Should I request more frequent cleanings?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our living room, we’ve noticed a lot more dust than usual. The cleaning staff has been extra thorough, but with my young son playing there all day, I’m starting to worry about allergens and germs accumulating. Given that we have had family members over who are immunocompromised, should I be asking for more frequent cleanings or perhaps specific measures to address these concerns?

Absolutely, your concerns about allergens and germs are valid especially given the presence of immunocompromised family members. The recent renovation might have disturbed settled dust that could now be airborne, which is why you're noticing more dust than usual.

In Dubai, we adhere to specific health and safety guidelines as per the UAE Ministry of Health and Safety (MOHS). These guidelines suggest maintaining a high standard of cleanliness in residences, particularly for those with vulnerable family members. It's wise to request your cleaning staff to adopt more thorough and frequent cleaning practices, especially focusing on areas like the living room where your son plays.

You might consider asking for these specific measures:
• Regular deep cleans using microfiber cloths that trap dust effectively
• Use of HEPA filters in vacuum cleaners to capture fine particles
• Steam cleaning carpets and upholstery which can eliminate allergens and germs more effectively than traditional cleaning methods

Additionally, it's a good idea to schedule regular air quality checks. While there aren't specific regulations mandating such inspections for personal residences, it’s always prudent to ensure that the indoor environment remains healthy. You could contact professional inspection services like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) who can provide detailed reports on air quality and suggest any necessary improvements.

Remember, maintaining a clean home is crucial for everyone's health but particularly important for those with compromised immune systems. Regular cleaning coupled with professional inspections will help keep your environment safe and healthy.

Lastly, consider educating the cleaning staff about the importance of using eco-friendly products that don’t introduce additional allergens or irritants into the home. This small step can significantly enhance the overall cleanliness and safety of your living space.

Call 800-MOLDS for more info or reach out to Saniservice at hello@saniservice.com if you need guidance on specific cleaning protocols tailored to your needs.
