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 utility closet to landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the utility closet, which is right next to the laundry room. It's concerning because it’s always humid and my clothes are starting to smell musty. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue, but I’m not sure if it’s something that should be addressed by me or if it falls under the landlord’s maintenance responsibilities. Should I bring this up with them?

Absolutely, you should bring the damp utility closet to your landlord's attention. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, maintaining indoor environmental quality is paramount for health and comfort, especially after a rainfall event like what you've experienced recently.

The presence of persistent dampness can indeed lead to musty odors and potentially harmful mold growth, which could affect not just your clothes but also your overall health. Mold spores can trigger allergies or respiratory issues, so it's important to address this promptly.

According to the UAE Real Estate Regulations, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining common areas in a habitable condition. This includes addressing water damage and ensuring proper ventilation to prevent such situations from occurring. However, it’s always wise to check your lease agreement for specific clauses regarding maintenance responsibilities.

I recommend scheduling a professional inspection with a company like Saniservice (you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com). They will be able to assess the condition of your utility closet and provide necessary remediation steps. In the meantime, try to ensure proper ventilation by opening windows if possible, and consider using dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels.

Remember, addressing this issue sooner rather than later can prevent potential health risks and costly repairs down the line. Don't hesitate to bring it up with your landlord, emphasizing the importance of a safe living environment for you and any other tenants.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance if needed.

Hope this helps!
