Are dust bunnies and allergens worse during hot weather?« Back to Previous Page

Yes, dust bunnies and allergens can indeed be worse during hot weather, especially here in Dubai. The high temperatures coupled with the dry climate create a perfect environment for dust to accumulate quickly under furniture and in corners of your home. This is particularly noticeable after intense summer heat as you've experienced.

During such periods, it's not uncommon for air conditioning units to become dirtier faster due to increased use. In fact, the AC filter can trap a lot more dust and allergens, leading to poor indoor air quality (IAQ) that could exacerbate allergies and respiratory issues among family members.

Given your situation, it might be wise to consider a professional inspection from a company like Saniservice who are familiar with UAE-specific regulations. They can provide a thorough evaluation of your home's IAQ and recommend the best strategies for cleaning and maintaining good air quality during these hot months.

Here’s what you can do yourself:
1. Start by giving your living room a deep clean. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to suck up dust bunnies and other allergens.
2. Wipe down surfaces frequently, especially those that attract dust like tables, shelves, and window sills.
3. Consider using a damp cloth or microfiber dusters for surfaces as they can trap more dust compared to dry cloths.
4. Clean your air conditioning filters every month during peak summer months. Make sure you change them immediately if they appear too dirty.
5. If possible, run the AC on low to maintain a cooler indoor environment which reduces dust mite growth.

Remember, keeping your home clean and well-maintained is key but sometimes professional help can make all the difference. For more information or assistance, feel free to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.
