How often should we clean apartment ducts?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a significant increase in allergies and sneezing among the family. The air vents in our second-floor apartment seemed unusually dirty, with visible dust accumulating inside. Given that this is our third winter here, how can I ensure proper duct cleaning to prevent these issues from recurring?

Cleaning apartment ducts is crucial to maintaining the indoor air quality, especially given the recent dust storms we've experienced. In dubai and the UAE, the frequency of duct cleaning can vary based on a few factors but typically, it's recommended every 3-5 years for most homes. However, in areas prone to frequent dust or sand storms like yours, you might consider more frequent cleanings.

Given that your family has been experiencing allergies post-dust storm, it would be wise to have the ducts inspected by a professional company such as ours here at Saniservice. Our team can assess the current state of your ductwork and determine if immediate cleaning is necessary.

We recommend using our services for a few reasons:
1. UAE Standards: We comply with local building codes and environmental standards, ensuring that our practices are up-to-date and effective.
2. Expertise: Our technicians have extensive experience dealing with environments similar to yours and can identify potential issues beyond just the visible dust.
3. Safety Measures: Given the current climate, we take extra precautions to ensure your safety during the cleaning process.

If you decide to proceed without professional assistance, here are some tips:
• Ensure all family members, especially those who suffer from allergies or asthma, stay out of the areas being cleaned.
• Use a HEPA filter mask if dust is visibly present and heavy.
• Keep windows closed to avoid introducing more dust into your living space.

Remember, regular maintenance can greatly reduce allergens and improve overall air quality. If you suspect that the ducts are heavily contaminated or if your family continues to experience symptoms despite cleaning efforts, it's important to contact a professional for thorough inspection and remediation.
