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 we notify landlord about mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the corner of my bedroom closet. My roommates and I are pretty sure it’s mold growing behind the wallpaper. We’re not quite sure about the responsibilities though—should we be handling this ourselves or should we notify our landlord? What would you recommend we do?

Absolutely, you should notify your landlord about the mold situation. In the UAE, including Dubai, there are certain regulations and responsibilities that come into play regarding maintenance and repairs, especially concerning health hazards like mold.

Firstly, it's important to know that mold growth in residential properties can pose serious health risks, particularly for people with allergies or respiratory issues. The musty smell you've noticed could be a sign of active mold colonies behind the wallpaper. Dubai’s Environmental Health Authority emphasizes regular maintenance and prompt action on any signs of water damage or mold.

While it's understandable to want to tackle this issue yourself, given the specific climate conditions in Dubai which can lead to higher humidity levels, it would be prudent to seek professional inspection first. This will help confirm if there is indeed mold and determine its extent. At Saniservice, we offer a free inspection service where our experts can evaluate your space and provide recommendations for remediation.

If you decide to proceed with a professional evaluation, simply call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an appointment. Our team will come by to assess the situation and determine if immediate action is necessary.

However, if you are not comfortable waiting for a professional assessment, there are steps you can take while waiting. Ensure proper ventilation in your room to reduce humidity levels which can encourage mold growth. Additionally, avoid touching or disturbing the area as this could spread spores throughout the space.

Remember, under Dubai’s Tenancy Law and the UAE Real Estate Agency Regulations, landlords have a responsibility to ensure that the property is safe and habitable for tenants. Thus, by reporting the issue, you are exercising your rights and helping maintain a healthy living environment.

In summary, while it might be tempting to clean up any mold yourself, given the potential health risks and legal obligations in place, a professional assessment is highly recommended before taking any action. Call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for expert guidance and solutions.
