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 fix the dampness and air quality issues?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a dampness in the corner of my bedroom that didn't seem to go away, even with constant use of the dehumidifier. The AC in the apartment seems to cycle on and off more frequently than before, which is unusual for this time of year. Both my partner and kids have been complaining about coughing and sneezing lately, and I’m worried it might be related to the air quality. Who’s responsible for addressing these issues—me or the landlord?

Based on the situation you've described, it seems that both the dampness and air quality issues could be linked to water intrusion which might require attention from your landlord. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, buildings are often designed to handle climate conditions but sometimes unexpected moisture can cause problems.

The UAE has strict building codes and regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) and moisture control, especially after heavy rains. According to the Building Control Regulations issued by the Department of Economic Development in Dubai, it's essential that buildings maintain a dry environment to prevent mold growth which can lead to respiratory issues and allergies.

Given your symptoms and the unusual behavior of your AC unit, I recommend scheduling an inspection by a professional service provider like Saniservice. They can assess whether there’s a need for water damage remediation or if the air handling system needs maintenance. A dehumidifier alone might not be enough to tackle these issues, especially since you're experiencing ongoing moisture and indoor health concerns.

In most cases, it's your landlord's responsibility to maintain the structural integrity of the property. If the issue is due to faulty construction or inadequate waterproofing, the landlord should address it. However, if the problem seems related to poor maintenance or operational issues like a malfunctioning AC, you might need to bring this up with them.

To avoid any delays in getting the situation under control, I strongly advise contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an immediate assessment. They have experience dealing with IAQ issues and can provide a clear plan of action.

Remember to document any changes in your health, the frequency of AC cycles, and any visible signs of moisture or mold. This information will be helpful when discussing the issue with your landlord or service provider.

Stay healthy and don't hesitate to seek professional help if conditions worsen.
