Why won't the BBQ smoke odor go away?« Back to Previous Page

The BBQ smoke odor persisting could be due to several factors. Firstly, the high humidity levels typical of Dubai can trap odors within your home, making it difficult for them to dissipate naturally. Additionally, if there's a pressure difference between inside and outside due to wind or air conditioning settings, this might also contribute to the smell lingering in certain areas like near the windows.

Another possible cause is inadequate ventilation systems. In many buildings here, especially older ones, mechanical ventilation may not be properly installed or maintained, leading to poor air circulation that traps pollutants such as smoke particles and odors. Dubai's Building Regulations 2019 mandate specific standards for ventilation in buildings, so it would be wise to check if your home meets these requirements.

To tackle this issue, start by ensuring all windows are fully opened and allow a cross-ventilation of air. Use fans or an air purifier to help move the air more effectively through your space. However, depending on the severity of the situation, you might want to consider professional services. We at Saniservice offer comprehensive inspections to identify any underlying issues with your ventilation system that may be contributing to this problem.

Moreover, consider using activated carbon or HEPA filters in your air purifier as they are effective in capturing smoke particles and odors. Regular cleaning of these filters is essential for their performance. If the smell persists despite these measures, it might indicate a more serious issue such as a mold growth which can occur after water intrusion. In this case, a professional inspection could be necessary to rule out any health hazards.
