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.

What are my rights regarding mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a moldy smell coming from the ceiling of my bedroom. My landlord hasn't responded to any of my emails about it, and I'm not sure if this is something I should be handling myself or if he's responsible for fixing it. Given that we've lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue, what are my rights as a tenant regarding mold in the property?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, tenants have certain rights and responsibilities regarding mold. Mold can be a serious issue, especially after heavy rains like you experienced last month. It's important to address this promptly to ensure your health and comfort.

First off, your landlord is responsible for maintaining the property in good condition. This includes addressing any issues that may lead to mold growth such as leaks or dampness from rain. Given that you've lived there for two years without noticing the moldy smell until now, it’s likely not a new issue created by recent rains alone.

However, if the mold has started to appear and your landlord is not responsive, you can take several steps:

1. Document everything: Take photos or videos of the affected area, including close-ups of the mold growth. Note down when you first noticed the smell and any other observations about the condition of the property.

2. Communicate with your landlord: Try to get in touch directly by phone if email has not worked. Be polite but firm about your concerns and request that they address the issue as soon as possible.

3. Seek a professional inspection: If you're unsure about what's causing the mold or how serious it is, consider hiring an independent expert for a thorough inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer such services and can provide detailed reports on the extent of mold damage and necessary remediation steps.

4. Know your tenant rights: According to the Real Estate Agency Law 2018 (Federal Decree-Law No. 17 of 2018), landlords must ensure that rental properties are safe, clean, and in good repair. If you find that mold is causing health issues or severely degrading the quality of your living space, you may have grounds to seek repairs or even consider moving.

5. Call for help: If you're unsure about what to do or need assistance, don't hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They can offer advice on next steps and ensure that your concerns are addressed.

Remember, while mold isn’t a common issue in Dubai’s climate, it does occur, especially after heavy rains. It's important to act quickly and seek professional help if needed to prevent further damage or health issues.
