How often should ductwork be cleaned?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a layer of dirt collecting on all our furniture, even though we clean weekly. It’s particularly bad in the living room near the vents. My kids have been complaining of stuffy noses and coughs, and now I’m starting to wonder if it’s related to the ductwork. Have anyone here experienced similar issues and know how often duct cleaning is recommended?

Hey there,
Ductwork cleaning is an important part of maintaining indoor air quality and can help reduce allergens and dust that might be making your kids' noses stuffy. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, where we experience varying weather conditions including those heavy dust storms, regular duct cleaning becomes even more crucial. The frequency of duct cleaning recommended by many professionals is typically every 3-5 years for residential properties. However, this can vary based on several factors such as how often you use your air conditioning system, the presence of pets or smokers in your home, and the overall dust levels in your environment. For instance, after a storm like the one we had last month, it might be wise to have an inspection done by a professional. In Dubai, regulations might not explicitly state when ductwork should be cleaned but it’s generally advised that you keep an eye on signs of buildup or if you notice increased allergies, coughs or other respiratory issues among family members. If this is the case, I’d recommend reaching out to a professional company like ours for an inspection and cleaning. We at Saniservice have seen firsthand how heavy dust storms can affect indoor air quality.
