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 ceiling water spots?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed water spots forming on the ceiling of my bedroom. My landlord hasn't done any maintenance checks since moving in two years ago, and I’m unsure if it’s my responsibility to clean or inform him about it. Should I bring this up with him, or is there something I can do myself?

In the UAE, specifically Dubai, the responsibility for addressing ceiling water spots can be a bit cloudy. Generally speaking, landlords are usually responsible for maintenance and repairs to ensure that your living space is safe and habitable. However, there's no one-size-fits-all answer here.

Firstly, you should consider whether these water spots have appeared since moving in or if they've been present from the start. If it was before you moved in, it might be considered a pre-existing issue. But, given that heavy rains occurred recently and your landlord hasn't done any inspections for two years now, it's possible that the water intrusion is recent.

It would be prudent to bring this matter to your landlord’s attention. You can do so by sending an email or a letter explaining the situation in detail. This way, you have a record of when you brought the issue up and what exactly you reported. Mentioning the recent rains and how they might have caused the water spots could help your case.

However, if the landlord is unresponsive or dismissive, it's important to consider contacting professional services. In Dubai, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a free inspection and advice on how best to proceed.

Inspecting yourself might also be an option if the spots are minor and not causing any health concerns. Use protective gloves and goggles, and wear a mask when dealing with moisture and possible mold growth. Clean the affected area using a mild detergent solution and thoroughly dry it out. It's crucial to ensure that any water intrusion is completely dried or else you may face further issues such as mold growth.

Remember, in Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding building maintenance and safety standards, so staying on top of these can be key. If the issue becomes persistent or if you notice other signs like musty odors, peeling paint, or health concerns, a professional inspection is highly recommended to ensure that your living space remains safe.

Taking action now could prevent bigger issues down the line, and it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to indoor environmental quality.
