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 hallway dampness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent damp smell coming from the hallway near our bedroom. The AC in our apartment seems to struggle with humidity, even though it’s been set on high. Given that we’ve lived here for two years and this is only now becoming an issue, who is responsible for addressing the indoor air quality?

The issue of dampness in hallways can be complex and might involve multiple parties. In the UAE, especially considering your location in Dubai, there are specific regulations and guidelines to follow. The Property Management Law 17 of 2003 outlines responsibilities for maintaining properties, which could include addressing such issues.

Firstly, it's important to consider whether this dampness is due to a structural problem or an HVAC issue. Since you've noticed the AC struggling with humidity, it might be worth checking if there are any maintenance or servicing gaps in your apartment's air conditioning system. Ensure that the filters are clean and that the unit is running efficiently.

However, if the AC isn't the primary culprit, then the responsibility shifts towards the building management or developer. According to the Property Management Law, developers are responsible for the initial state of a property including any inherent issues with waterproofing, insulation, and other materials that might lead to dampness over time. This is typically covered under the warranty period, which usually ends after 2 years of occupation.

Given you’ve lived here for two years and this issue has just surfaced, it’s highly probable that maintenance or structural aspects are at play. It's advisable to report this issue to your building management immediately. They should conduct a thorough inspection to determine if the dampness is due to an ongoing construction defect or a more recent issue such as plumbing leaks.

Should you feel that the problem isn't being adequately addressed, contacting a professional environmental inspection and remediation company like Saniservice could be beneficial. They can provide detailed reports on indoor air quality issues and offer solutions tailored to your specific environment. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS or via email at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health and comfort. Don’t hesitate to take action if you notice persistent dampness or other anomalies in your living space.
