Can I manage haze and allergies on my own?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, managing indoor air quality and allergies during such conditions can be handled on your own. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, dust storms are a common occurrence, especially during spring months, which is why it's crucial to take precautions.

First off, ensure that you clean up any visible dust from surfaces in your home. Use a damp cloth or a microfiber duster for this; dry cloths can just spread more dust around the room. Regular cleaning of curtains and carpets with vacuum cleaners also helps reduce allergens. Do remember to change your air filters frequently – every 30 days if you have pets, or sooner if you notice them getting dirty quickly.

Ventilation is key! While opening windows might not completely clear out the haze, consider using a portable air purifier with HEPA filters. They can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, which includes dust and allergens that are commonly found post-dust storms. These machines can significantly improve indoor air quality.

For the stuffy feeling you’re experiencing, dehumidifiers might help in reducing moisture levels, which could be contributing to your discomfort. Keeping a close eye on humidity levels with a hygrometer can ensure they stay between 30-50%, ideal for most people.

If you continue to struggle, it's advisable to reach out to professionals who specialize in indoor environmental quality. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-regarded and comply with UAE standards such as the Building Control Regulations (BRC) and the Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Environment (ADDME). They can perform a thorough inspection and provide tailored solutions.

Remember, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to see an allergist for personalized advice. Don't hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information or assistance. Stay healthy and safe!
