Is cleaning urgent due to dust storms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a layer of fine gray dust settling on everything in my living room and dining area. It’s not just a thin film; it’s thick enough to wipe off with a damp cloth. The kids have been coughing more than usual since then, and I’m starting to worry about the quality of the air we’re breathing. How urgent is it to clean these multi-zone areas properly?

Cleaning your multi-zone areas following the heavy dust storms is indeed urgent. The thick layer of fine gray dust you're seeing can contain a variety of pollutants including sand particles, pollen, and even small amounts of other particulates which could be harmful to health.
In Dubai/UAE, we adhere to local environmental standards and regulations that are designed to ensure good indoor air quality (IAQ). Given the recent storms, it's essential to address the dust buildup promptly. The UAE doesn’t have specific laws dictating the frequency of cleaning, but maintaining a clean environment is crucial for health and comfort. Cleaning these areas will not only improve the aesthetics of your living room and dining area but also help reduce potential allergens that could be causing your kids' coughing. To effectively tackle this issue, start by gently wiping down surfaces with a damp cloth or a microfiber cloth to avoid spreading the dust around too much. Pay special attention to corners, ceiling fans, and other areas where dust tends to accumulate. For more thorough cleaning, consider using a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter. This will help capture finer particles that may be difficult to remove otherwise. Also, don't forget about your carpets and rugs; a professional steam clean might be necessary if the storms left a significant amount of dirt behind. Given the severity of the situation, it might also be wise to have an indoor air quality inspection done. Professionals can provide insights into the levels of dust particles, mold, or other pollutants in your home. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer such services and can give you peace of mind about the air you're breathing. Remember, regular cleaning is key to maintaining a healthy living environment. However, if symptoms persist after thorough cleaning, consulting with a healthcare provider might be necessary as well. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance and advice tailored to your specific situation in Dubai. Cleaning isn't just about aesthetics; it's about protecting the health of you and your family. Let’s make sure we do what is needed now before this dust storm turns into a bigger issue. |
