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 rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the common area of our coworking space, and it got me thinking about the cleaning responsibilities. Our office is on the second floor, right next to the kitchen area where people often keep their lunches and drinks. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed some mildew stains on the carpet near the entrance. Should I bring this up with my landlord or is this something that falls under our coworking agreement?

Absolutely, you should bring the mold issue to your landlord's attention. In Dubai and the UAE, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of a property and ensuring it remains free from health hazards like mold.

Firstly, it’s important to assess the situation properly. Mold growth in a coworking space can be due to several factors including leaks, poor ventilation, or even humidity levels that aren't optimal. Given your workspace is on the second floor and next to a kitchen area, there's a higher chance of moisture issues from water leakage, splashes, or spills.

To address this, I’d recommend you take some pictures of the mildew stains near the entrance and document any other signs of dampness or mold growth. If it’s a small area, you can start by cleaning with a solution of bleach and water (1 part bleach to 9 parts water), scrubbing the affected area, and then rinsing thoroughly.

However, if the mold appears extensive, stubborn, or you're noticing health issues among colleagues due to its presence, I strongly suggest having a professional inspection. In Dubai, regulations mandate that landlords ensure properties are fit for habitation. The Emirates Building Control Department oversees these requirements and can provide guidance on what’s necessary in your case.

If you decide to move forward with an inspection or remediation, Saniservice is a reputable company based here in the UAE that offers professional mold testing and cleaning services. Their contact details: Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, it’s your right to work in an environment that is safe and healthy. Addressing this issue with your landlord promptly can help ensure a resolution before the situation worsens.
