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 duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust collecting on the inside of our balcony windows. The AC in my apartment seems to be pushing out more dirt than cool air lately. My landlord mentioned that the building has been undergoing some renovations but didn't specify if duct cleaning was part of the plan. Should I ask him about who is responsible for having the ducts cleaned, or is it generally something a tenant should handle?

Well, the topic of duct cleaning can be a bit dusty and tricky to navigate, especially considering the unique climate we experience here in Dubai. First off, let's address your concern about the dust on your balcony windows. It sounds like it might have something to do with the condition of the air conditioning system or perhaps even a combination of factors such as recent renovation works.

In the UAE, and particularly in Dubai, there are no strict regulations mandating who is responsible for duct cleaning - be it tenants or landlords. However, it's generally considered good practice for landlords to maintain the HVAC systems, including regular duct cleaning, especially after renovations which can stir up a lot of dust and debris from construction activities.

Regarding your landlord’s mention of building renovation, if that indeed includes duct work as part of the plan, it might be reasonable to expect them to handle this. But if there's no specific mention or assurance of duct cleaning being included in the renovation schedule, you may want to bring up the issue with your landlord directly. A clear communication can help clarify responsibilities and ensure that both parties are on the same page.

I’d recommend reaching out to your landlord to discuss the situation. You could ask for a detailed plan regarding maintenance activities post-renovation or even request an inspection from a professional HVAC service provider to assess the current state of your ducts. If you're uncomfortable with asking directly, consider having a conversation with a building manager or property owner association representative who can relay your concerns.

If the dust problem persists and you feel it's serious, I’d advise seeking professional assistance. You could call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a consultation from experts at Saniservice, a reputable company in Dubai known for their thorough duct cleaning services. They can provide an assessment of the air quality and recommend appropriate cleaning procedures to ensure your home remains fresh and healthy.

Remember, while dust on windows might seem like a minor issue, it could be indicative of larger problems within the HVAC system that need addressing sooner rather than later. Keeping your indoor environment clean is crucial, especially in our climate where allergens can be a real concern.

So, don't hesitate to take action if necessary and keep an eye out for those pesky dust bunnies!
