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 my landlord fix air quality issues in apartment?« Back to Previous Page

After a particularly dusty week here in Dubai, I noticed that the air quality in my apartment feels really off. I live on the top floor of a building in Jumeirah, and it seems like the dust is settling everywhere—especially in the living room and kitchen. I’ve been wiping surfaces daily, but it keeps coming back, and I'm worried about the effects on my family's health. Since I’m in a rental, should my landlord be responsible for addressing the filtration system or cleaning the ducts, or is that something I have to handle myself?

The concern you've raised about air quality, particularly after a dusty week in Dubai, is valid and warrants attention. Dust storms can significantly impact indoor air quality, especially in high-rise buildings where dust can infiltrate through windows, doors, and even ventilation systems.

In terms of responsibility, it's important to look at the lease agreement you have with your landlord. Generally, landlords are responsible for maintaining common areas and ensuring that the building's systems, such as HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), are functioning properly. If your apartment has a central air system, the landlord should ideally address any filtration and duct cleaning issues. The UAE's laws, particularly those outlined in the Dubai Tenancy Law, suggest that landlords must provide a habitable living environment, which includes maintaining air quality.

However, if your lease doesn't specify responsibilities regarding air quality, you may need to handle some aspects yourself. You can take immediate measures to improve your living conditions. Regularly clean surfaces, but also consider using HEPA filters in your vacuum cleaner and air purifiers to capture dust particles effectively.

If the air quality issues persist or if you notice health effects such as respiratory problems, it’s advisable to seek a professional inspection of your apartment's air quality and ductwork. A certified environmental inspection company can identify potential sources of contamination and recommend appropriate remediation measures.

In Dubai, you can contact a local expert such as SaniService. They offer professional mold and air quality inspections. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Taking proactive steps now can help safeguard your family's health and ensure a comfortable living environment. Don't hesitate to communicate with your landlord about these issues; they may not be aware of the severity of the situation.
