Are symptoms from hotel cleaning chemicals or dust?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent heavy cleaning at our hotel during the summer, I’ve noticed a persistent cough and headaches that seem to worsen when we stay there. The air feels stale even with the AC on full blast. Could it be from lingering chemicals or dust? Have others experienced similar issues after staying in hotels recently cleaned?

Yes, symptoms from hotel cleaning chemicals or dust could absolutely be the source of discomfort and health issues you are experiencing. In the UAE, particularly during the intense summer months, hotels often undergo thorough cleaning to combat the higher levels of humidity and potential mold growth. However, this can sometimes lead to lingering irritants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning agents or dust particles that might cause respiratory issues such as coughing and headaches.
In Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and chemical usage in buildings. The UAE Environment Agency has guidelines for the use of non-toxic and low-impact cleaning products to minimize health risks. It's crucial to ensure hotels adhere to these standards but unfortunately, not all do. If you're experiencing persistent symptoms after staying at a hotel recently cleaned, it’s highly recommended that you seek professional assistance. Companies like Saniservice can provide air quality testing and identify any lingering chemicals or dust that might be causing your discomfort. To get started, consider booking an inspection through their services. Their experts will use advanced equipment to test for contaminants and provide a detailed report on what’s affecting the air quality in the hotel rooms. Based on the findings, they can recommend appropriate remediation steps such as improved ventilation, cleaning product changes, or even temporary relocation during thorough clean-ups. Remember, your health is paramount. If symptoms persist after an inspection, take necessary actions to ensure you stay healthy and comfortable while traveling.
