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 should address the mold issue?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corner of my bedroom, which gets worse whenever there’s condensation on the windows. The carpet underneath that area is looking a bit moldy too, but I’m not sure if it's my responsibility to clean or if the landlord should be addressing this. Can anyone advise what I should do?

It sounds like you've got a bit of an issue there. When you notice dampness and mold, it's crucial to address the situation promptly to prevent further damage and potential health risks.

In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, landlords are typically responsible for ensuring that the property is maintained in good condition, which generally includes addressing any water-related issues such as leaks or condensation. However, it’s important to check your lease agreement to see what responsibilities you and your landlord have regarding maintenance.

Firstly, I’d recommend taking some preliminary actions:
1. Document everything: Take photos of the moldy carpet area and note down when you first noticed the issue.
2. Inform your landlord: Send a formal written notice (email or letter) to your landlord detailing the problem. Keep copies for your records.
3. Prevent further damage: Ensure that areas are well-ventilated, and consider using dehumidifiers if necessary.

If the mold situation persists or worsens, it might be wise to seek professional assistance. In Dubai, there’s a specific set of regulations and guidelines concerning indoor environmental quality, as outlined by the Dubai Municipality and the UAE’s Building Code. These codes emphasize the importance of proper ventilation, moisture control, and regular inspection.

Given the seriousness of mold, I’d advise you to contact a professional for an inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive inspections and remediation services that comply with local standards. Our experts can assess whether the dampness is due to a leak or another issue and recommend appropriate solutions.

To get in touch with us, you can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an appointment. Remember, early intervention is key to preventing further issues and ensuring the health of your home environment.

Taking these steps will help you navigate the situation effectively and ensure that your living space remains safe and comfortable.
