Should I clean apartment ducts myself or hire pros? Cost estimate?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning apartment ducts can be quite the task and often depends on how much dust is actually present. In dubai, our climate can lead to significant accumulations of particulates due to our location. After those heavy dust storms, it’s not unusual for such debris to find its way into your living space. However, whether you should clean them yourself or hire professionals really comes down to the amount and type of dust, as well as your comfort level with the job.

If the ducts are heavily soiled, I would recommend hiring a professional cleaning service. Professionals have access to specialized tools that can effectively remove all sorts of debris, including mold spores, allergens, and other particulates. In dubai, regulations do not specifically mandate regular duct cleaning for residential properties, but it’s still considered good practice in high-rise apartments like yours.

The cost for a thorough system cleaning will vary based on the size of your apartment and how extensive the work is needed to be. For an average 2 bedroom apartment in downtown Dubai, you could expect to pay anywhere from AED 1000 to AED 3000 or more. These prices may include both inspection and cleaning services.

DIY duct cleaning can save money but requires meticulous attention to detail. You'll need a vacuum cleaner with a long hose attachment, specialized brushes, and possibly some disinfectant solutions. Be prepared for a bit of elbow grease as you’ll have to clean the registers, return air grilles, and the interior surfaces of your ducts. It’s also important to ensure that you’re not compromising on safety or health by using the right materials.

If you do decide to go DIY, make sure to wear protective gear like masks and gloves, and clean each section thoroughly before moving onto the next part of the system. Remember, any dust removed from your ducts can still be reintroduced into your living space if not properly contained and disposed of.
