Should I clean ducts after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm, we’ve noticed a persistent dusty smell lingering in the living room where our children spend most of their time. I’m worried about potential respiratory issues. The ducts run through this area, so I suspect they might be the source. Have anyone cleaned your ducts recently after such weather conditions?

Absolutely, after the recent dust storm, it's wise to consider cleaning your ducts. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, dust storms are a frequent occurrence and can leave behind a significant amount of particulates that may find their way into your HVAC system. These particles, when circulated through your home, could indeed cause unpleasant odors like what you're experiencing in your living room where your children spend most time.

According to the UAE's environmental regulations, it is mandatory for property owners and managers to maintain a healthy indoor environment. Given that your ducts run through this area and considering the persistent dusty smell, I would recommend having them professionally inspected first. This can help identify any specific issues or contaminants that might be causing the problem. If necessary, a thorough cleaning will not only remove dust but also reduce the risk of potential respiratory issues for your family.

It's good practice to have your ducts cleaned every 3-5 years in Dubai, especially after events like this dust storm. However, if you notice unusual odors or visible debris, it might be time for a more immediate clean-up. The technicians at Saniservice can perform a thorough cleaning that includes removing all the accumulated dust and debris from your ductwork, ensuring better air quality and reducing the risk of mold growth.

To schedule an inspection or cleaning, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Early action is key in maintaining a healthy indoor environment for you and your family.

Remember, clean air is crucial especially in areas prone to dust storms. Let's keep our home environments as dust-free as possible!
