Air Duct Cleaning
IAQ or Indoor Air Quality, in simple words, is the quality of air that we breathe inside buildings and facilities. At present, for most Malaysians, information about the importance of cleaning the air ducts is still in its infant hood. We are still not fully aware about the fact that unclean air ducts are one of the many probable sources of dust particles that exist in the ducts. Impurities may also enter our living spaces from activities like cleaning the room floor or furniture with chemicals, painting walls or smoking. Certain companies often go for lesser prices offered by some cleaning services and ignore what type of solutions and machinery the service providers, that they hired, are using. If the service team uses harmful chemical solutions and an improper way to clean up the ducts, it would end up adding more toxins inside the facility and the Indoor Air Quality will not improve even after paying for the services.
What is Duct Cleaning and why is it important?
To improve the IAQ, we need to clean the ducts because dirty ducts, as they gather dust over time, contribute to poor indoor air quality leading to a cluster of health issues.
Duct cleaning is the removal of mold, debris, dust, and dirt that is found inside the ducts. Dirty ducts continue to circulate dust, allergens, and other debris throughout the building, which may cause respiratory problems and other forms of sickness. Most of us spend 8-12 hours, depending on the nature of work, inside buildings daily, which is why it is even more important to ensure that the air inside is as clean as possible.
When should you get the air ducts cleaned?
It is a must to have the air ducts in the offices cleaned every year, especially in a country like Malaysia since the country has a humid weather 24/7 and 365 days and other toxic matter in the air ever year like haze. Poor air quality within the facility is often cited as the biggest source of sickness building syndrome or SBS. An article published in, The Star on 29th January 2020 also stated that SBS is a situation where more than 20% of the occupants in a facility complain about the air quality or having persistent symptoms like eye or nose irritation, fatigue or dizziness. This shows the importance and value of duct cleaning.
