Should I clean ducts professionally or DIY?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a layer of grayish-brown dust settling on surfaces in my living room, particularly around the vents. The air feels stuffy and doesn’t seem as clean as it should be, even with regular cleaning. Should I consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning or could this be handled by DIY methods?

Absolutely, the situation you're describing sounds like it calls for some thorough attention to your home's air quality. After such a dusty storm, it’s common to see dust accumulation, especially around vents and other openings. However, given how persistent and noticeable this layer of grayish-brown dust seems in your living room, it might be wise to consider professional duct cleaning.

In the UAE, particularly here in Dubai, regulations regarding indoor air quality are generally stringent to ensure public health. According to the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE), maintaining a clean environment within buildings is essential for overall well-being. Professional duct cleaners have access to advanced tools like vacuum trucks and specialized brushes that can effectively remove deep-seated dust and debris, which might be difficult to achieve through DIY methods.

DIY duct cleaning can certainly help in the short term if you just want to give your system a quick once-over. A good approach could involve using a powerful vacuum cleaner with attachments designed for small spaces, like your vents. However, for more thorough cleaning, you’ll need access to professional equipment and experience. The professionals at Saniservice can provide a comprehensive inspection and clean out any accumulated dust or allergens that might be affecting the air quality in your home.

Moreover, it’s important to note that regular maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial to keep indoor air as clean as possible. A professional cleaning should be done every 3-5 years, depending on how dusty your area is and how often you use your system. This not only improves comfort but also boosts the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems.
