Can dust from neighbors be cleaned at home?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent construction next door, our living room has become a dust storm zone. Even with windows closed, fine particles keep settling on everything. My family is starting to show signs of irritation, especially my daughter who gets frequent coughs. Should I consider hiring professionals or can this be managed at home?

Absolutely, dust from the construction next door can be managed at home. However, it's important to understand that while you may see some improvements by doing things yourself, significant issues might require professional assistance especially considering the stringent regulations in the UAE.
Firstly, i would suggest you familiarize yourself with the air quality standards set forth in the UAE, such as those from the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). In Dubai, they have strict guidelines for dust and particulate matter. If your home's air quality falls below these thresholds, professional help might be necessary to ensure compliance. To start managing the dust at home, begin by using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner that can effectively capture fine particles. Regularly clean surfaces with damp cloths to avoid disturbing settled dust and causing it to resettle elsewhere in the room. Keeping your living space well-ventilated is key, even if you have to use air purifiers or dehumidifiers to keep moisture down. Make sure to cover any openings like doors and windows to prevent more dust from entering. And don’t forget about indoor plants; while they look nice, they can actually attract dust too! However, if the irritation in your family continues despite these measures, you might want to consider a professional inspection. In Dubai, companies such as Saniservice are equipped with advanced equipment and techniques to assess the extent of contamination and recommend appropriate solutions. If the situation gets worse or doesn't improve after trying home remedies, i'd advise contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough inspection and tailored advice based on your specific circumstances. Remember, health is paramount, so don't hesitate to seek professional help if needed. |
