Does the AC Duct cleaning help really?
Before moving to the answer let us analyze the point 'why do we need to clean the AC duct?' NADCA ACR 13 recommends that HVAC system should be inspected by a qualified duct cleaning service provider annually or biennially depending on the type of facility. If your ducts are clean all the air that flows out from your ducts will also be clean. Prevention is always better than cure. Duct cleaning on a regular basis will remarkably enhance the air quality indoors and will allow you to relish the freshness and healthier ambience. It may be crippling to live with allergies, but one can definitely curtail the risk of exposure to hypersensitive causes that may lead you to exhaustion or suffer from allergic ailments When we take the case of Dubai, everyone uses air condition 24/7 during summer season and thus it is always advisable to clean your ducts with the help of qualified and certified air condition duct cleaners. Always keep in mind that the air passing through the duct is the air you and your family breath. Due to the hot and humid weather conditions in the Middle East 90% of the population often spends their time indoors. Because of the lack of natural ventilation and dust accumulation in the ducts and living space, it is seen that the pollutants in the air are 3-5 times higher than outdoors. Below are the benefits of AC duct cleaning:- BEFORE AFTER Indoor Air Quality Your heating and cooling system is considered as the lungs of your building. It is a system, which takes the air in and out. The habitual occupancy increases pollution inside such as dander, smut, chemicals. These contaminants pulled into the HVAC system circulate multiple times a day. As an extension to this re-circulation, contaminants accumulate inside the duct. Unclean ducts do not necessarily bring unhealthy air inside your home, school or workplace but it may lead to health issues or the accumulation of contaminants can cause serious problems to the respiratory system or autoimmune disorders. Save Electricity and boosts efficiency According to the survey conducted among AC cleaning service providers in Dubai, most of them claimed that 20 to 40 percent of the energy used for heating or cooling your home is wasted. System clogged with dirt, debris and dust pushes the AC compressor to work harder and longer increasing electric consumption and shortening the lifespan of the heating and cooling equipment. A clean Air condition system does not need to work hard to maintain the desired temperature and leads to cost-effectiveness. Protects the equipment If you keep the duct, cleaning as a part of your routine property maintenance this will extend the life of your system. Apart from these, the other benefits of AC duct cleaning are mold remediation, thermal comfort, reduced irritants, bacteria sterilization inside ducts and removal of unpleasant odors. Dust may get accumulated anywhere inside your living space: the sofas, furniture, bedding, floor , lights and so on. However, all these areas can be reached easily but the air duct cleaning needs help from professional AC duct cleaners because the duct is hidden behind your ceiling or walls, and A/C system is a mechanical system that needs mechanical skills.

Chandeliers are decorative home décor pieces. Whether your chandelier is made of a precious stone or crystal, it shines brighter when it is clean. Here are some tips for cleaning your chandeliers sparkling clean using cleaning materials that don’t build up and cause a haze on the designs. How often you should Clean the Chandelier Give your chandelier a thorough clean up at least once a year. Depending on where you live, you might have to clean it before a year is up because some chandeliers accumulate dirt a lot faster than others. You know your chandelier is ready for cleaning when it starts looking dull, dusty, and discolored. It takes some Thought Many chandeliers have intricate precious stone, crystal, and glass designs that might be difficult to clean. So take a moment to observe the structure of your chandelier before you set about cleaning. This will help you to come up with a practical plan for cleaning it without damage. Sometimes it may be possible or necessary to take it apart. But sometimes you might want to clean it where it is. The more fragile the chandelier is, the gentler you need to be. You can never be too careful. Clean the chandelier slowly and gently, piece by piece. If the chandelier hangs very high or is too intricate and fragile, you might need to contact a professional Chandelier Cleaning Service to get it done quickly and safely without damaging the chandeliers.

A stepping stool may help you reach the chandelier comfortably but may not be safe in order to clean it. You need an appropriate access equipment like a step ladder or at times even a scaffolding to reach to the chandeliers from all sides. Ideally, the chandelier should be at eye-level or very slightly above. See to your own safety. Lay cushions or a mattress around the area so that in case something falls down, it doesn’t break and you can just put it back. This should also help to protect your tabletops and other pieces of furniture from damage in case of a fall. Use the right fabric to do the cleaning. Using delicate fabric that does not leave build up on the chandelier will give you a better finish. Gloves will help you not to leave your fingerprints on the chandelier. Switch off the Power Whenever you are working with electrical installations, you have to be cautions. Always follow safety precautions.
