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 dampness to my landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the closet near the window of my bedroom. It's concerning because it started right after we moved into this rental three months ago. The landlord hasn't mentioned anything about checking for leaks or moisture damage, and I'm unsure if I should address it myself. Should I bring this up with the landlord, or is it something that tenants are expected to handle?

Absolutely, you should bring the persistent dampness to your landlord's attention. In the UAE, including Dubai, it is the landlord's responsibility to ensure that the property meets certain standards of habitability, especially concerning moisture and water damage.

According to the Real Estate Agency Regulations 2013 in the UAE, landlords are required to maintain their properties in a safe and habitable condition. This includes ensuring there’s no significant leakage or dampness issues that could compromise the structural integrity or comfort of the tenant. While it's true that tenants are expected to care for the property during their occupancy, this does not absolve the landlord from addressing critical maintenance issues.

Given the dampness you've noticed, especially in a closet near a window, there might be underlying moisture concerns such as leaks or condensation issues. These can lead to mold growth, which is harmful both to health and the structure of your home. It's not uncommon for new properties to experience some settling or minor water issues, but persistent dampness should definitely warrant attention.

If you do decide to address this issue with your landlord, it’s recommended that they take appropriate actions such as checking for leaks in pipes or windows, ensuring proper ventilation, and installing dehumidifiers if necessary. However, given the potential health risks associated with moisture-related issues, I would strongly advise seeking a professional inspection from a reputable company like Saniservice. They can provide a detailed analysis of the situation and suggest appropriate remediation measures.

Remember to keep records of your observations and any communications with the landlord regarding this issue. If you're uncomfortable dealing directly or if no action is taken after reasonable notice, it might be wise to escalate the matter through local authorities or seek advice from tenant associations who can provide guidance on your rights as a tenant in Dubai.

So yeah, definitely bring up the dampness and consider getting a professional inspection. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.
