Can cleaning ducts resolve dusty smells and allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last spring, I noticed a persistent dusty smell lingering in my bedroom, especially when the air conditioning was turned on. My partner has been complaining of stuffy nose and itchy eyes since we moved into this apartment about 2 years ago, but it seems to have gotten worse recently. Could cleaning the ducts help resolve these issues?

Duct cleaning can indeed help resolve dusty smells and allergies. In Dubai and the UAE, dust storms are common, especially during spring months. These storms can lead to a significant accumulation of particulate matter within your home’s ductwork, which could be contributing to the persistent dusty smell you're experiencing in your bedroom.
When air conditioning is turned on, this accumulated dust gets circulated around your living space, making the issue even more noticeable. It's not uncommon for people in new apartments or those who have recently experienced dust storms to experience stuffy noses and itchy eyes due to these particles. Professional duct cleaning can remove a substantial amount of this debris, helping to reduce such symptoms. According to local regulations in the UAE, while there aren't specific laws mandating regular duct cleaning, maintaining clean air ducts is crucial for indoor environmental quality. The Dubai Municipality often recommends that homeowners and building managers consider professional duct cleaning services, particularly after major weather events like dust storms or sandstorms. It's important to note though, that if your family members are experiencing severe symptoms, it might be wise to seek a professional inspection first. Allergies can sometimes be more complex than just dust particles and may require additional treatment beyond simply cleaning the ducts.
