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 the landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of mold growing around the window sill in my bedroom. My son has been sneezing and his eyes are itchy ever since we moved into this rental apartment two years ago. The landlord hasn't mentioned anything about cleaning or maintaining the property, but I'm not sure if it's my responsibility to address these issues. Should I bring up the mold with the landlord, or is there something else I should consider first?

Absolutely, you should definitely bring up the mold issue to your landlord. In Dubai and the UAE, landlords have responsibilities towards maintaining their properties in a habitable condition. The building code and tenant rights within the UAE do state that the landlord is responsible for ensuring a safe environment free from hazardous conditions like mold growth.

Firstly, you need to gather some evidence of the mold growth around your window sill. Take clear photographs or videos so there’s no doubt about the extent of the issue. This can be crucial in supporting your case with the landlord.

It's important to consider that while minor issues might not immediately warrant legal action, persistent and visible mold growth is a serious matter. It could lead to health concerns for you and especially your son who has shown signs of allergies. The presence of mold can trigger or worsen respiratory conditions like asthma.

Before making any formal complaints, you may want to discuss the situation with the landlord first. Sometimes landlords might not be aware of these issues due to lack of maintenance staff or regular inspections. A polite conversation could resolve the matter without escalating it into a complaint.

However, if no action is taken within a reasonable timeframe (like 1-2 weeks), it's advisable to seek professional help for an inspection and remediation. You can call Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance. They offer expert mold testing and removal services which are compliant with local regulations.

Remember, addressing the issue promptly is key as prolonged exposure to mold can cause severe health problems including respiratory issues, skin irritation, and even more serious conditions in extreme cases. Keeping your child's wellbeing at heart, this step should not be delayed.

In Dubai, you have rights under the Federal Law No. 12 of 2003 on Civil Transactions regarding rental agreements. Your landlord is required to ensure that the property meets safety standards and is free from hazards like mold. If necessary, you can also consult with a legal advisor specializing in tenant rights for further guidance.

Taking these steps not only helps maintain your health but also ensures compliance with local regulations. After all, a clean, healthy living environment should be every resident's right!
