Should I clean the AC vents immediately?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it sounds like the dust storm we had last month has left its mark and now is the perfect time to address the issue. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's not uncommon for such storms to deposit a heavy layer of dust on various surfaces including your air conditioning vents. This can indeed affect indoor air quality which could be contributing to respiratory issues like coughing among children.

Given that you've noticed a thick accumulation especially around bathrooms and kitchens where moisture content is higher—these are areas more prone to mold growth as well—the urgency is high. Mold thrives in damp environments, and the presence of excessive dust can provide it with an ideal breeding ground.

I recommend scheduling a professional duct cleaning service immediately. This will not only help clear out the accumulated dust but also inspect for any signs of mold or other contaminants that could be affecting your home’s air quality. The Abu Dhabi Municipality and Dubai Municipality have specific regulations regarding indoor environments, which may require regular maintenance to ensure compliance.

While you're waiting for a professional assessment, consider these temporary measures:
• Regularly clean visible dust from vents with a soft cloth
• Ensure good ventilation in affected areas
• Use HEPA filters if your AC system allows

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial, especially with children’s health at stake. Don’t delay as it could lead to more serious issues down the line.
