Can I clean dust myself or should I hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent construction next door, my bedroom has become a dust trap. Even with windows closed, it’s still covered in fine particles that settle on everything. My family is starting to show signs of irritation, especially my daughter who complains of a persistent cough. Should I consider hiring professional help or are there methods I can handle this myself?

Absolutely, I understand your concern about the dust levels in your bedroom. In Dubai and other parts of UAE, dust can be quite a nuisance, especially after construction activities next door. Before diving into self-cleaning methods or hiring professionals, let's first consider some factors specific to the region.
Firstly, according to the UAE's Environmental Health Regulations (EHR) 2014, it is essential to maintain indoor air quality by minimizing dust and other particulates. While minor cases can often be managed with DIY techniques, more serious instances might require professional intervention, particularly when family members experience symptoms like a persistent cough. For less severe scenarios, you could start with regular cleaning. Start by removing the obvious dirt using a damp cloth or microfiber duster to avoid spreading dust particles around the room. Vacuuming surfaces thoroughly, including window sills and corners, can help, but make sure your vacuum has HEPA filters as they are better at capturing fine particles. Use air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters which can significantly improve indoor air quality. These devices work by trapping allergens and other particulates in the air, making them a valuable addition to your dust management arsenal. However, if you notice that despite these efforts, the dust levels remain high or family members continue to experience symptoms like coughing or irritation, it might be time to consider professional help. In Dubai, companies such as Saniservice can provide thorough inspections and remediation services that adhere to local standards and regulations. Remember, in Dubai, you could contact 800-MOLDS (or call 800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance. They offer comprehensive dust testing and removal services tailored to the local climate and building conditions. Taking action sooner rather than later can help prevent further health issues, especially in children who are more susceptible to respiratory problems. So, if you're concerned about the dust levels or its effects on your family's well-being, it might be wise to consult with professionals for a thorough assessment and appropriate solutions. Stay proactive and take necessary steps to maintain a healthy indoor environment. |
