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 clean AC filters after a dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that swept through Dubai last week, I’ve noticed a persistent haze in my living room window. The AC filter is visibly dirtier than usual, and it seems like the sand got inside despite having closed all windows. Given that we are renting our apartment, whose responsibility should it be to clean or maintain the filters during such events?

Hey there,

When it comes to cleaning AC filters after a dust storm, the responsibility can be a bit tricky. In the UAE and especially Dubai, it's generally the tenant who is responsible for maintaining the air conditioning system, including changing or cleaning the filter. However, this doesn't mean that the landlord isn't obligated to ensure proper operation of the unit.

Given the recent dust storm in Dubai, I'd recommend checking with your rental agreement first. Many landlords will have clauses specifying what you are expected to maintain and what they take care of. If it's not mentioned, it’s a good idea to discuss this with them and make sure both parties are on the same page regarding maintenance.

Typically though, filters should be inspected for dust storms or any other severe weather conditions. It would be wise to give the AC filter a thorough cleaning or replacement if necessary. A dirty filter can reduce air flow, increase energy consumption, and potentially cause strain on your system. This is where having a professional inspection might come in handy.

In Dubai, it's not uncommon for dust storms like the one you mentioned to kick up significant amounts of sand and debris. Even with windows closed, some fine particles can still find their way inside. Regular maintenance by tenants helps ensure that the air quality stays high and the system operates efficiently.

If you notice persistent issues or if the filter becomes excessively dirty despite your best efforts, it might be time for a professional inspection and cleaning. At times like these, calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) can provide you with expert advice on how to proceed or even schedule a service call from Saniservice at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, keeping your AC system clean is not only about maintaining good indoor air quality but also about preserving the lifespan of your unit. A quick check and cleaning might save you some money in the long run by preventing costly repairs down the line.

Hope this helps!
