Duct cleaning in a neighboring apartment shouldn't directly impact your own. However, it's wise to keep an eye out for any changes in your indoor air quality or overall environment. The UAE has strict regulations on building maintenance and environmental standards that should help ensure your space remains safe.

If you're noticing unusual odors, dust, or other issues after the neighboring apartment was cleaned, it might be a good idea to have your ducts inspected by professionals. In Dubai, we often see high levels of particulates due to various construction activities, so regular maintenance is key.

You could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection. They can provide you with peace of mind and ensure that your air quality remains optimal. Even if everything seems fine now, it's always a good practice to have periodic checks.

Remember, keeping your ducts clean not only improves the air quality but also helps in reducing energy costs as the system runs more efficiently. If you decide to do so yourself, make sure to use certified contractors who follow the right procedures and standards set by local authorities like those found in the Building Code of Dubai.

In case you're curious about the regulations, the UAE General Authority for Standardization and Metrology (AGS) oversees a lot of these things. They ensure that all building systems, including HVAC, comply with national standards to maintain healthy indoor environments.

If you have any concerns or notice anything out of the ordinary, don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance. Regular maintenance can go a long way in ensuring your home remains a safe and comfortable space.
