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 mold to landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from under the sink in the bathroom. When I checked, there was mold growing on the walls and even parts of the ceiling. My lease says it’s the landlord's responsibility to maintain the property, but I’m unsure if this counts as maintenance or if I should be addressing it myself. Should I speak with my landlord about this?

Absolutely, you should report the mold to your landlord. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the building maintenance is typically under the landlord's responsibility as per the laws and agreements set out within rental contracts. However, it’s important that you handle this issue appropriately.

Firstly, before you contact your landlord, ensure you've taken some basic steps:
• Identify the extent of mold growth: Is it on walls, ceiling, or other surfaces? Take photos to document the situation.
• Assess if there are any water sources nearby: Check for leaks in pipes, condensation issues, or signs of dampness that might indicate a potential problem.

If you’re unsure about your next steps or feel the issue is severe enough that it could pose health risks (mold can trigger allergies and respiratory issues), consider seeking professional advice. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer mold inspection and remediation services that adhere to local standards and regulations. You might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert opinion.

When you do speak with your landlord, be clear and direct about the situation. Provide them with the documentation (photos) and explain why you believe this issue requires their attention. It's also a good idea to keep copies of any correspondence you have with your landlord regarding this matter.

If after several attempts or if your landlord does not address the problem promptly, consider consulting legal advice. The Property Management Law in Dubai provides guidelines that support tenant rights in such situations, ensuring landlords must take necessary actions to rectify building defects and maintain a habitable environment for tenants.

Remember, while addressing mold issues is crucial, it’s equally important to ensure you are handling them responsibly. Professional assistance can guide you through the process efficiently and effectively.
