Is duct cleaning behind furniture dangerous?« Back to Previous Page

We've been in our Dubai villa for about a year now and I just discovered what looks like duct cleaning behind some furniture. Is this dangerous and do I need to move out during treatment?

Duct cleaning behind furniture can be a bit of a mess but it's generally not dangerous. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we have some regulations around indoor air quality and maintenance that should be considered. If you've noticed signs of duct cleaning behind your furniture, firstly, make sure to clear out any dust or debris that may have been kicked up during the process.

If the area is clean and no one is showing symptoms like coughing, wheezing, or other respiratory issues, there's usually no immediate danger. However, it’s always a good idea to ensure the ducts are being cleaned by a professional who follows local guidelines such as those set by the UAE’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC).

In Dubai, if you suspect that the cleaning may have been done improperly or if you're concerned about your indoor air quality, it's recommended to call in a professional for an inspection. A qualified company like Saniservice can assess the situation and advise on any necessary remedial actions.

Remember, proper duct cleaning is essential for maintaining good indoor air quality. It helps remove accumulated dust, mold spores, and other allergens that can affect your health. For residents of Dubai, keeping up with regular maintenance checks can help avoid such issues in the future.

So, if you're unsure or if the situation seems out of hand, take a moment to contact 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for professional advice. They'll be able to guide you on next steps and ensure your indoor environment stays healthy.

In conclusion, while duct cleaning behind furniture isn't inherently dangerous, it's always best to err on the side of caution when dealing with your home’s air quality. Keeping things clean and regularly maintaining your system can go a long way in ensuring you and your family remain healthy in your Dubai villa.
