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 water seepage in rental?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in the corner of my bedroom, right next to the wall where water seems to seep through. It’s been there ever since, and it’s really starting to worry me. My landlord has always said that issues like this are my responsibility, but I’m not sure if that’s fair. Could someone give me some advice on who typically handles these kinds of problems in a rental?

When water seeps through the walls of your rental property, it can indeed cause some serious concerns, especially regarding indoor air quality. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, these issues are governed by specific regulations and guidelines to ensure tenant safety and comfort.

Firstly, it's important to understand who typically handles such matters. According to local laws, landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of a rental property. This includes addressing water seepage issues, which can lead to dampness and mold growth—both major concerns in terms of indoor air quality. If your landlord insists that these are your responsibilities, it might be worth checking if this aligns with local regulations.

In Dubai, for instance, the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) sets out standards for landlords to maintain properties in a habitable condition. Under RERA's guidelines, landlords must ensure there is no structural damage and any water-related issues should be promptly addressed by them. However, if you have signed a rental agreement that explicitly states otherwise, then it might vary.

Given the situation described, where you've noticed a damp smell persisting in your bedroom, I would strongly recommend getting this issue inspected professionally. Many properties in Dubai can experience such problems due to varying climatic conditions and construction materials. A professional inspection can help identify the extent of water damage and recommend appropriate remediation steps.

Contacting a certified environmental inspector or a company specializing in indoor air quality assessments could be beneficial. For instance, companies like Saniservice offer services that include mold testing and air quality analysis. They operate under strict guidelines set by local health authorities to ensure that their work complies with UAE standards.

Remember, leaving issues unaddressed can lead to more serious problems down the line, including potential health risks from mold growth or structural weakening of your property. Therefore, it’s crucial to act promptly and seek expert advice.

If you're unsure about how to proceed, consider reaching out to local tenant rights organizations for guidance on navigating these situations. They often have resources and information that can help clarify responsibilities and offer support in resolving disputes with landlords.

Lastly, if the issue is not resolved satisfactorily through direct communication or by seeking professional assistance, it may be advisable to consult a lawyer specializing in real estate law in Dubai. Legal advice can provide you with options on how to enforce your rights as a tenant.

In summary, while landlords are typically responsible for addressing water seepage issues, it’s always wise to get these checked out professionally and ensure they align with local regulations. Don't hesitate to contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need immediate help.
