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 in rental property?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running a bit differently lately, and when I went into the bedroom closet last week, there was an odd dust cloud as I opened it. It’s only been a few weeks since Ramadan started, but I’m not sure if it’s normal for the cleaning to take this long or who is responsible for it in a rental property. Given that we have guests coming over soon, should I be doing anything about it myself?

Cleaning responsibilities for rental properties can sometimes be a bit blurry, but in the UAE and specifically Dubai, it's generally agreed that landlords are responsible for maintaining the overall cleanliness of the property. However, tenants do have certain obligations as well.

In your case, regarding the dust cloud you noticed in the bedroom closet, this might indicate some neglect or perhaps just the accumulation of dust during Ramadan when many people are preoccupied with festive activities and social gatherings. Typically, a landlord should be responsible for regular cleaning, but sometimes it's good to check if there were specific instructions about cleaning during the holy month.

Given that you have guests coming over soon, here are some recommendations:

Firstly, communicate with your landlord or property manager regarding the situation. It’s always better to discuss any concerns directly and find a solution together. If the issue is not addressed promptly, then it might be time for a professional inspection. In Dubai, there isn’t a specific regulation that mandates regular cleaning during Ramadan, but maintaining cleanliness can greatly enhance living conditions.

If you decide to take matters into your own hands before contacting your landlord, make sure to use appropriate cleaning products and methods to avoid any damage to the AC unit or other parts of the apartment. Be cautious not to overuse water in the closet area as it might affect the structural integrity of wooden furniture or walls.

Should the situation persist or if you notice other issues like mold growth or poor air quality, I strongly recommend getting a professional inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor environmental assessments that can help identify any hidden problems and provide solutions to ensure your apartment is safe and healthy for your guests.

Remember, keeping your apartment clean not only improves the living conditions but also helps in maintaining good relations with your landlord. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need assistance with professional cleaning or inspection services.
