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 maintains ducts in a rental property?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange damp smell coming from the ducts above my bedroom. My landlord has never mentioned anything about maintenance or cleaning them, and it’s concerning since we’ve lived here for 2 years now. Who is responsible for checking and maintaining these ducts in a rental property?

Hey there,

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, duct maintenance is often the responsibility of the landlord. It's their duty to ensure that your living space remains safe and comfortable. However, it can get a bit tricky when it comes down to specifics like the ducts above your bedroom.

Firstly, you're not alone if you're concerned about damp smells after rain. A lot of properties in Dubai, especially those built near water bodies or facing weather changes, might experience these issues. The key here is communication with your landlord and knowing what to look out for.

In the UAE, there isn't a specific law mandating that landlords perform regular duct inspections and cleanings. However, as per the Real Estate Agency Regulations 2017, it's expected that landlords maintain their properties in good condition. If you notice persistent dampness or musty smells coming from your ducts, it might be wise to bring this up with your landlord. A simple conversation could resolve the issue - after all, a comfortable home is everyone's goal.

If your landlord isn't responsive or if the smell persists despite addressing it directly, you may need to consider calling in professionals. Here at Saniservice, we offer reliable duct inspection and cleaning services for residential properties. Our team can help identify any issues and provide the necessary solutions to ensure a healthy indoor environment.

In case of serious concerns, we recommend reaching out to us or another professional service provider. We're here to support you with our expertise. You can contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and more information.

Warm regards,
