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 dampness issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the bedroom where the children sleep. It's not a bad smell exactly, but it's definitely concerning. Given that we're renting and haven't had any issues like this before, should I be responsible for ensuring that area is properly dried out or is it something the landlord is supposed to handle?

When you noticed dampness in the bedroom where the kids sleep, it's understandable to be concerned. In Dubai and the UAE, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining a safe living environment that includes addressing water damage and ensuring proper ventilation and drying out of any affected areas. However, as a tenant, it is also important to take some proactive steps.

Firstly, you should definitely contact your landlord or property manager as soon as possible to inform them about the dampness issue. The UAE’s Building Code (UAE Federal Law No. 17 of 2003) mandates that landlords ensure properties are in a safe and habitable condition. If they do not address the problem, you may have grounds for making a complaint or seeking legal advice.

However, given the recent rains, it's possible this issue could be temporary and simply requires some basic steps to be taken care of. Ensure the area is well-ventilated by opening windows if weather permits. Use dehumidifiers to help reduce moisture in the air. Additionally, check for any leaks or signs of water intrusion that might need immediate attention.

It's also advisable to keep an eye on the situation over a few days and document your observations through photos or notes. If after a reasonable time (say 2-3 days) the issue persists or worsens, you should definitely seek further assistance.

In such cases, it would be prudent to consider having the area inspected by a professional. Companies like Saniservice can provide environmental inspections that will identify the source of moisture and recommend appropriate remediation steps. Their services are handy and can help ensure your children’s health is not compromised.

Remember, when contacting Saniservice, you can reach out via their hotline 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for more information on how to proceed.

In conclusion, while landlords have a responsibility to address such issues, as the tenant, staying informed and taking proactive steps is crucial. If your landlord does not respond appropriately, don’t hesitate to seek professional help.
