Can I clean indoor haze myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a weird haze settling inside my living room. It’s not as bad as when the windows are closed during the sandstorms, but it's definitely there, especially in the mornings. My family has been complaining of headaches and sore throats, which might be linked to this air issue. Do you think I can handle cleaning up the indoor air myself, or should I consider professional help?

Absolutely, you can take some steps to improve indoor air quality yourself before seeking professional assistance. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, maintaining a healthy living environment is crucial given the climatic conditions and frequent dust storms.

First off, it's wise to start by ensuring your HVAC system is clean and functioning properly. Dust and debris can accumulate over time, leading to poor air circulation and potentially affecting indoor air quality. Consider changing or cleaning your filters regularly—every month during dusty seasons might be necessary. If you're unsure about how to do this yourself, a quick call to a local HVAC service provider could help.

Ventilation is another key factor. Open windows when possible, but keep an eye on the weather conditions to avoid letting in more dust and sand. Awnings or shutters can also come in handy during particularly bad storms. Utilize air purifiers that have HEPA filters; they're especially effective at capturing particles like dust mites, pollen, and even some viruses.

However, if you notice persistent issues or your family continues to experience symptoms such as headaches and sore throats, it may be time to consider a professional inspection. In the UAE, regulations around indoor air quality are less stringent compared to some other regions, but ensuring that your environment is safe for you and your family should always be top priority.
