Is dust buildup causing our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust bunnies piling up under the bed in my bedroom. My daughter has been having frequent coughing fits and my husband complains about his itchy eyes every time he returns from work. Could this be related to the dust buildup? What can we do to clean more effectively and prevent these symptoms?

Yes, it's very likely that the dust buildup is causing your symptoms. In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, we experience a lot of dust storms which can lead to significant amounts of fine particulate matter settling inside homes and buildings. This accumulation, especially in areas like under beds or behind furniture, can indeed trigger respiratory issues such as coughing fits and allergic reactions leading to itchy eyes.
To address this issue effectively, here are some steps you can take: Firstly, regular cleaning is key. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter which can capture tiny particles that standard vacuums might miss. For hard surfaces, a damp cloth or mop can help remove dust more efficiently than dry methods. Secondly, consider a professional inspection by contacting Saniservice at 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide an expert assessment of your indoor air quality and recommend specific measures to mitigate allergens and irritants. Thirdly, invest in good air filtration systems like central air conditioning with high-efficiency filters. In Dubai’s climate, these can be quite beneficial for maintaining clean air indoors. Lastly, keep windows closed during dust storms and consider using an air purifier if you're concerned about the indoor environment quality. Remember, keeping your home clean is a continuous process, not just a one-time task. Regular maintenance will help reduce allergens and prevent symptoms from flaring up again. |
