Should I clean ducts due to odor?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it sounds like you might want to consider getting your ducts cleaned. In the UAE, especially during such weather conditions as heavy dust storms, it's quite common for indoor environments to accumulate a significant amount of particulate matter and other contaminants that can cause unpleasant odors and affect air quality.

In Dubai, the local climate can exacerbate these issues due to frequent sandstorms and high humidity levels. Given your concern about potential health effects on your children in their living room, it's wise to take action. A thorough inspection and cleaning of the ducts could significantly improve indoor air quality and reduce those odors you've noticed.

Remember that in Dubai, there are no strict regulatory standards specifically for duct cleaning as there might be elsewhere, but adhering to best practices can ensure a safer and healthier home environment. I recommend engaging with a reputable company like Saniservice who have experience serving the local market. They can provide a professional inspection and tailored solutions based on your specific needs.

Once you’ve decided to proceed, make sure to ask about their cleaning methods and the equipment they use. They should be using HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters for capturing fine particles that may pose health risks. After cleaning, it's also a good idea to have them check if there are any signs of mold or other issues that could arise from moisture accumulation.

If you're not sure where to start, consider calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for guidance on selecting the right service provider. Alternatively, email hello@saniservice.com with your concerns and they can offer a consultation over the phone or in person.

Taking these steps will not only help address the current odor but also prevent future issues related to poor air quality.
