How can I stop dust storms from coating my living room?« Back to Previous Page

Dust storms can indeed be pesky, especially for those of us living in the UAE. In Dubai and the surrounding areas, we are quite familiar with these occasional dust events that can leave behind a layer of fine sand on our furniture and shelves. However, there are steps you can take to minimize their impact.

Firstly, it's important to note that while the UAE doesn’t have strict regulations specific to dust storms, maintaining indoor air quality is still crucial for your health and comfort. Regular cleaning and preventive measures can help keep your living room looking fresh even after a storm.

One effective way to reduce dust accumulation is by using high-quality filters in your air conditioning units or installing an HVAC system if you don't have one. This can filter out airborne particles, including fine sand and dust, before they reach your indoor space. Consulting with a professional for installation might be wise as the right size and type of system could make a big difference.

Another tip is to invest in good quality furniture covers. These can protect your upholstery from dust, sand, and other outdoor elements. Make sure you use ones that are breathable so there's no build-up under them.

Regular maintenance of windows and doors also plays a key role. Check for any gaps or cracks where dust could slip through; using weather-stripping around door edges is one solution to prevent this.

Setting up a small air purifier in your living room can be beneficial, especially if you have smaller spaces that don't benefit from larger HVAC systems. These units are designed to capture fine particles and can significantly reduce the amount of dust circulating in the air.

Lastly, consider having a thorough inspection by professionals who specialize in indoor environmental quality. They might identify other sources of dust and offer tailored advice specific to your home's unique situation. You could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for such services if needed.

By taking these steps, you can greatly reduce the frequency and intensity of cleaning required after a dust storm in your living room.
