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.

Who cleans moldy areas in rental?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of mold growing around the bathtub and shower curtain in my rented apartment. The AC seems to circulate that musty smell throughout the entire place, making it hard to breathe sometimes, especially at night when everyone’s trying to sleep. My kids have been coughing more than usual too. Who is responsible for cleaning these areas—me or the landlord?

Cleaning moldy areas in rental properties is an important matter especially after rain events like the one you mentioned. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, it's generally the responsibility of the landlord to maintain a safe living environment for tenants. However, there are some specifics worth considering.

Firstly, if you notice significant mold growth or any health issues related to it, such as your kids coughing more than usual, it would be wise to contact your landlord immediately. They should take action to clean and treat the affected areas promptly. If they don’t respond adequately, you can refer to UAE’s Property Law which outlines tenant's rights and responsibilities.

In Dubai, the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) provides guidelines for landlords regarding property maintenance. Under these regulations, landlords are required to ensure that the property is in a condition suitable for habitation upon lease commencement and throughout the lease term. Mold growth can pose health hazards especially for children and the elderly. Therefore, it’s important to address such issues quickly.

If the landlord does not take appropriate action or if you feel the situation isn't being handled adequately, consider reaching out to a professional environmental inspection and remediation company. For instance, Saniservice, which you might contact by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough assessment of the mold problem and offer safe solutions.

Remember that handling mold properly involves more than just cleaning; it requires removing sources of moisture, drying materials thoroughly, and using appropriate protective gear during remediation work. If left unchecked, mold can spread and cause further damage to your health or property.

In summary, while it’s initially up to the landlord to address mold issues, tenant cooperation is necessary in reporting problems quickly and ensuring proper treatment. Don’t hesitate to seek professional advice if the situation seems serious.

Always prioritize health and safety when dealing with such matters.
