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 fixes dampness issues in a rental?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from my bedroom closet, and now it seems like the air conditioning unit is struggling to filter out the dampness. It’s been going on for a few days, and my kids have started coughing more than usual. Who typically takes responsibility for fixing these issues in a rental property?

In the UAE, particularly within Dubai, dampness issues and related indoor air quality concerns like those you're experiencing can be quite common following heavy rains. Typically, these issues are the responsibility of the landlord or rental property manager as per the tenant's rights outlined in the lease agreement.

Under the Real Estate Agency Regulations 2016, which governs residential leases in Dubai, landlords must ensure that properties are in a good state of repair and free from any defects that could affect their habitability. Dampness issues can definitely fall under this category as they can significantly impact both the comfort and health of the tenants.

If you suspect dampness or mold growth due to heavy rains last month, it is crucial to address these concerns promptly. Mold not only causes unpleasant odors but also poses serious health risks, especially for children who may be more susceptible to respiratory issues. The musty smell in your bedroom closet suggests that there might be some hidden moisture which could lead to mold growth.

Given the severity of the situation and considering it's been a few days since you noticed these changes, I strongly recommend scheduling an inspection with a professional environmental service provider like Saniservice. They can provide detailed assessments using advanced equipment to detect any hidden moisture or mold growth that might not be immediately visible. Their expertise will help ensure the air quality in your home is safe and healthy for all occupants.

If you decide to contact Saniservice, their helpline number is 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com. They are well equipped to handle such issues and will work with your landlord if necessary to rectify the situation.

In the meantime, make sure to keep good air circulation in your home by opening windows when possible (being cautious of external factors like traffic fumes) and use a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels. Also, ensure that any wet areas are dried quickly after exposure to water to prevent mold growth.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is not just about comfort but also about health, so taking action now will be beneficial for you and your family.
