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 ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a strange haze settling on all the furniture and windowsills in my bedroom. The AC unit in the hallway also seems to be running louder than usual and I’m worried about the ducts being so dirty. Am I responsible for cleaning the ducts in my rental apartment or is this something the landlord should handle?

Hey! Greetings from the Indoor Environmental Quality and Building Sciences team here at Saniservice.

In Dubai and the UAE, the responsibility for duct cleaning can vary based on the rental agreement you have with your landlord. Typically, it's a good idea to check your lease documents or agreements to see if there are any specific clauses regarding maintenance tasks like duct cleaning. If such details aren't clear or mentioned, it usually falls under the landlord's responsibilities as part of their duty to keep the premises in a safe and habitable condition.

However, there’s no harm in discussing this matter with your landlord first. It is possible that they might agree to have the ducts cleaned, especially if you’ve noticed signs like dust accumulation or increased noise from the air conditioning unit. Ducts can accumulate dust, mold spores, and other allergens over time, which could affect the indoor air quality and comfort level in your home.

In cases where cleaning is needed, it's advisable to engage a professional service provider for thorough duct cleaning. Here at Saniservice, we offer specialized duct cleaning services that not only clean but also inspect the system to ensure it’s functioning properly. Our team uses advanced equipment to remove debris and contaminants from the ventilation ducts safely.

If you're unsure or if your landlord is hesitant about having the ducts cleaned, consider calling our helpline at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional consultation. We can help assess the situation and provide recommendations based on your specific needs.

Remember that regular maintenance of HVAC systems, including duct cleaning, is crucial to maintaining good indoor air quality. This not only keeps your home cleaner but also improves energy efficiency by ensuring your system operates at peak performance.

Hope this helps! If you have any more questions or if we can assist with anything else, feel free to reach out.
