Are cleaning products effective against hidden allergens?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense summer heat this week, my kids have been complaining of itchy eyes and a persistent cough. The air feels thick with dust, especially in our living room where we spend most of our time. Given how long we’ve lived here, I’m concerned about any hidden allergens or mold growth due to the humidity. Could anyone give me advice on what cleaning products or methods are best for such symptoms?

Are cleaning products effective against hidden allergens?
Cleaning products can be quite helpful in managing hidden allergens and improving indoor air quality. In the UAE especially in places like Dubai, where we often experience scorching summers followed by high humidity spells, it's crucial to keep a close eye on your home environment for dust mites, mold, and other irritants that may cause allergic reactions or exacerbate existing conditions. For starters, using products with biocides can be beneficial. Biocidal agents are designed to kill microorganisms like mold spores and bacteria which can trigger allergy symptoms. However, it's important to select products that meet UAE standards such as the OSH (Occupational Safety & Health) regulations. These guidelines ensure that any cleaning product you use in your home is safe for both you and your family. When choosing a cleaner, look out for those that are specifically labeled as mold and mildew resistant. In Dubai's climate, these can be particularly effective against unwanted growths. Products like bleach solutions or specialized anti-mold sprays can tackle the issue directly. Just remember to follow instructions carefully and ensure good ventilation when using strong chemicals. For dust mites, which thrive in warm and humid environments - typical during summer in UAE - steam cleaners are highly recommended. They can effectively remove dust from carpets and upholstery without causing damage or leaving residues behind that could trigger allergies. Regular cleaning is key. Dust, vacuum regularly, and use damp cloths to wipe down surfaces. This helps minimize the spread of allergens throughout your home. Don't forget corners and high areas where dust tends to accumulate - these can be tricky spots for both kids and adults alike! If you find that no matter how much you clean, symptoms persist or worsen, it might be time to consider a professional inspection. Companies like Saniservice can help identify hidden allergens and offer remediation solutions tailored specifically for the UAE climate.
