlord. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, landlords are typically responsible for maintaining the overall condition of the property, including ensuring that it is habitable and free from pests. However, as a tenant, you also have a duty to keep the premises clean and to report any issues that may arise.

Given your situation with sticky spots and the presence of ants, it would be prudent to take some initial steps yourself. Start with a thorough cleaning of the kitchen counters, using a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap. For stubborn sticky spots, consider using a baking soda paste (mixing baking soda with a small amount of water) to gently scrub those areas. This is a safe and effective way to remove residues without damaging the surface.

If the ants persist after cleaning, this may indicate a larger problem that requires professional intervention. In such cases, it’s advisable to contact your landlord to inform them of the pest issue and request pest control services. This is especially important if you notice an infestation, as it can impact the indoor environmental quality of your home. In accordance with UAE regulations, landlords are obligated to address pest control to ensure a healthy living environment.

If you feel uncomfortable handling the cleaning or if there are deeper issues such as mold or structural concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to a professional environmental inspection and remediation company. Experts can assess your kitchen and provide tailored solutions to ensure it’s safe and clean for your child. You can contact SaniService at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

In summary, while you should take proactive steps to clean your kitchen, it’s also within your rights to ask your landlord for help, especially regarding pest control. Keeping open communication with your landlord will help ensure that your living space remains healthy and safe for your family.
