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 report damp carpet to landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp spot on the carpet in the nursery, which has only gotten worse. The AC seems to be running constantly trying to dry it out, but it’s not helping much. Given that we’re renting this apartment and our lease is up for renewal soon, should I address this issue with my landlord or try to manage it myself?

Absolutely, you should bring the damp carpet to your landlord's attention. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, indoor environmental quality is paramount, and regulations require landlords to ensure their properties are in good condition. The issue of a persistent damp spot can lead to more serious problems like mold growth, which could affect the health of children or even compromise the structural integrity of the building.

Firstly, it's crucial to understand that prolonged moisture issues can attract pests such as rodents and insects, leading to further damage or health risks for the nursery. In Dubai, it’s advised to keep your home dry to avoid these kinds of problems. If you suspect a damp spot is due to a water leak or similar issue, it might be best to have it inspected by a professional to rule out any hidden dangers.

Calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com could be beneficial. These services can provide immediate assistance and ensure that the area is properly assessed for moisture levels and potential mold growth. They can also advise on remediation steps, such as whether you need to remove carpeting temporarily to allow thorough drying.

If you're concerned about addressing this with your landlord, consider gathering some evidence—perhaps take photos of the damp spot and note any changes over time. Document the AC's constant operation, too, as this might indicate an issue that isn't being resolved. When speaking with your landlord, be clear and direct about the situation. Highlighting the potential health risks to children can help make a compelling case for prompt action.

Remember, in Dubai’s climate, it's common to experience occasional moisture issues after rain, but persistent dampness should not be ignored. It is your right as a tenant to request repairs and maintenance from your landlord. If no action is taken or if the issue worsens despite communication with the landlord, you might need to seek legal advice on how to proceed.

Taking swift action now could prevent bigger problems down the line, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for the children in the nursery.
