How urgent is thorough cleaning to avoid allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm a few days ago, I noticed a lot of lint and dust bunnies piling up under my living room furniture. My kids have been complaining about sneezing fits every time we sit down to watch TV. How urgent is it for me to clean those areas thoroughly to avoid more allergy issues?

Cleaning after a dust storm is indeed quite urgent, especially considering the potential impact it can have on your family's health. In dubai and the uae, we've seen an increase in allergy-related complaints post-dust storms due to the high concentration of airborne particles that settle into our homes.

The urgency comes from the fact that those pesky dust bunnies under furniture are not just unsightly – they can be a breeding ground for dust mites, pollen, and other allergens. These irritants can trigger allergic reactions in children and adults alike, leading to symptoms like sneezing fits, runny noses, itchy eyes, and even asthma attacks.

Given the recent storm, it's highly advisable to thoroughly clean these areas as soon as possible. Start by moving all furniture away from walls to expose hidden dust that has settled over time. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter or high-efficiency bag to capture tiny particles that standard vacuums might miss. Don't forget to clean the spaces under your living room furniture where lint and dust tend to gather.

Regular cleaning is key, but after such events it's even more important. Consider setting up a routine maintenance plan for your home – maybe once every few weeks or before the start of allergy season. This will help keep allergens at bay and reduce the risk of health issues for you and your family.

If you find that despite thorough cleaning, allergies persist or if symptoms worsen, it may be time to call in a professional. In dubai, companies like saniservice are well-versed in conducting comprehensive environmental inspections and remediation services to identify and address underlying issues contributing to indoor air quality problems.
