Should we clean ducts professionally due to dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, after the recent dust storm it’s wise to consider duct cleaning. The UAE often experiences such weather conditions that can kick up a lot of debris and dust, which then settles within your home's HVAC system and ductwork. This accumulated dirt and particles can indeed contribute to allergic reactions, particularly in children who are more susceptible.

In Dubai and the UAE, it’s advisable to have professional inspection and cleaning done. The local building codes may not always explicitly mandate regular duct cleaning but it is highly recommended for maintaining indoor air quality, especially following events like dust storms. Professionals will use specialized equipment that can effectively remove deep-seated dirt and mold spores that might be missed with DIY methods.

DIY solutions often fall short in thoroughness. Household vacuums typically don’t have the suction power needed to clean deep within ductwork. Plus, if your kids are sneezing more than usual, it’s a sign that there could be irritants in your air.

We recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an inspection and cleaning service. They’ll assess the condition of your system and provide tailored recommendations based on their experience with local conditions. Remember to also check the credentials and certifications of any company you hire – look for those that are accredited by reputable organizations.

Regular maintenance, like this post-dust-storm clean, can help ensure healthier air in your home. Don’t wait until symptoms worsen; proactive steps now will keep everyone more comfortable as temperatures rise and dust settles in again during the upcoming months.
