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 cleaning common areas?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a layer of dust collecting on every surface in my living room, even though it’s right next to the main hallway where we keep our cleaning supplies. It’s been two years now, and I’m unsure if this is something the landlord should handle or if I need to take care of it myself since it’s so close to common areas. Should I be responsible for cleaning around here, or is that the landlord's job?

The responsibility for cleaning common areas such as hallways and living rooms adjacent to them can be a bit grey. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it is typically the landlord's obligation to maintain the cleanliness of communal spaces. However, there are instances where tenants might need to take a proactive approach.

Firstly, it would be wise for you to check your lease agreement. Many rental contracts outline responsibilities for both landlords and tenants regarding maintenance and cleaning tasks. If not explicitly stated, common areas like hallways and entrances should generally fall under the landlord's purview.

However, since your living room is right next to a main hallway where cleaning supplies are kept, it might seem practical that you occasionally help maintain its cleanliness. This can be seen as an effort towards good tenant-landlord relations and potentially avoiding misunderstandings or disputes later on.

If you find the dust accumulation is becoming a significant issue, I'd recommend having your area professionally inspected for any underlying issues such as air quality problems or structural concerns that might contribute to excessive dust. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer professional indoor environmental inspections and remediation services. You can call them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Additionally, if the dust levels are causing health concerns or if you have evidence that the cleaning is not being properly managed by your landlord, you might consider escalating the issue to your local real estate authority. The Dubai Municipality has various departments dedicated to ensuring building standards and environmental quality which could be contacted for assistance.

In summary, while it's generally the landlord’s job to keep common areas clean, maintaining a cooperative relationship with them is beneficial. If concerns persist or if you notice other issues, reaching out for professional help can provide peace of mind and address any potential problems effectively.
