Who is responsible for duct cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

Hello there,

The responsibility for duct cleaning can be a bit blurred sometimes. In the UAE and especially in Dubai, it is generally up to the landlord to ensure that the air ducts are cleaned regularly as part of maintaining a healthy indoor environment. This is not only because of the dusty conditions we have experienced but also due to local building codes and regulations which mandate landlords to keep their properties in good condition.

However, it's important to understand that if you've noticed a significant layer of dust on your vent grills after the recent dust storms, it might be wise to bring this matter up with your landlord. They should be aware of the potential health risks associated with poor air quality and the need for regular cleaning.

Typically, in Dubai, every 5-7 years is recommended for a thorough duct cleaning service. This helps remove accumulated dirt, dust, mold spores, and other allergens that can negatively impact your indoor air quality.

If you're not sure about what to do or if the landlord isn't responsive, i would recommend calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for professional advice. They are experts in this field and can provide a detailed inspection if necessary. You could also email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how to proceed.

Remember, clean air is crucial especially when we're dealing with such dusty conditions. Ensuring that your ducts are properly cleaned not only improves the air quality but also prevents potential health issues like allergies and respiratory problems.

So, while it's generally the landlord's responsibility, don't hesitate to take action if you feel it necessary. Your health and comfort should be a top priority!
