After the sandstorm last week, I’ve noticed a layer of fine dust settling on everything in my living room—books, furniture, even the curtains. It’s barely noticeable, but it’s definitely there, and the coughing from my kids has only gotten worse since then. How urgent is this issue, and what steps should we take to address it quickly?

Cleaning up after sandstorms can be a bit of a challenge, especially in the UAE and Dubai where these events are frequent. The dust from recent storms has left a fine layer over everything in your living room—books, furniture, curtains—and it seems to have aggravated your kids' coughing.
Firstly, it's important to recognize that the UAE doesn't have specific regulations regarding indoor cleaning after sandstorms, but maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health. With dust levels increasing post-sandstorm, it’s wise to take action promptly to reduce allergens and improve air quality. Start by opening windows to allow fresh air in, if conditions permit, as this can help remove some of the fine particles. However, make sure to close them quickly once you notice a high level of outdoor dust. Using an air purifier that has a HEPA filter could also be beneficial for trapping small particles and improving indoor air quality. Next, clean the surfaces using a damp cloth or a soft brush to avoid stirring up more dust into the air. Pay extra attention to areas where your kids play, like the floor near their toys. You might want to consider wearing a mask while cleaning if you're sensitive to dust. If the sandstorm left a significant amount of grit and grime, it’s recommended that you hire professionals for a thorough clean-up. A company that specializes in environmental inspection and remediation could provide a detailed assessment of the situation and offer comprehensive cleaning solutions tailored to your home. For those looking for local expertise, companies like Saniservice are known for their professional services in Dubai. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need immediate assistance. Remember that quick action is key to minimizing the health impacts of sandstorms and keeping your indoor environment clean. By taking these steps, you should see a significant improvement in both air quality and the overall cleanliness of your home, reducing any discomfort caused by the recent storm. |
