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 water-damaged areas as a tenant?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a layer of dust and mildew starting to form on the shelves in my coworking space. It's located in the living room corner, right next to the window where water sometimes leaks during heavy showers. The air feels stale and stuffy even with the fan running. Who is responsible for cleaning this area—me as a tenant or does it fall under the landlord’s maintenance duties?

In the UAE, particularly within Dubai's coworking spaces, it can sometimes be blurry as to who is responsible for maintaining and cleaning certain areas. In your case where a water-damaged area has emerged due to leakage from a window, this situation requires some attention to ensure both your comfort and safety.

Firstly, under UAE property laws, landlords are typically responsible for the structural integrity of the premises which includes fixing leaks and ensuring that the building is in a safe condition. However, if the issue you're facing relates more to the day-to-day maintenance such as dust and mildew, this can sometimes fall on tenants depending on your lease agreement or specific conditions set by the landlord.

In your instance, given that the area has been affected by water leakage, which creates an environment prone to dust and mildew growth, it would be advisable for you to notify your landlord immediately. This ensures they are aware of the situation and can take necessary steps to prevent further damage and ensure your health isn't compromised due to mold.

However, if your landlord is slow or unresponsive, as a tenant in Dubai, you might have some rights under local laws which allow you to make reasonable repairs yourself provided that you do not breach any terms of your lease. You could then seek reimbursement from the landlord for these costs after the work has been completed and approved by a professional.

It’s also important to note the climate in Dubai can lead to quick mold growth, especially in areas with water damage. Therefore, it might be wise to address this issue promptly to prevent further deterioration of your workspace. If the situation is worsening or you're uncomfortable handling it yourself, consider hiring a professional environmental inspection and remediation company like Saniservice for a thorough assessment.

Remember, maintaining good air quality is crucial for productivity and health in workspaces. So, if you notice any signs of poor air quality alongside the dust and mildew, don't hesitate to take action or seek expert advice.
