Should I clean my ducts for allergies?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we experienced last week, I noticed a strange odor lingering in my children's bedroom. The windows are clean, the carpet is vacuumed regularly, but the smell is persistent, especially when they play with their toys on the floor near the vents. My family has been experiencing coughing and sneezing lately, which makes me wonder if it could be from allergens trapped in our ducts. Should I consider having my ducts cleaned?

Absolutely, considering the recent dust storm and your family's respiratory issues, it’s definitely worth looking into duct cleaning for allergies. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, our climate can be quite harsh during certain seasons, leading to an accumulation of dust, mold spores, and other allergens within the HVAC system. These elements can certainly contribute to discomfort and exacerbate allergy symptoms among your family.
In Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating duct cleaning but it is highly recommended for homes and commercial buildings alike. Regular maintenance and cleaning help in maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ), which is crucial especially after dust storms. The persistent odor you mentioned could indeed be a sign of mold or mildew growth within the ducts, particularly if there was moisture present during the storm. When considering a duct cleaning service, it’s important to choose a reputable company that adheres to industry standards and uses appropriate equipment for deep-cleaning your system without damaging it. Look for a firm like Saniservice who specialize in this area and can provide a thorough inspection before any work is done.
