What is duct sanitizing?
Duct sanitizing is a treatment applied to the inside of the ductwork once the dust and debris have been brushed and vacuumed out. Your Neighbor's Air Care offers it on request as the last step of a full air duct cleaning. The cleaning removes what has built up in the ducts; the sanitizing treats the clean surfaces that are left. Households usually ask for it when they want more than clean ducts, for example after moving into a home with an unknown history.
Why does Your Neighbor's Air Care sanitize only after cleaning?
A sanitizer sprayed into a dusty duct lands on the dust, not on the duct. The layer of debris shields everything underneath it, and the next time the system runs the treated dust blows into the rooms anyway. So Your Neighbor's Air Care always works in this order:
- A camera look inside the ducts, so you see the starting point
- Every supply and return run cleaned with rotary brushes under a negative-air machine
- Registers and grilles washed
- The sanitizing treatment applied to the cleaned ductwork
- Photographs and footage of the cleaned runs, sent to your phone
If a company offers to sanitize your ducts without cleaning them first, it is skipping the part that does the work.
When is duct sanitizing worth asking about?
Sanitizing is worth asking Your Neighbor's Air Care about in situations like these:
- You have just moved into a house and do not know what the previous household put into the air
- The previous owners smoked indoors
- There are dogs or cats in the house, or there were before you moved in
- A renovation has finished and you want the ductwork as clean as it can be
- The ducts smelled stale before they were cleaned
For most homes with no special history, a thorough cleaning is the part that matters, and the crew will tell you so rather than add something you do not need.
What does duct sanitizing not do?
Your Neighbor's Air Care is straightforward about the limits. Sanitizing is not a substitute for cleaning, and it does not repair a duct that is crushed, torn or disconnected. It is not a medical treatment, and Your Neighbor's Air Care makes no health promises for it. It also has nothing to do with the furnace or the air conditioner: Your Neighbor's Air Care cleans and treats the ductwork, and does not service heating or cooling equipment. If you have a question about the product that will be used, ask on the call before the visit is booked.
How does sanitizing fit into a visit from Your Neighbor's Air Care?
It happens on the same visit as the cleaning, straight after it, so there is no second appointment. Mention on the first call or WhatsApp message that you want the ducts sanitized as well as cleaned, and it is included in the free quote, so you see the whole job before any work starts. The before and after footage covers the cleaned runs the treatment was applied to.
How do you book air duct cleaning with sanitizing?
Call or send a WhatsApp message to Your Neighbor's Air Care, say how many heating and cooling systems the house has, roughly how many supply and return runs, and that you would like sanitizing added. The free quote follows before any work starts. Open from nine in the morning until nine at night, seven days a week, in English, Ukrainian, Russian, Georgian or Czech.
