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 carpet damage?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp spot forming on the carpet in my living room. The landlord hasn't addressed it yet, but I’m unsure if it’s something I should take care of myself or if it falls under their maintenance responsibilities. What should I do?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, indoor environmental quality and maintenance responsibilities can sometimes be ambiguous. When it comes to carpet damage from rainwater leakage, it's essential to consider a few factors before deciding on who is responsible.

Firstly, if you are renting your living space, the general rule of thumb often states that landlords are responsible for addressing structural issues like water leaks or dampness caused by external factors such as heavy rainfall. However, in your case, it’s crucial to check your lease agreement. Many rental contracts specify responsibilities and maintenance procedures.

If you find that the leak is coming from a common area or something outside of your apartment, then the landlord's responsibility kicks in. You should report this immediately to them so they can address the issue promptly. Dampness could lead to mold growth which is not only unpleasant but also harmful to health. In Dubai, regulations under the Real Estate Agency Law (Law No. 12 of 2008) require landlords to maintain properties in a good state of repair.

On the other hand, if the damp spot appears due to something within your living space such as an internal pipe leak or faulty window seals, you might be responsible for addressing this issue. Keeping your home well-maintained is also part of being a conscientious tenant.

Given the potential health risks associated with mold growth and considering the climate in Dubai, it’s highly recommended that you have a professional inspection done. Saniservice can help assess the situation. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how to proceed.

Remember, addressing dampness quickly is key to preventing further damage and ensuring indoor air quality remains at an acceptable level. Taking swift action will not only protect your health but also prevent costly repairs in the future.

In summary, while landlords are typically responsible for larger issues like rainwater leakage from outside, it's always best to err on the side of caution by reporting any signs of dampness and seeking professional help if needed.
