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 is responsible for basement mold cleanup?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the basement area of my apartment. The landlord hasn't addressed it yet, and I'm not sure if cleaning up this moldy smell falls under my responsibilities or his. Have anyone else encountered similar issues? What did you do to resolve it?

Hello there! Mold cleanup can be quite the headache, especially in regions like Dubai where we often face humidity issues. In your case, dealing with a damp basement after rain can indeed lead to mold growth – and that’s no fun!

In most cases regarding real estate in the UAE, the responsibility for maintaining the property generally lies with the landlord. However, there are some specifics you might want to consider based on the terms of your lease agreement or local regulations.

Firstly, it's good to know that according to the Property Management Law 2017 (Federal Decree-Law No. 13 of 2017), landlords have an obligation to maintain the property in a safe and habitable condition for tenants. This includes addressing moisture issues like mold growth.

If your landlord isn't taking action, you might want to bring this up with them directly. Explain that the dampness is causing a moldy smell which could affect your health and comfort while living there. You can also remind them of their legal obligations under the Property Management Law.

However, if they're not responsive or you wish to take proactive steps yourself, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can help assess the extent of the mold problem and recommend appropriate remediation measures. They offer services including thorough cleaning, decontamination, and prevention strategies.

Cleaning up mold in your basement requires care. You should wear protective gear such as gloves, goggles, and a respirator to avoid inhaling spores. It’s also crucial to ensure proper ventilation during the process. If you find that the area is heavily affected, it might be necessary to replace damaged materials or use specialized products.

It's also advisable to document everything – take photos and keep records of your interactions with the landlord and any professionals involved. This can serve as proof should disputes arise.

Remember, if mold issues persist, they could lead to structural damage over time and pose health risks such as respiratory problems. Taking action sooner rather than later is recommended.

If you need help or have further concerns, don't hesitate to reach out. Saniservice offers a toll-free number: 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for any questions about mold remediation in Dubai and the UAE. You can also email them at hello@saniservice.com.

Stay safe and healthy!
