How often should we clean ducts to avoid dust clouds?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorms hit Dubai, we’ve noticed a persistent dust cloud coming from the vents in our living room. The smell is faint but concerning, especially given that my children spend most of their time playing near those vents. We’re worried about potential health risks and allergens. Could someone advise on how often we should have the ducts cleaned to ensure it’s safe for everyone?

Duct cleaning is a crucial aspect of maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring the health and comfort of your family. In Dubai/UAE, given the environmental conditions like sandstorms which are quite common, it's indeed necessary to address this issue promptly.

Firstly, according to local regulations and standards, ductwork should be inspected at least once every three years for residential properties. This periodic check-up helps in identifying any issues such as dust accumulation or blockages that could lead to health concerns. However, given the recent sandstorms you've experienced, it might be prudent to have your ducts cleaned sooner rather than later.

The persistent dust cloud coming from vents is not ideal and can indeed pose health risks, particularly for children who are more susceptible to allergens and irritants. The faint smell could indicate that there's an accumulation of contaminants or mold growth within the ductwork which requires immediate attention.

I recommend scheduling a professional inspection with our team at Saniservice. Our experts will thoroughly examine your system and clean it as needed, ensuring your family is breathing safe air. We offer services tailored to Dubai’s climate conditions and can provide peace of mind knowing that your home environment is free from dust and potential allergens.

For immediate relief, we suggest using a high-efficiency air purifier in the living room where your children spend most of their time. This can help filter out larger particles before they reach sensitive areas like their lungs. Regular maintenance of HVAC systems with routine cleaning is key to maintaining indoor air quality throughout the year.
