Should I clean air quality myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a lot of fine particles settling on surfaces in my living room. My family has also been experiencing more frequent respiratory issues. The AC filters seem pretty dirty now but I’m not sure if that’s causing it or just a symptom. Should I hire professionals to check and clean the air quality, or is there an affordable DIY solution?

Absolutely, it's crucial to take indoor air quality seriously, especially after those intense dust storms. In Dubai and the UAE, we're no strangers to such weather conditions which can introduce a lot of particulate matter into your living spaces.

Firstly, yes, you should absolutely consider hiring professionals for an inspection. The UAE has strict regulations on indoor environmental standards, particularly in residential areas, ensuring that air quality is maintained at safe levels. These professionals will not only clean the AC filters but also assess the overall air quality and recommend any necessary remedial actions. For instance, they might suggest installing HEPA filters or a whole-house purifier to capture those fine particles you've noticed settling on surfaces.

DIY solutions can help in maintaining your home's air quality, but they're not always enough when there’s a persistent issue like the one you’re experiencing. Regularly cleaning your AC system and vacuuming with a HEPA filter are good start points. However, these measures might not be sufficient to tackle the particles that have settled or those introduced by dust storms.

If you decide to take it on yourself, ensure you use appropriate protective gear when handling dust and clean thoroughly but gently to avoid spreading more particles around. Remember, dusting can sometimes just push particles deeper into your HVAC system, so a thorough cleaning might be needed.

However, given the frequency of respiratory issues in your family, I’d highly recommend calling 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation service. They are well-versed with local regulations and can provide you with tailored advice to improve air quality in your home. Their expertise will ensure that not only the visible dust is addressed but also the underlying issues contributing to those respiratory problems.

In conclusion, while DIY efforts can be beneficial, for a comprehensive solution, professional help from companies like Saniservice is invaluable.
