Should we clean air ducts after sandstorm?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorm that hit Dubai, I’ve been noticing a lot of dust collecting on the furniture in our living room, especially near the air vents. My kids have also been coughing more than usual, and it’s really concerning me. Have any of you noticed similar issues or should we be considering professional duct cleaning to ensure better indoor air quality for my family?

Absolutely, we should consider cleaning the air ducts after a sandstorm like the one that hit Dubai recently. Sandstorms can carry a significant amount of dust, debris, and even tiny particles such as pollen and other allergens which can quickly accumulate within our home’s air duct system. In the UAE, especially in regions prone to such weather events, it's crucial to maintain good indoor air quality for everyone's health.

In Dubai, post-sandstorm conditions can exacerbate respiratory issues due to increased levels of particulate matter in the air and possibly mold growth if moisture has been present. This situation is particularly concerning given your children’s recent coughing episodes.

I've noticed that many of my clients report similar issues after sandstorms. The dust from these storms tends to be more abrasive and heavy, making it easier for it to penetrate deeper into the ductwork, affecting air quality over time. A professional inspection can help identify if there is any significant build-up or potential mold growth.

For a thorough clean, I highly recommend contacting professionals like Saniservice. Their services are well-regarded in the UAE and they have experience dealing with post-sandstorm scenarios. They use specialized equipment to remove accumulated dust, sanitize the system, and ensure that your family can breathe easier.

You can reach them by calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or you might want to send an email to hello@saniservice.com for more detailed information or a quote.

Remember, maintaining clean air ducts is key not just after sandstorms but throughout the year in Dubai. Regular maintenance can help keep your home’s air quality at its best and reduce potential health risks for your family.
