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 dryer ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a bit of mold growing behind the dryer vent in the utility closet. My landlord has been really busy with tenants moving in and out, so I’m not sure who is responsible for cleaning the ducts. Should this be my responsibility as a tenant, or does it fall under maintenance that the landlord needs to handle?

In Dubai/UAE, the responsibility for cleaning dryer ducts can be a bit ambiguous. Typically, landlords are responsible for maintaining the building's infrastructure and ensuring that all systems operate safely and efficiently. This generally includes the ventilation system which would include dryer ducts.

However, it is important to note that in many cases, tenants might be expected to maintain their own appliances, including dryers. If mold has been noticed behind the dryer vent in your utility closet, this could indicate a need for both cleaning of the ducts and potentially addressing any moisture issues within the dwelling.

In the UAE, there isn't specific legislation that mandates who is responsible for duct cleaning; however, the Health & Safety Law (Law No. 12 of 2005) requires landlords to ensure buildings are in a state of good repair and free from hazards such as mold growth.

Given the situation you described, I would recommend reaching out to your landlord first to discuss this issue. If they are busy or seem unresponsive, you could consider hiring a professional service for duct cleaning. Many companies offer services that can help remove not only visible mold but also deep-seated contaminants in dryer vents and ducts.

If you decide to go the professional route, it's important to choose a company with experience in indoor environmental quality and building sciences. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (hello@saniservice.com) are known for their expertise and can provide thorough inspections and cleanings. Their services include not only duct cleaning but also mold remediation which might be necessary in your case.

Remember to keep a record of any communication with your landlord regarding this issue, including dates and conversations. This can help ensure that you have a paper trail if the matter needs further discussion or resolution.
