Should I clean air vents or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating in our air vents, especially in the living room. It’s starting to worry me because my kids have been complaining about coughing more often lately. Should I hire professionals for duct cleaning or is it something I can handle myself?

Absolutely, dust storms can indeed lead to an increase in airborne particles which might affect indoor air quality. In the UAE, especially during such weather conditions, it's crucial to maintain clean and healthy air for your household. The accumulation of dust in your air vents is a clear sign that it’s time for thorough cleaning.
Cleaning air vents yourself could be a cost-effective solution if done properly. However, given the specific regulations in Dubai, you should be aware of certain guidelines. For instance, the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) enforces standards to ensure that indoor environments are safe and free from pollutants. It's important to follow these protocols when cleaning your ducts. To start with self-cleaning, you could use a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter to suction dust from visible areas of the vents. However, this method might not be sufficient for removing deep-seated dirt or debris that may have accumulated in your ventilation system over time. Moreover, DIY cleaning can pose risks such as improper handling which could damage the ductwork. For a comprehensive and effective clean, I would highly recommend engaging professionals like those at Saniservice. They are equipped with specialized tools and techniques to thoroughly clean your ducts, ensuring that all contaminants are removed safely and efficiently. Their expertise aligns with local standards set by EAD, making them a reliable choice for this task. Besides the health benefits of cleaner air, professional cleaning can also improve the efficiency of your HVAC system. This could lead to cost savings on energy bills in the long run as your system doesn't have to work as hard to circulate clean air throughout your home. If you choose to proceed with a professional service, don’t hesitate to ask for references or check their credentials. Saniservice can be reached at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com.
