Is duct cleaning linked to bedroom haze and symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a weird haze settling in my bedroom, especially during the night. My kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and coughing since then, even though we keep the windows closed. Could this be related to our ducts not being cleaned? What should I do?

Duct cleaning can indeed be linked to bedroom haze and the symptoms you're experiencing. The dust storms we've had recently have left an ample amount of particulates in the air, which could easily make their way into your ductwork if it isn't properly cleaned. When these particulates accumulate over time, they can circulate through your HVAC system, leading to a haze settling in your bedroom and causing issues like itchy eyes and coughing in your kids.

In Dubai, especially during such weather conditions, the importance of having regularly maintained ducts becomes even more critical. According to UAE building codes and environmental regulations, it's advised that you have a professional inspection done if you suspect that your indoor air quality has been compromised due to recent storms.

The buildup of dust in your ductwork is not just unsightly but can also be detrimental to your health. Inhaling these particles can cause or exacerbate respiratory issues, particularly for children and those with allergies or asthma. It’s crucial to address this issue promptly to ensure a healthier living environment for you and your family.

I would recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection by a professional company. They can assess the condition of your ducts, clean them if necessary, and provide tips on maintaining good indoor air quality moving forward. Remember that keeping your HVAC filters clean is also key in reducing dust and other allergens from circulating.

Taking these steps should help alleviate the haze and improve your family's comfort during these challenging weather conditions.
