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 duties does a landlord have regarding duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust settling on everything in the living room. My landlord has mentioned that he takes care of most maintenance issues, but I’m not sure if duct cleaning is part of his responsibilities or if it’s my duty as a tenant to look into this myself. Could anyone share their experience with duct cleaning in Dubai and what typically falls under landlords’ obligations?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, duct cleaning is an important aspect of maintaining indoor air quality and overall comfort. Landlords typically have certain responsibilities regarding their properties but it can be a grey area when it comes to duct cleaning.

According to the Real Estate Agency Regulations issued by the Dubai Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), landlords are responsible for ensuring that the property is in good condition at the start of the tenancy and during its course. This generally includes maintaining common areas like hallways, stairwells, and shared spaces. However, specific tasks such as duct cleaning might fall under the maintenance responsibilities outlined in the lease agreement.

For tenants in Dubai, it's advisable to review your lease contract closely to understand what maintenance duties are expected of you versus what is the landlord’s obligation. If the lease does not specify, it's worth having a discussion with the landlord about who will handle duct cleaning and associated costs.

In general, regular duct cleaning (about every 3-5 years) can help improve air quality by removing dust, allergens, and other contaminants that accumulate over time. This is especially important in areas prone to sandstorms or dusty conditions like we experienced last month. Since the dust storm left your living room covered in debris, it’s clear how essential good indoor air quality is.

If you're unsure about who should handle duct cleaning, consulting a professional environmental inspection and remediation company can provide clarity on what's needed and whether your landlord has the responsibility to take care of this. At Saniservice, we recommend that tenants ask for a detailed quote from their landlord or schedule an inspection yourself if necessary.

Remember, keeping the air in your home clean is crucial not only for your comfort but also for allergy sufferers. With the right approach, you can ensure that your living space remains healthy and hygienic all year round.
