Cleaning or Sanitizing Air Ducts

How is it different than Air Duct Cleaning?

What’s the difference between a standard air duct cleaning and sanitizing the ducts? A standard air duct cleaning removes any debris from your ductwork such as dirt or drywall dust. The sanitizing adds the disinfecting and deodorization of the ductwork of your home while killing any mold or mildew hiding inside. In addition, it prohibits bacterial, viral, and fungal growth for approximately six months when applied.

Why Should You Get Your Air Ducts Sanitized?

With COVID-19 and quarantines, scientists have been learning about how the virus spreads. Air quality is vital, but with germs, bacteria, and viruses, they can trap within our homes from droplets via sneezing and coughing. The air that circulates through our homes can contaminate and we may not know it until it’s too late.

And the more we learn, the more we can tackle the issue at the source—our air circulatory system. Stop the spread of bacteria, pet dander, dust mites, pollen, microorganisms, mold/fungi and more by disinfecting your air ducts.

You’ll have peace of mind and breathe easier knowing you’re doing everything you can to keep your home environment safe.
