Could duct cleaning reduce my son's coughing?« Back to Previous Page

Duct cleaning could definitely be beneficial for reducing your son's coughing. The accumulation of dust and debris within the air ducts can indeed contribute to indoor air quality issues that might affect respiratory health, especially for those who are sensitive or have allergies.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it’s not uncommon to experience high levels of particulate matter from dust storms, which can make their way into your home's HVAC system. The supply vents you noticed in your son’s room could be a good indicator that there is significant dirt and allergens circulating throughout your home. Regular duct cleaning helps remove these particles, thus reducing the amount of irritants such as dust, pollen, and mold spores that can enter your living spaces.

Dust storms are particularly problematic because they bring with them not just dust but also other pollutants like pollen from trees, grass, and weeds; animal dander; and even bits of insect parts. All these can worsen respiratory conditions, especially in children or individuals who already have allergies or asthma.

It’s recommended to get a professional inspection first to assess the severity of the issue. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive duct cleaning services that comply with local regulations such as those set by the Health Authority-Abu Dhabi (HAAD). Professional cleaners use advanced equipment and techniques to thoroughly clean your ductwork, ensuring no residue is left behind.

However, it’s not just about cleaning the ducts; maintaining good indoor air quality involves other steps too. Ensuring that your HVAC system is properly maintained, using HEPA filters in your AC units, and keeping your home free of dust are all crucial. Additionally, regular vacuuming with a high-efficiency filter can help reduce indoor allergens.

If you do decide to proceed with duct cleaning, be sure to choose a reputable service provider who follows best practices. At Saniservice, we recommend scheduling this during the spring or early summer before pollen season peaks, but it’s also worth considering after major dust storms like the ones you mentioned.

Remember, while duct cleaning can significantly improve indoor air quality, it’s just one part of a broader strategy to maintain good health during allergy seasons and after dust storms.
