Should I clean ducts myself or hire pros? Cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a lot of debris and a faint dusty smell lingering in my living room vents. The carpets haven't been cleaned in years, but this seems like it could be worse. Should I just clean everything myself or should I consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning? What can typically be expected to cost in Dubai for a thorough job?

Cleaning ducts yourself can be a daunting task, especially considering the dust storms and debris that have been kicking up recently. In Dubai, due to our climate and sandstorms, it's quite common for vents to accumulate significant amounts of dust and other particles. However, given your situation with the carpets not being cleaned in years, I'd recommend considering professional duct cleaning.

Professional duct cleaners use advanced tools and techniques designed specifically for this purpose. They can remove deep-seated dirt, mold spores, and other contaminants that are hard to reach and clean manually. This thoroughness is crucial as it helps ensure a healthier indoor environment by reducing allergens and improving air quality.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality. Ensuring your ducts meet these standards can help maintain compliance with local building codes. A professional inspection can also reveal any potential issues that might not be visible to the naked eye, like hidden mold growth which is a common concern in our warm and humid climate.

As for costs, a thorough job typically ranges from AED 1000 to AED 2500 depending on factors such as the size of your home, the extent of the ductwork, and any additional services you may require. This includes cleaning and sometimes disinfecting or sanitizing the ducts.

To make this process easier for you, I’d suggest reaching out to companies like Saniservice who are experienced in these areas. They offer a range of services including air quality testing and remediation if necessary. Their contact details: Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, while DIY methods can be cost-effective, they may not provide the same level of cleanliness and safety as professional services. A clean home is a healthy home, especially with all the dust and debris that have been kicked up lately.
