After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, we’ve noticed a persistent odor lingering in our living room. The vents are quite close to where my children spend most of their time playing. Given how long it’s been present, I’m worried about any potential allergens or harmful particles being circulated through our home. Could you advise on the best way to clean the ducts to ensure it's safe for my family?

Absolutely, cleaning the ducts after a dust storm is indeed crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring your family's health. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience dusty conditions due to regional weather patterns and sandstorms. These events can introduce a variety of particles into your home’s ventilation system.

Given that you've noticed an odor lingering in the living room near where your children play, it’s definitely wise to consider duct cleaning as a priority. The persistent smell could indicate the presence of dust, mold spores, or other allergens that might be circulating through your home's air. Since these can pose health risks, especially for young children and those with allergies or respiratory issues, taking action is important.

In Dubai, following local regulations such as those outlined in the Environmental Health Regulations by the Department of Economic Development (DED) ensures compliance with best practices. It’s recommended that you seek professional assistance from a company like Saniservice who are well-versed with UAE-specific guidelines and can provide thorough duct cleaning services.

Professional inspection is particularly important here because they have specialized equipment to detect and remove allergens, bacteria, and other contaminants that might not be visible but could affect your family's health. These experts will also ensure the integrity of your ventilation system during the process, minimizing disruptions to your daily routine.
