Are allergies worse due to cleaning before Ramadan?« Back to Previous Page

Yes allergies can get worse due to cleaning before Ramadan. The increased dust and allergens stirred up during thorough cleaning sessions can indeed cause respiratory issues especially among those who have sensitivities. In Dubai, as we head into the month of Ramadan, the air conditioning systems are often running more frequently to keep indoor spaces cool. This can lead to a whirlwind of particles being circulated in your home if not properly maintained.

I've heard this issue from several neighbors and it's indeed common here. The dry climate combined with dust stirred up during cleaning sessions can exacerbate allergies and respiratory problems, leading to discomfort for those who are prone. My suggestion is to be extra cautious when doing deep cleans before Ramadan starts. It’s crucial to ensure the air quality in your home remains clean and healthy.

Firstly, make sure your air conditioning units are serviced by a professional before Ramadan begins. This will help filter out more particles from circulating in the air. Secondly, use HEPA filters during cleaning sessions - they're excellent at trapping tiny dust particles that can trigger allergies. It’s also wise to wear a mask when doing heavy cleaning tasks and try to keep windows open (weather permitting) for some natural ventilation.

If you notice your daughter's coughing getting worse despite these precautions, it might be worth having a professional environmental inspection done.
