Can air filtration prevent kids' allergies?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I’ve noticed a lot of sneezing and runny noses in my kids’ rooms. The windows are shut tight to keep out sand, but it seems like there’s still something lingering inside that could be causing these allergies. Is there anything specific I can do to clean or filter the air to prevent this from happening again?

Absolutely! Air filtration can play a significant role in preventing allergies for your kids. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience dusty conditions due to sand storms and other factors. These can introduce allergens like dust mites, pollen, and even mold spores into our indoor environments.

To address this issue, consider installing a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in your home. HEPA filters are designed to capture 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, which includes allergens like dust mites and pollen. For best results, place the filter in key areas where your children spend most of their time, such as their bedrooms.

Moreover, regular cleaning is essential. Dust accumulates over time and can be a breeding ground for allergens. Use microfiber cloths to clean surfaces, which are more effective at trapping dust than traditional cloths. Vacuuming with a HEPA filter-equipped vacuum cleaner can also reduce indoor particulate matter significantly.

Given the specific challenges in the UAE region, it's wise to consult local professionals who understand the unique environmental conditions here. A professional inspection could help identify any hidden sources of allergens or other issues that might need addressing. If you decide to go this route, you can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key. By taking these steps and considering professional assistance when necessary, you can create a healthier environment for your family in Dubai.
