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 my landlord?« Back to Previous Page

My living room has started to feel really stuffy lately, and I've noticed a bit of mold growing on the window sills. I live in a 2-bedroom apartment in Jumeirah, and it gets pretty humid here, especially this time of year. I usually keep the windows closed and rely on the AC, but it seems like that’s not helping anymore. As a renter, I'm not sure if it's my responsibility to deal with this mold issue or if I should talk to my landlord about it. What are my options?

Yes, you should definitely report the mold issue to your landlord. In the UAE, landlords have a legal obligation to ensure that their properties are habitable and free from health hazards, including mold. Mold can pose serious health risks, particularly for individuals with respiratory issues or weakened immune systems. Given the humid climate in Dubai, especially during the summer months, it’s not uncommon for mold to develop if moisture is not properly managed.

First, document the mold growth with clear photos and take note of any specific areas affected, such as your window sills. This will provide evidence when you communicate with your landlord. In your message, express your concerns about the mold and its potential health implications. It’s also important to highlight that the stuffiness in your living room may be related to inadequate ventilation or humidity control, which could be exacerbating the mold issue.

As a renter, it’s typically your landlord’s responsibility to address mold problems, especially if they are a result of structural issues or maintenance lapses. The UAE’s Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) emphasizes that landlords must maintain their properties and rectify any issues that could affect tenants' health and safety.

While waiting for a response from your landlord, consider taking some immediate steps to mitigate the situation. Ensure that your living space is as ventilated as possible. If you can, open windows briefly to let in fresh air, but be mindful of the humidity outside. Using a dehumidifier can also help reduce moisture levels, making it less conducive for mold growth.

If the mold continues to be a concern or if it worsens, you may want to seek a professional inspection. A qualified environmental inspection company can assess the extent of the mold problem and recommend appropriate remediation strategies. In Dubai, you can contact professionals by calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or you can email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

Taking proactive steps is crucial not just for your comfort, but for your health and well-being. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your landlord and follow up on any necessary actions needed to resolve this issue.
