How can I clean my kids' room safely without worsening their cough?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning your kids' room can be crucial during Ramadan to ensure they're breathing fresh air and not exacerbating their cough. In the UAE, it's vital to maintain a healthy environment at home as the summer heat and humidity levels can affect indoor air quality.

Firstly, check if the persistent cough is due to dust or other allergens by consulting with a healthcare professional. If you suspect your kids are reacting to allergens in the room, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS for a professional inspection. They will assess the situation and provide recommendations based on UAE regulations.

To clean their bedroom safely, start by using HEPA filters. These filters capture tiny particles like dust mites and pollen that can trigger coughs. You can use an air purifier with HEPA filter in the room to improve indoor air quality while you work on cleaning.

Vacuuming is key but ensure you're using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter too, as this will help trap allergens instead of spreading them around. Be thorough and focus on areas where dust tends to accumulate like under beds, behind curtains, and in corners.

Wipe surfaces gently with a damp cloth or a mixture of water and vinegar to remove dust without leaving streaks. Avoid using harsh chemicals unless necessary, as some can irritate the respiratory system further.

Consider deep cleaning carpets and rugs if they are heavily soiled, but do this when your kids aren’t around to minimize their exposure. You might want to consider professional carpet cleaning services in Dubai for a thorough job that uses eco-friendly products.

Lastly, ensure good ventilation even during Ramadan. Open windows whenever possible, especially after sunset prayers, to allow fresh air into the room. Using an AC unit can help control humidity levels and keep the environment cool and dry, which is less favorable for mold growth.

Remember, keeping your home clean and well-ventilated will go a long way in reducing allergens and improving your kids' health during Ramadan. If you find it challenging to manage on your own or if the situation does not improve, don't hesitate to reach out for professional help.
