Is professional air cleaning necessary?« Back to Previous Page
|
The AC in my apartment seems to be stirring up dust and allergens whenever I turn it on, especially since we had some really hot days last week. My kid has been complaining about a stuffy nose, and I’m worried there might be more than just dust. Should I consider hiring professionals for air cleaning or is there an affordable DIY solution?

Cleaning the air in your apartment, especially after such hot days, is indeed important. The symptoms your kid has been showing – like a stuffy nose – can be related to dust and allergens stirred up by the AC unit. In Dubai/UAE, it's not uncommon for higher temperatures to lead to increased indoor humidity levels, which can contribute to mold growth and other airborne irritants.
In such situations, considering a professional air cleaning service is highly recommended. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality that your apartment must comply with, ensuring the health and well-being of its residents. According to the Environmental Health Regulations in Dubai, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially for families with children or individuals who have respiratory issues. However, if you're looking for a more budget-friendly approach before diving into professional services, there are some DIY solutions that can help alleviate the situation temporarily: Firstly, ensure your AC unit is properly maintained. Dust and dirt accumulation in the filters and coils can indeed cause re-circulation of allergens and dust particles. Regular cleaning or replacement of air filters every 1-3 months (or sooner if you live in a dusty environment) can significantly improve indoor air quality. Secondly, using an air purifier can be beneficial. In Dubai/UAE, there are various models available that can efficiently remove particles as small as pollen and dust mites from the air. A HEPA filter-equipped air purifier is particularly effective for this purpose. Lastly, increasing ventilation in your apartment can help reduce indoor humidity levels and improve overall air quality. However, be cautious during hot days when outdoor temperatures are high; it’s best to ventilate during cooler times of the day or use dehumidifiers if necessary. If you find that these DIY solutions do not sufficiently address the issue, or if symptoms persist, it might be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They can provide a comprehensive analysis and recommend appropriate remediation strategies tailored to your specific situation in Dubai/UAE. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to preventing respiratory issues and ensuring the health of all family members. |
