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 pays for duct cleaning in Dubai rentals?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from the vents in my bedroom. My landlord mentioned that duct cleaning is due every few years but didn't mention who was responsible. We’ve lived here for two years and just noticed this issue. Who typically handles duct cleaning in rental properties in Dubai?

Duct cleaning in Dubai rentals is typically the responsibility of the landlord. According to UAE laws and real estate regulations, landlords are required to maintain the property's systems including HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) which often encompasses ductwork cleanliness. However, this doesn't mean tenants should sit back; it's always a good idea for them to bring up any issues with their landlord.

If you've noticed a musty smell from your bedroom vents after the rain last month, this could indicate that moisture has been trapped within the ducts leading to mold growth. It is highly recommended that you get this checked out professionally. Mold can be harmful and its removal should not be taken lightly. A professional inspection and remediation service like ours at Saniservice would be able to assess the situation properly.

In Dubai, there aren't specific regulations mandating when ducts must be cleaned, but many property owners or landlords opt for regular cleaning every 3-5 years as a best practice. However, if you're experiencing issues such as unpleasant odors or suspect mold growth, it's wise to have them inspected sooner rather than later.

As a call to action, if you need assistance, we can help with an inspection and remediation service. Just give us a call at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or send us an email to hello@saniservice.com. Our team will be happy to assist you.

Remember, it's important that any work done is by professionals who are knowledgeable about indoor air quality and the proper techniques for duct cleaning and mold removal in Dubai properties.
