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 fix damp ceiling or landlord's responsibility?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we experienced last month, I noticed a persistent dampness coming from the ceiling above the storage area in my apartment. It’s concerning because it smells quite musty, and I’m not sure if this is something that should be fixed by me as a tenant or if it’s part of the landlord's maintenance responsibilities. What signs should I look for to determine who is responsible for addressing issues with ducts and ventilation?

Hey there! It's really important to address the damp ceiling situation promptly. First off, if you're experiencing musty smells and dampness coming from above your storage area, it could be a sign of poor ventilation or even an issue within the ducts or HVAC system. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, regulations do specify that landlords are responsible for maintaining common areas and ensuring the building's systems function properly.

First things first, you should definitely not attempt to fix this yourself. It’s crucial to call in a professional who can inspect your ventilation and ductwork. A simple call to 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com can get you an expert evaluation of your situation.

When you notice dampness like this, it's often indicative that there might be issues with the building’s air circulation. If your apartment has a shared ventilation system, it could mean something is amiss in the ducts above, which are maintained by the landlord according to local laws and regulations.

In Dubai, for instance, the Municipality has specific guidelines on how buildings should be ventilated to prevent such issues. If you find that water damage or dampness is recurring despite your best efforts to keep things dry, it’s a sign that professional help is needed.

Remember, in most residential areas of UAE, landlords are required by law to maintain the building's systems, including ventilation and air ducts. So, if you suspect an issue with these, it falls on the landlord to address.

It would be wise to notify your landlord about this situation in writing as soon as possible. They should then arrange for a professional inspection and take necessary actions to resolve any issues found.

Lastly, keep track of any changes or improvements that are made to ensure they effectively solve the problem. Regular maintenance checks can also help prevent such issues from arising in the future.

Hope this helps! If you have more questions or need further guidance, feel free to reach out.
