Is recent cleaning causing our home chemicals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy cleaning they did at our hotel two weeks ago, there's a lingering chemical smell that has been bothering me. My throat feels irritated, and my kids have had more coughing than usual since we moved in. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed this change. Could it be from the recent cleaning?

Indeed, the chemical smell and physical symptoms like throat irritation could be related to recent cleaning activities. In Dubai/UAE, it's quite common for hotels to undergo thorough cleaning after guest turnover or renovations. The chemicals used can sometimes linger, causing discomfort.
Given your situation, it might be worth considering a professional inspection. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality, particularly in commercial spaces like hotels. Emirate laws and the Abu Dhabi Municipality provide guidelines on maintaining healthy environments for residents and visitors. However, it's crucial to ensure that these standards are being met post-cleaning. To take action, I'd recommend reaching out to a professional service provider such as Saniservice who can conduct an inspection of your hotel room. They use advanced testing equipment and methods to identify any lingering chemicals or allergens that might be causing issues. The contact details you have been given are: call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance. In the meantime, ensure good ventilation in your room by opening windows if possible and using air purifiers to help reduce any lingering odors. Avoid using scented candles or air fresheners which might mask the issue rather than solve it. Also, keep an eye on your family's health; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor who can provide medical advice specific to your situation. Remember, staying informed about local regulations and seeking professional help when needed is key in maintaining a healthy living environment, especially in such close quarters as a hotel room. |
