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 request duct cleaning from landlord?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a significant amount of dirt and debris accumulating in my bedroom vents. My landlord mentioned that they handle all maintenance, but I’m unsure if duct cleaning is included in those services. Given that it’s been two years since any major cleaning was done here, should I be concerned about the quality of air we’re breathing? Do you think it would be reasonable to request a professional duct cleaning or could this be something my landlord is responsible for under our lease agreement?

Hey there,

Given the dust storm we experienced recently and the accumulation of dirt and debris in your bedroom vents, it's understandable to be concerned about the quality of air you're breathing. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, duct cleaning is a critical aspect of maintaining indoor environmental quality (IEQ). It’s essential for ensuring that the air circulating through your home remains clean and healthy.

Typically, landlords are responsible for regular maintenance and repairs under lease agreements. However, if your agreement doesn’t explicitly state that they handle duct cleaning, it might be prudent to check the fine print or discuss this with your landlord.

Ductwork in the UAE can accumulate dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens over time, especially after events like a dust storm. This can lead to respiratory issues for you and your family members. Two years is quite some time since the last major cleaning, so it's likely that significant buildup has occurred.

I would recommend arranging a professional inspection first to assess the current state of your ducts. Many companies in Dubai offer this service and can provide a detailed report on what needs to be cleaned or repaired. This way, you can make an informed decision about whether a thorough cleaning is necessary.

If after the inspection it’s determined that a cleaning is needed, most likely you’d be within your rights to request professional duct cleaning. Many landlords in Dubai do cover such services under maintenance agreements, but there's no harm in asking for clarity or getting a quote from a reputable service provider.

Remember, maintaining good air quality not only improves comfort and health but can also protect against potential asthma triggers and other respiratory issues. If you decide to go ahead with cleaning, consider choosing a company that follows best practices like using negative air pressure systems to prevent dust redistribution during the process.

Lastly, if you're still unsure about your rights or responsibilities under your lease, it might be helpful to consult with a property management expert or legal advisor in Dubai.

So, yeah, I'd definitely recommend reaching out to Saniservice for an inspection and quote. Their contact info is 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com if you need more information.

Take care,
[Your Name]
