Could cleaning ducts help my children's allergies?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a layer of dirt settling on our furniture and even the walls. My kids have been complaining of persistent coughs and runny noses, and I’m worried it might be due to the dust in the air from the ducts. The kitchen exhaust duct is located right above my children’s bedroom. Have any of you experienced similar issues or know if cleaning the ducts could help with their allergies?

Absolutely, cleaning the ducts could significantly help your children's allergies. Dust and allergens from the dust storm can indeed settle on furniture and walls, but they can also circulate through your home’s air system, especially if there is a leak or poor maintenance in your ductwork. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience sandstorms which can introduce a significant amount of particulates into indoor spaces.
In our region, it's common for building owners to overlook regular duct cleaning due to the hot climate and lack of visible dust. However, this doesn't mean that hidden dirt isn’t accumulating inside your ducts. The kitchen exhaust duct located above their bedroom could be a source of allergens as grease and food particles can collect there over time. In my experience, we've seen a direct correlation between poor air quality in homes and increased allergy symptoms among residents. By having the ducts cleaned by professionals, you can reduce the amount of dust, mold spores, and other irritants that are circulating through your home’s air system. This not only helps with allergy symptoms but also improves overall indoor environmental quality. I recommend reaching out to a reputable professional for an inspection first. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive duct cleaning services which comply with local regulations. They have experience dealing with the specific climatic conditions of our region and can advise on whether your system needs more frequent maintenance or if there are any underlying issues that need attention. Once you've had a professional inspection, if they recommend duct cleaning, it’s best to do so as soon as possible. After the dust storm, it's crucial to address these potential sources of allergens. Regular maintenance is key in preventing future issues.
