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 closet water damage?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed water seeping into the corner of my bedroom closet. The carpet smells musty, and there’s a small patch that feels damp to the touch. Given that we’ve been renting this apartment for two years, who is typically responsible for addressing such issues—me or the landlord?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, apartment maintenance and responsibility can sometimes be a bit murky. Generally speaking, if you've noticed water seeping into your closet and it smells musty, this sounds like a significant issue that should be addressed promptly.

Firstly, it's important to understand the local laws. In the UAE, including Dubai, tenants are usually responsible for maintaining the interior of their rental unit in good condition. However, if the issue is due to external factors such as leaking pipes or issues with the building’s infrastructure, this might fall under the landlord's responsibility.

Since you've only noticed this after heavy rain last month, it's reasonable to assume that there could be a plumbing problem or an issue within the building structure causing water intrusion. It would be wise to take a few steps:

1. Document the condition of the closet with photos and note down the date.
2. Inform your landlord about the situation as soon as possible. Provide evidence of the damage and explain how long it's been there.
3. If the landlord does not address the issue, you might want to consider contacting a professional building inspector or a tenant rights advisor for further guidance.

Given the musty smell and dampness in the carpet, this could indicate the presence of mold, which is a serious concern that can affect your health. It's advisable to have the area inspected by an expert as soon as possible. At Saniservice, we offer professional inspection services and remediation if needed. You can reach us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai’s climate. Prompt action will not only address the immediate issue but also prevent further complications such as structural damage to your apartment.

In conclusion, it's best to communicate with your landlord and consider professional help if you need it. Stay proactive about addressing this situation for both safety and legal reasons.
