Is cleaning vents safe for allergy relief?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and wheezing, especially in my kids' room. The vents seem quite dirty and dusty, but I’m not sure how to proceed with cleaning or if it’s even safe. Have anyone here dealt with similar issues and what did you do?

Cleaning vents is indeed a step towards allergy relief but it's vital to approach this task carefully and professionally. In the UAE, especially during the aftermath of dust storms, the air quality can plummet, leading to an increase in allergens like dust mites and pollen. This has been observed after the recent dust events we've had.
Dust and debris in your vents can definitely contribute to respiratory issues, particularly for children. While it might seem straightforward to clean them yourself, there are some important points you should consider. First off, UAE regulations do require that certain cleaning procedures follow specific guidelines to ensure safety and effectiveness. Self-cleaning could potentially spread dust throughout the air, making conditions worse until the dust settles. A professional approach is highly recommended for your situation. A company like Saniservice in Dubai offers a range of services including duct cleaning which can help mitigate the allergens that might be causing those coughs and wheezes. Their technicians are trained to use specialized equipment and methods to clean your ventilation system without risking further contamination. Here's what you could do: 1. Contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. 2. The inspection will help identify the extent of the problem and ensure that all areas are thoroughly cleaned using appropriate techniques. 3. Following the cleaning, a thorough airing out period is necessary to allow your home to settle before moving in again. Remember, when dealing with allergens, it’s not just about cleaning but also about managing your environment. Consider investing in air purifiers and maintaining good indoor hygiene practices such as regular vacuuming and washing of bedding. By taking these steps, you can help improve the overall indoor environmental quality which might provide some relief to your family's respiratory issues. |
