Can cleaning bedroom reduce kids' allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, my children started having severe coughing fits and runny noses. The allergic reactions seem to be coming from the bedroom where they sleep, as I’ve noticed a lot of dust bunnies under the bed and in the corners. Is there anything specific I can do to clean and de-clutter this area to reduce their allergy symptoms?

Cleaning the bedroom can indeed help reduce your kids' allergy symptoms. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, where dust storms are common, it's crucial to keep indoor spaces clean and allergen-free. The first step is to evaluate the current state of your children’s sleeping area.

Start by decluttering the space. Dust bunnies under beds and in corners can trap a lot of dust mites and other allergens. Make sure to remove all unnecessary items that might be collecting dust, like toys, books, or decorative pieces. Use vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters as they are more effective at capturing fine particles.

Next, deep clean your bedroom. Wipe down surfaces such as nightstands, bedside tables, and window sills using a damp cloth to prevent spreading dust into the air. Be sure to change and wash bed linens frequently—ideally once a week in hot water to kill dust mites. Consider using allergy-proof covers for mattresses and pillows.

Ventilation is key too. In Dubai’s climate, it's important to ensure good airflow to reduce humidity levels that can exacerbate allergies. Open windows when possible or use air purifiers with activated carbon filters which are effective at removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as other allergens.

It might also be a wise decision to seek professional help if you’re unsure about the extent of the issue. Companies like Saniservice provide comprehensive indoor environmental inspections and remediation services that can identify specific allergens in your home and recommend appropriate treatments.

Remember, regular maintenance is crucial for maintaining good air quality and minimizing allergy triggers. Keeping these tips in mind will not only help reduce allergy symptoms but also improve overall air quality in your home. If you find the situation persisting or worsening despite your efforts, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance.

Regular cleaning and maintaining a healthy environment can make a huge difference for allergy sufferers, especially during seasons like after dust storms.
