Air Duct Sanitization in St. Louis
Air duct cleaning, or the removal of large particles and dust from your air ducts is only the first step in creating a clean and safe living environment for your family in your home. Another very important part in this process is duct sanitization.
Why Your Air Ducts Need Sanitizing
The moisture that can build up in your ductwork, cooling coils, drip pans, and humidifiers due to a combination of poor sealing and condensation creates an ideal environment for the growth of many dangerous microorganisms. The following is a list of some of the microorganisms that can be found in your heating and cooling system and ducts:
- Bacteria
- Mold
- Mildew
- Fungi
- Yeasts
- Dust mites and their feces
Following an air duct cleaning, St. Louis Air Duct Cleaning and HVAC Service Company recommends the application of a sanitizing fog to all ductwork to sanitize and remove any remaining debris from mold, allergens, dust mites and other microorganisms. This fog will act as a barrier to prevent the regrowth of these dangerous microorganisms as well.

Air Duct Sanitizing: Reduce In Home Allergens
Air duct sanitization is especially recommended for adults and children who suffer from both indoor and outdoor allergies. This process can be completed as often as once a year to control and minimize the growth and spread of allergens that can become trapped in your ventilation system such as mold, fungus, and dust mites.
St. Louis Air Duct Cleaning and HVAC Service Company strongly recommends that air duct sanitizing spray be applied to the ventilation system when moving your family into a previously occupied home. This can eliminate odors and allergens left behind from the previous owners. Air duct sanitization is an especially important process if the previous owners smoked in the home or had pets.
