Should I clean ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating in my bedroom vents. The AC filter was covered with it, but there’s still an odor that lingers even after cleaning everything. My kids have been complaining about coughing and sneezing more than usual too. Should I consider professional duct cleaning to prevent this from happening again?

Absolutely, the dust storm you experienced last month could easily have left its mark within your home's ventilation system. Accumulated dust can indeed lead to discomfort for your family and even trigger respiratory issues, especially among children or those who are more sensitive.

In the UAE and particularly in Dubai, it is not uncommon for such events to create a significant amount of particulate matter that can settle deep inside ductwork. The odor you're experiencing could be due to microbial growth, which thrives in damp environments often created by poor air circulation. This isn't just unpleasant but can also affect your family's health.

Professional duct cleaning is highly recommended for several reasons:

1. Thorough Cleaning: Professionals have the right tools and techniques to remove deep-seated dirt and debris that household vacuum cleaners or manual methods cannot reach.
2. Health Benefits: By removing allergens, dust mites, and mold spores, you can significantly improve indoor air quality, potentially reducing allergy symptoms and respiratory issues in your home.
3. Prevention of Deterioration: Regular cleaning helps prevent the buildup of materials that could damage your HVAC system over time.

In Dubai, it's important to follow local regulations which might require certain standards for indoor environmental quality checks. A professional inspection can help ensure that all aspects of your ductwork are up to standard and not contributing to poor air quality.
