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 persistent damp smell coming from the ducts in our hallway. It’s only been two weeks, but it seems odd to me that this would be happening. Our landlord hasn’t mentioned anything about cleaning the ducts, and honestly, we’re unsure who is responsible for this maintenance. Shouldn’t the landlord take care of it since it’s a rental? Who typically handles duct cleaning in Dubai, and what should I do if I think it needs attention?

Hey there,

Duct cleaning can indeed be a tricky issue, especially when it comes to rentals. The responsibility for duct cleaning often depends on the local laws and agreements within your rental contract. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the general rule is that landlords are responsible for major maintenance issues such as ductwork cleaning. However, you should check your specific lease agreement or consult a lawyer if you're unsure about who's supposed to handle this task.

If you've noticed persistent damp smells after rain, it could be an indication of mold growth within your ventilation system. Mold can thrive in damp conditions and isn't something you want to ignore. In Dubai, there are strict health regulations regarding indoor air quality, so addressing this issue promptly is key.

Typically, professional companies like Saniservice handle duct cleaning. They offer comprehensive services that include deep-cleaning the entire HVAC system, which can help eliminate mold and reduce damp odors. You should consider contacting them for a thorough inspection and cleaning if you're concerned about your indoor environment's quality.

If the smell persists or worsens, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for immediate assistance. They can provide expert advice on what steps to take next and ensure that your air ducts are cleaned properly according to UAE standards. Remember, a clean and healthy indoor environment is crucial for maintaining good health.

In the meantime, you might want to take some basic measures like improving ventilation in your home or using dehumidifiers to prevent mold growth until you can get professional help.

Hope this helps!
