Should I clean kitchen ducts professionally?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the signs you're noticing could indicate that your kitchen ducts might need a thorough cleaning. Persistent damp smell and stuffy air even with AC on are red flags. In Dubai/UAE, especially post-rain events, humidity levels can exacerbate these issues.

The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for duct cleaning like some other regions, but maintaining clean and efficient ventilation systems is crucial to indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Dust, mold, and other allergens can accumulate in the kitchen ducts and get circulated through your home. This can affect air quality, especially if someone in the household is sensitive or has respiratory issues.

Considering your kids' recent complaints of coughing and sneezing, it's wise to address this sooner rather than later. Professional duct cleaning could be a sensible solution here. These experts use specialized equipment like vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters, which can remove not only dust but also microscopic particles that might have been causing the allergy-like symptoms.

Before you take action, it’s a good idea to call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 for an inspection. They offer services tailored for UAE environments and can provide a comprehensive assessment of your duct system's condition. If they find issues that need addressing beyond just cleaning—like mold growth—having them take care of it would ensure safety.

Additionally, regular maintenance might be recommended to prevent such situations in the future. Ensuring your HVAC system is properly serviced annually and checking for water damage or leaks around the kitchen area can go a long way.

Remember, keeping your home's air clean isn't just about comfort—it’s also about health. So make sure you take these steps seriously. Email hello@saniservice.com if you want to set up an appointment or need more information on their services.

Hope this helps!
