By now you’re probably pretty well-versed in the importance of duct cleaning. Now let’s get into the importance of adding in some sanitization magic!
What Is Duct Sanitizer?
Duct sanitizer is a powerful antimicrobial treatment specifically designed to target microscopic invaders lurking in your duct work. Ok, so that’s a pretty dramatic way to describe bacteria and mold, but you get the picture.
Unlike standard cleaning which removes dust build-up, duct sanitizing adds an extra layer of protection, making your indoor air healthier and safer to breathe. This treatment is a wonderful choice for households suffering from allergies or respiratory illnesses that can be exasperated by mold and bacteria.
Duct sanitizing also ensures a whole-home clean, targeting contaminants before they have a chance to circulate room to room.
Worried about extra costs? Don’t be! When you choose Modern Air & Water we include sanitization with your Brush or Powerwhip service.
Is Duct Sanitizing Safe?
Yes, absolutely! Duct sanitizer is tough on microbes, but gentle on us. Most sanitizers on the market today are EPA-approved and non-toxic when applied by our professional team. Let’s explore more about our process below!
