Should I clean ducts due to dust concerns?« Back to Previous Page

Since we moved into our new apartment a few months ago, I’ve noticed a persistent dust build-up in the corners of the living room, particularly near where my children like to play. The air feels stale, especially after they've been running around, and it’s made me worry about their health. Given that we have small children who spend a lot of time on the floor, should I consider duct cleaning?

Absolutely, considering the dust concerns and the fact that you have small children spending lots of time on the floor, it would be wise to look into duct cleaning. In the UAE, especially here in Dubai, airborne particles from construction dust, allergens like pollen, and even mold spores can accumulate over time within the ductwork of your home. These particles could contribute significantly to the dust you're noticing and might affect air quality.

In Dubai, there isn't a specific regulation mandating regular duct cleaning but it's recommended especially for areas where there are high levels of pollutants or allergens. Given that children spend considerable time on the floor, their breathing zone is often close to these particles. It’s not uncommon for dust to settle in corners and other hard-to-reach places, making your cleaning efforts less effective.

A professional inspection could give you a clearer picture of how serious the issue might be. This includes assessing any visible dirt or debris, checking for signs of mold, and ensuring that airflow is adequate. If an inspection suggests that ducts are heavily soiled or if there's evidence of mold growth, it’s definitely time to consider cleaning.
