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 water pooling near balcony stairs?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed water pooling near the base of the stairs leading to our shared balcony. The landlord hasn’t addressed it yet, but I’m not sure if it’s my responsibility to clean up or if I should report it to maintenance. Should I just sweep it up myself, or is this something that falls under their duties?

Absolutely, it's understandable to be concerned about the safety and condition of your shared space. In Dubai/UAE, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining communal areas, which include stairs leading to balconies. However, there might be nuances depending on your specific lease agreement.

Given that water pooling near the base of your balcony stairs can pose risks like slips or damage to flooring, it would be wise to report this issue to maintenance right away. If you feel comfortable doing so and if the situation doesn't seem too serious at first glance, you could try cleaning up yourself with a broom or mop. Just ensure that you wear appropriate footwear to avoid slipping and always keep a clear exit path in case of emergencies.

However, if the water pooling is due to leaking pipes or other significant issues, it might be prudent to contact a professional for an inspection. This isn't just about your safety but also the overall condition of the building. In Dubai, regulations under the Free Zone Real Estate Law (FZ-21) emphasize maintaining structural integrity and ensuring safe conditions for residents.

So, while you can clean up minor pooling yourself, it's crucial to inform maintenance and possibly a professional as well. This way, not only are you addressing immediate concerns but also ensuring long-term safety and compliance with local regulations.

If you need further assistance or have any specific questions, feel free to reach out directly at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. We're here to help!

Remember, keeping your living environment safe and clean is a shared responsibility in the UAE, so don't hesitate to take action!
