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 persistent closet dampness to landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the closet near the laundry area of our rental apartment on the third floor. It’s concerning because it doesn’t seem to be going away despite regular usage of the dryer. Should this be something I address with the landlord or am I responsible for cleaning up after the tenants before us?

Absolutely, it's wise to address the dampness issue with your landlord. Persistent moisture issues like what you're experiencing can lead to mold growth and other health concerns. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, such problems are common due to the climate and sometimes poor building practices.

Firstly, keep an eye on the condition of the closet. Note any changes in smell or appearance – these could be early signs of mold development. Mold can grow quickly under damp conditions and poses serious health risks especially for those with allergies or asthma.

Given the location near your laundry area and the fact that it hasn’t cleared up despite using the dryer, there might be an underlying issue. In Dubai, regulations like the Building Control Regulations (2017) emphasize the importance of moisture management in buildings. These rules stipulate that landlords must ensure proper ventilation and drainage systems are in place to prevent dampness and mold.

Given these facts, it would be prudent to inform your landlord about this situation. You can provide them with specific details like when you first noticed the issue and any actions taken so far such as using a dehumidifier or ensuring good airflow. If necessary, request an inspection by a professional environmental inspector who can assess the extent of the damage and recommend appropriate remediation steps.

For serious cases, I'd highly recommend reaching out to professionals for assistance. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive mold inspections and remediation services that comply with UAE standards. You could contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Remember, keeping your living space dry is crucial not just for comfort but also for your health. Regularly inspecting areas prone to moisture and addressing any issues promptly can prevent bigger problems down the line.

Call 800-MOLDS or send an email to hello@saniservice.com if you need help with this issue.

Best regards,
