Can I handle fine dust issues myself?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a persistent fine dust settling on everything in my living room. Despite cleaning more frequently than usual, it’s still there, and my kids have been complaining of sore throats. The AC seems to circulate it around too. Can I handle this issue myself, or do I need professional help?

Handling fine dust issues can be challenging, especially after experiencing those recent sandstorms. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, environmental conditions like these can indeed pose a serious threat to indoor air quality. While you might try some DIY methods initially, it’s important to consider your family's health and comfort.
Firstly, let's look at some practical steps you could take yourself. Regular cleaning with microfiber cloths and HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters can help capture fine particles. Ensure that your vacuum cleaner has a HEPA filter which is much better than standard bags for capturing dust. It’s also wise to clean the air ducts if they are accessible, as sand and dust can easily accumulate there. Another step would be to use indoor plants known for their air-purifying properties like snake plants or spider plants. These can help reduce some of the fine particles in your living space. Additionally, maintaining a good level of humidity (around 40-50%) could also help as it prevents dust from becoming airborne. However, given that you mentioned persistent issues and concerns about your kids' health, it might be wise to call upon professional assistance. In Dubai, the UAE has no specific regulations directly related to fine dust in homes but ensuring good indoor air quality can align with broader building codes and environmental standards.

If you do decide to go ahead without professional help, keep detailed records of your efforts and any changes in symptoms among household members.
