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 shower mold to my landlord?« Back to Previous Page

The bathroom in my apartment has developed this persistent mold around the edges of the shower tiles, and I can't seem to get rid of it no matter how much I scrub. I've only been here for about six months, and I'm starting to worry that it's a maintenance issue that my landlord should handle. The mold seems to be coming back even after I clean it, and I'm not sure if I should just keep trying to fix it myself or if I should ask my landlord to send someone. Should I take this up with my landlord, or is this something I’m responsible for as a tenant?

Yes, you should definitely report the persistent mold in your shower to your landlord. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, maintaining a healthy living environment is critical, and mold can indicate underlying issues that may not be easily resolved with simple cleaning.

Mold growth in bathrooms often results from inadequate ventilation, leaks, or moisture retention. Given that you've only been in your apartment for six months and the mold keeps returning despite your efforts to clean it, this suggests that there may be a more significant problem that needs to be addressed.

Under UAE law, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the property and ensuring that it is free from health hazards. This includes issues related to mold, especially if it poses a risk to your indoor air quality and overall health. According to the Dubai Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA), landlords must ensure that their properties meet safety and health standards, which include addressing mold infestations promptly.

When you contact your landlord, be sure to document the extent of the mold problem with photographs and describe any cleaning attempts you've made. This will help them understand the severity of the situation. You can request that they arrange for a professional inspection and remediation service to assess the source of the moisture and remove the mold safely.

If the landlord is unresponsive or does not take appropriate action, you may consider escalating the issue with the RERA or seeking legal advice. Persistent mold can lead to serious health concerns, including respiratory issues and allergies, so it's essential to address this promptly.

In cases where mold is extensive or if you're unsure about the extent of the issue, it's advisable to seek a professional inspection. Companies like SaniService offer mold inspections and remediation services, and you can reach them by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for expert help.

Taking action now can help prevent more significant issues down the line, so don’t hesitate to reach out to your landlord and, if necessary, a professional service. Your health and comfort in your living space should always be a priority.
