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 landlord fix mold behind cabinets?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a bit of mold growing behind the kitchen cabinets in my rental. I'm not sure if it's my responsibility to clean this up or if the landlord should handle it. Given that we've lived here for two years and this is the first time I’ve seen anything like this, am I correct in assuming the landlord should address it?

Absolutely, landlord should address the mold behind the cabinets. In UAE, including Dubai, landlords are responsible for maintaining the structural integrity and healthiness of their rental properties. This includes ensuring that any moisture issues leading to mold growth are properly addressed.

Firstly, given the circumstances, it's essential to take immediate action against mold growth. Mold can pose serious health risks, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions. In Dubai, regulations under the Dubai Municipality Building Control Department require landlords to ensure properties remain in a safe and healthy condition throughout tenancy.

If you're unsure about how to proceed, I strongly recommend contacting professional environmental inspection services like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or by emailing hello@saniservice.com. These experts can assess the situation accurately and provide guidance on necessary remediation steps.

However, if you'd rather handle it yourself initially, here are some practical tips:

1. Prevent Spread: Before taking any action, ensure that no one else in your household accidentally comes into contact with or inhales mold spores. Keep the area isolated as much as possible.
2. Safety Gear: Wear appropriate protective gear such as gloves, a mask, and goggles to avoid skin irritation or respiratory issues while handling mold.
3. Cleaning Supplies: Use a solution of water and mild detergent, or a mixture of one cup of bleach per gallon of water (this is more effective against mold but check local regulations before use). Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage surfaces.
4. Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in the area while cleaning to prevent the spread of mold spores. Open windows if possible or use a fan.

Remember, if you find significant mold growth or if symptoms related to mold exposure persist after remediation, it’s crucial to consult with an environmental health professional.

Ultimately, landlords are expected to maintain their properties in good condition, including addressing water damage and subsequent mold issues. Always keep communication open with your landlord regarding any concerns to ensure swift resolution.
