Are symptoms post-office clean normal?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent deep clean of our office, which we hired a professional company to do two weeks ago, my colleagues and I have been experiencing sneezing fits and itchy eyes. It's really worrying me that maybe something wasn't done properly or if there are lingering allergens from old cleaning products. Has anyone else had similar experiences after an office deep clean, or any tips on what we should look out for in the future?

It's quite concerning to hear about the sneezing and itchy eyes that have been bothering you post-office clean. While it could be a range of factors contributing to these symptoms, it is important to consider the possibility that residues from cleaning products or lingering allergens might be the cause.

In Dubai/UAE, we do follow certain regulations regarding indoor environmental quality but it's also crucial to ensure thorough cleaning and proper product usage during deep cleans. The UAE Ministry of Community Development sets guidelines for maintaining clean environments, particularly in public spaces, which can indirectly affect office spaces as well. However, these are more focused on hygiene standards rather than specific allergen control measures.

Symptoms like yours could be due to a few reasons such as residual cleaning chemicals, dust mites, or even mold growth if there was a moisture issue during the clean. It's not uncommon for professional deep cleans to cause temporary irritation but persistent symptoms should warrant attention.

For your situation, I would recommend reaching out to a professional environmental inspection and remediation company like Saniservice. They can conduct a thorough check of your office environment and ensure that all potential allergens or contaminants have been properly addressed. Their services are available via phone at 800-MOLDS (66537) or through email at hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, you might want to take some preventive measures. Ensure good ventilation in your office by opening windows if possible or using air purifiers that can help filter out irritants like dust and pollen. Additionally, try to keep surfaces clean and dry; moisture can be a breeding ground for mold which could exacerbate allergies.

Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when dealing with potential allergens, especially in an environment where comfort is paramount. Taking proactive steps now could prevent more severe issues down the line.
