Should we address the persistent haze urgently?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the persistent haze and dust settling on your carpet and causing eye irritation is something that should be addressed. In Dubai and the UAE, air quality can fluctuate due to various factors like dust storms, which are common occurrences here.

Firstly, it's important to understand that the fine particulate matter (PM) you're noticing could include allergens, pollutants, or even traces of mold spores. Given the recent dust storms, it’s not surprising if your indoor environment has been compromised.

Here are a few steps you should consider:

1. Professional Inspection: It's advisable to get an inspection done by a professional environmental company like ours at Saniservice. They can assess the current air quality in your home and identify any potential sources of contamination, including mold which is more common after dust storms in this region.

2. Deep Cleaning: Engage in thorough cleaning of all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas under furniture. Use a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filters to capture small particles. Consider using microfiber cloths for dusting as they're effective at capturing fine particulates.

3. Air Purifiers: Invest in air purifiers that can filter out PM2.5 and smaller particles, as well as allergens. For best results, use models with activated carbon filters which are particularly good at filtering out odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

4. Ventilation: While it's crucial to ensure your home is clean, over-ventilating can worsen the situation if outside air quality is poor. Try to keep windows closed during dust storms but open them when PM levels drop.

5. Hydration & Eye Care: Keep hydrated and use artificial tears or eyewash solutions for relief from irritated eyes. This will also help reduce discomfort.

If you notice any signs of mold growth, such as discoloration on walls or musty odors, it's imperative to address that immediately. Mold can pose serious health risks and should be handled by professionals.

Remember, your indoor air quality is directly linked to the comfort and health of your family. If you're experiencing persistent issues, don’t hesitate to reach out for a professional inspection. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information or immediate assistance.
