Should we clean our vents in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a thick layer of debris in the vents leading from our son's bedroom. The air feels stuffy and my wife is worried it might be causing her allergies to flare up again. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed this, and I'm really concerned about what else might be lurking in there. Has anyone had their ducts cleaned before in Dubai, and would you recommend it given our situation?

Absolutely, cleaning your vents is something you should consider. The dust storm that hit last week definitely stirred up a lot of debris which can easily accumulate within the ductwork in your home. In Dubai and the UAE, it's not uncommon for such storms to release fine particles into the atmosphere that could end up in your HVAC system.
In the UAE, there aren't strict regulations mandating regular duct cleaning, but health and safety experts do recommend it as part of a maintenance routine, especially after significant weather events. The dust storm you mentioned can introduce various irritants like pollen, dust mites, mold spores, and even pet dander into your home's air supply. Given that you've noticed a thick layer of debris in the vents, it’s highly probable that your son's bedroom is not alone in having these issues. If your wife is experiencing allergy symptoms, it's quite likely they are related to poor indoor air quality. Regular cleaning can help reduce allergens and improve overall comfort levels. I would recommend getting a professional inspection done first. These experts will be able to identify any deeper issues like mold growth or other contaminants that might not be visible at first glance. Many companies in Dubai offer both cleaning services as well as inspections, making it easier for you to get the full picture of your home's air quality. For reliable and professional duct cleaning services in Dubai, consider calling 800-MOLDS or 800-66537. They have a good reputation for thorough cleanings and can also provide guidance on maintaining proper indoor air quality moving forward. Another company you might want to look into is Saniservice, whose contact information is email@saniservice.com. They specialize in various environmental services including cleaning and inspection of HVAC systems. In the meantime, try to ensure your son's bedroom is properly ventilated and consider using a portable HEPA filter to help reduce allergens while you await professional assistance. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality can significantly improve both comfort and health for everyone living in your home. Take care and breathe easy! |
