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 mold or notify the landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a lot of mold growing around the windowsill in the living room. The landlord hasn't mentioned anything about cleaning up after the rain, and I’m not sure if it’s my responsibility or if I should be bringing this to their attention. Should I clean it myself or is there a better way to approach this?

Cleaning mold can be tricky especially after heavy rains. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's essential to address mold issues promptly due to our humid climate and frequent rainfall. You should definitely notify your landlord as soon as you notice any signs of mold growth around windowsills or other areas.

In the UAE, building maintenance is a shared responsibility between tenants and landlords. The Landlord Tenant Law 2015 mandates that landlords are responsible for maintaining property in good condition, which includes addressing moisture issues that could lead to mold growth. It would be wise to inform your landlord about the situation so they can take appropriate action.

Before you notify them though, consider assessing the extent of the mold. If it's a small area and you feel confident about tackling it yourself, you might want to do some light cleaning first. Use a solution of water and detergent or a specialized mold cleaner. Make sure to wear protective gear such as gloves and masks during this process.

However, if the mold is extensive, spreading beyond a few square feet, or if you notice any health symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or skin irritation, it’s crucial to seek professional help immediately. Mold remediation in Dubai can be complex due to its composition and moisture content, and DIY methods might not be sufficient.

You can reach out to our company for a professional inspection and remediation at 800-MOLDS or by emailing hello@saniservice.com. We offer comprehensive services tailored to the UAE environment, ensuring that your home is safe from mold growth.

Remember, addressing mold promptly is crucial not only for health reasons but also to prevent further damage to your property. Always prioritize safety and proper cleanup when dealing with mold issues in Dubai or any part of the UAE.
