When should I clean the persistent haze?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense dust storm last month, I’ve been noticing a persistent haze in my living room, which is affecting my allergies. It’s been two weeks now, and no matter how much I clean, it seems to come back. Given that I have asthma, this has become quite urgent. When should I prioritize cleaning this up?

Cleaning the persistent haze in your living room is indeed important, especially given its impact on your asthma and allergies. In Dubai/UAE, we're often faced with dust storms that can leave behind particles that are hard to clean away completely. It’s great that you’re already taking steps by cleaning frequently but the fact it keeps coming back indicates a more thorough approach might be needed.

Firstly, you should prioritize deep cleaning as soon as possible. This involves removing all your furnishings and thoroughly vacuuming or dusting every nook and cranny in your living room. Don’t forget to clean behind and under furniture where dust can accumulate easily. Using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner is highly recommended for capturing small particles that might be causing your allergy symptoms.

Secondly, consider consulting with a professional environmental inspection service. In the UAE, regulations like those from the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) are in place to ensure building environments meet certain standards, but sometimes these can be exceeded by lingering dust from storms. A professional can conduct an assessment using specialized equipment to determine if there’s anything specific causing the haze that you might have missed.

Given your sensitivity to allergies and asthma, it's crucial not only to clean effectively but also to maintain a healthy indoor environment. Regular cleaning coupled with sealing gaps in windows and doors, ensuring good ventilation, and possibly using air purifiers can help manage allergens better. For instance, placing an air purifier in the living room could be beneficial.
