After the recent dust storm, I’ve noticed a lot of fine dust settling on all the furniture and decorations in the living room. My children have been complaining of itchy eyes and a persistent cough too. Has anyone else experienced this after such storms? Are there any specific cleaning products or methods you recommend for maintaining luxury items without causing allergic reactions for family members?

Dust storms can indeed lead to allergy issues and increase the amount of dust settling on furniture and decorations. In Dubai and the UAE, such storms are a common occurrence during certain times of the year. The fine particulate matter they bring can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals like your children.
Firstly, it's important to note that according to local regulations in the UAE, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial for public health. However, when dust storms strike, it becomes even more critical to take proactive measures to protect both the quality of your home environment and the well-being of its inhabitants. To tackle this issue effectively, I recommend a few steps you can take: 1. Regular Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth or duster to gently remove dust from surfaces. Microfiber is particularly effective as it traps dust without spreading it around. For delicate items like paintings or furniture, use a soft brush to avoid damaging them. 2. Humidifiers and Air Purifiers: Consider using a humidifier in the living room. High humidity levels can help reduce static electricity, which helps prevent dust from accumulating on surfaces. An air purifier with a HEPA filter can also be beneficial for removing fine particles from the air that might cause allergic reactions. 3. Dedicated Dusting Times: Set aside specific times each week to thoroughly clean your living space. This helps maintain cleanliness and reduces the need for constant cleaning. 4. Professional Inspection: If you're concerned about the quality of indoor air or suspect mold growth, it's wise to call in a professional environmental inspection service. In Dubai, you can contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for such services. Remember, maintaining luxury items while ensuring your family’s health is paramount. By following these steps, you can keep your living room looking pristine without compromising on the well-being of your children.
