Are cleaning products effective against bedroom allergens?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a significant increase in sneezing and itchy eyes whenever I spend time in my bedroom. The carpet seems to hold onto moisture even after drying, and I suspect that’s where all these allergens are coming from. Could there be any specific cleaning products or methods you recommend to prevent this from happening again?

Absolutely, cleaning products can be effective against bedroom allergens but it's important to choose the right ones. In the UAE especially in Dubai, where we experience varying humidity levels, maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is crucial for allergy sufferers.

First off, always make sure you're aware of any local regulations or recommendations from health authorities. The Dubai Municipality provides guidelines on indoor air quality that can be quite useful. However, when it comes to cleaning your bedroom carpet after the rain, a thorough approach is key.

Start with a good vacuum cleaner - look for one that has a HEPA filter which can capture tiny particles and allergens effectively. Regularly clean your carpet using this setup; avoid using products with strong chemicals as they might irritate your respiratory system. For tougher stains or persistent allergen hotspots, you may consider steam cleaning.

For surfaces like bed frames, furniture, and even curtains, a mix of water and vinegar can work wonders. This natural solution is gentle yet effective at eliminating dust mites and other allergy triggers. Don’t forget to wash bedding in hot water (at least 60°C) once a week as this temperature can kill dust mites.

If the carpet seems to hold moisture even after drying, it might be worth calling in an expert for a professional inspection. Saniservice, our company here in Dubai, offers comprehensive mold and mildew inspections that could help pinpoint any underlying issues. Our number is 800-MOLDS or you can email us at hello@saniservice.com.

To prevent recurrence, consider investing in dehumidifiers to keep humidity levels down, especially if your carpet continues to show signs of moisture retention. Regularly airing out the room and using air purifiers with activated carbon filters can also help reduce allergens floating around.

Lastly, try to maintain a consistent cleaning schedule and stay vigilant about any changes in your environment that might affect indoor air quality. With these steps, you should see a significant reduction in those pesky allergy symptoms!

Remember, prevention is key. Keep an eye on the weather conditions and always be prepared for sudden changes like heavy rainfall. Stay healthy!
