Could regular duct cleaning help?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm, I noticed a lot of fine dust settling on our furniture even after cleaning. My children have started complaining of itchy throats and runny noses, and my partner is worried it might be due to dust mites in the ducts. We live in a high-rise apartment in Dubai and haven't had the ducts cleaned since we moved here two years ago. Have any of you noticed similar issues or know if regular duct cleaning could help?

Absolutely, regular duct cleaning can help alleviate the issues you're experiencing. In dubai and the UAE, dust storms are unfortunately quite common, especially during certain times of the year. These storms can kick up a lot of particulate matter which then finds its way into your home through the HVAC system.

In your case, it sounds like your symptoms could be linked to dust mites or other allergens that have settled in the ducts and been redistributed by your air conditioning system. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but many professionals recommend having them inspected and cleaned every 2-3 years for homes with central AC systems.

Dust accumulation can indeed harbor dust mites, mold spores, and other allergens. A thorough cleaning of the ducts can significantly reduce these irritants in your home's air. Plus, a clean system will also operate more efficiently, potentially saving you on energy bills.
