How can I prevent sand from entering during open windows?« Back to Previous Page

Preventing sand from entering your child’s playroom during open windows can be a bit of a challenge, especially given the frequent dust storms in dubai. Here are some practical steps you could take to minimize the entry of sand and keep the room clean:

Firstly, it's essential to understand that in accordance with uae standards for indoor air quality (iso 14683), maintaining a healthy environment is paramount, particularly when it comes to children’s spaces. However, specific regulations regarding window coverings or temporary measures during dust storms may not be as stringent, so it's always good practice to take proactive steps.

One effective method is using temporary window covers. Window screens are a common choice but might not be enough if the storm is severe. You could consider installing temporary plastic sheeting or even a simple tarp over your windows. This can act like a barrier and prevent sand from entering, making cleanup much easier afterward. Just ensure that any coverings are installed securely to avoid accidents.

Another tip is maintaining indoor humidity levels around 40-60%. High humidity can help reduce the amount of dust in the air by keeping particles more bound to surfaces. This might require a dehumidifier or regular use of a humidifier, especially during dry spells.

Regular cleaning and maintenance are also key. Use microfiber cloths that trap dust effectively without spreading it around. Dusting your shelves with gentle sweeping motions can help keep things tidy. Also, consider using an air purifier in the room to filter out any fine particles that might have entered from outside.

Lastly, regular professional inspections by companies like ours (Saniservice) are recommended to ensure that there’s no underlying mold or dampness issues caused by these storms, which could impact your child's health. Should you notice any unusual odors or signs of moisture damage, it's crucial to address them promptly to maintain a safe environment for your family.

Remember, keeping the playroom clean and dust-free is important for both aesthetics and your child’s well-being. With some simple measures, you can greatly reduce the amount of sand entering during storms and keep the area in better condition.
