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 handle closet smell?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the bedroom closet. My roommates and I have discussed it, but we’re unsure if it’s our responsibility to address or if the landlord should handle it since this is a rental property we’ve only been in for two years. We are all working adults with busy schedules and don’t want to overstep. Could someone advise on what typical cleaning responsibilities are for high-occupancy spaces like ours?

Hey there,

First off, it's completely understandable that you're wondering about the responsibility for addressing the musty smell in your closet. In Dubai and the UAE, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the premises in a safe and habitable condition. However, the specifics can vary, so let's break this down a bit more.

If the smell is coming from a part of the property that you're using (like your bedroom closet), it might be worth reaching out to your landlord first. Most rental agreements will outline what each party is responsible for, but if yours doesn't mention anything specific, it could still be helpful to clarify this with them.

In Dubai and the UAE, building codes and regulations emphasize maintaining good indoor air quality. If the smell persists despite your best efforts at basic cleaning, it might be a sign of a deeper issue that requires professional attention. This is especially true if the smell seems to be coming from areas like walls or floors where mold could potentially grow.

If you're not sure how to proceed, it's always a good idea to call in professionals for an inspection. At Saniservice, we can help with such issues. We offer mold testing and remediation services that are specifically tailored for residential properties like yours. Our team will come by, assess the situation, and provide recommendations on what needs to be done—whether it's cleaning or more extensive repairs.

If you decide to go this route, make sure to document everything: notes about when you first noticed the smell, any actions you've taken so far, and the results of your communication with the landlord. This can help in case further discussions are needed.

Remember, maintaining a healthy living environment is important for everyone's well-being, especially given how long we spend indoors nowadays. So, if the smell continues to bother you or affects anyone’s health, don’t hesitate to take action.

Hope this helps! If you need any more advice, feel free to reach out.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance.

Best,
[Your Name]
