Should I clean vents or hire a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust on the vents in my son’s room. We’ve lived in this apartment for two years now, and I’m starting to worry about the air quality, especially with my kids around. The ducts haven’t been cleaned since we moved in. Have anyone else experienced similar issues or should I hire a professional to clean them?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring professionals for duct cleaning. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial due to our climate and environment. After those heavy rains last month, it’s understandable you're concerned about the dust buildup. In fact, I’ve seen similar issues with clients who haven’t had their systems cleaned in a while.

According to the UAE standards for HVAC (Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems, it's recommended that ductwork be inspected and cleaned every 3-5 years. This is especially important if you've experienced water damage or have moisture concerns like you did after the rains. The dust and debris can harbor mold spores, bacteria, and other allergens which are particularly harmful to children.

Given your son’s room has seen a noticeable layer of dust on its vents, it's quite possible that the ducts could be contaminated with mold or other pathogens. A professional inspection is recommended to ensure no hidden dangers exist. Professionals have the right equipment to safely clean and disinfect the ductwork, ensuring air quality remains optimal.

If you do decide to go for a professional service, I highly recommend calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or emailing hello@saniservice.com. These companies are well-respected in Dubai for their expertise and can give you a thorough inspection followed by a cleaning that meets the highest standards.

Remember, poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. Keeping your home clean and free from harmful elements is key to maintaining a healthy environment, especially with children around. Don't hesitate to take action now to ensure better air quality for you and your family.

Take care and breathe easy!
