How can I clean villa without disturbing grandmother or harming children?« Back to Previous Page

Since moving into our new villa by the beach, we’ve noticed a concerning increase in dust and mold in the bedrooms where my elderly grandmother stays. The windows are rarely opened due to the heat, but it feels like the air is getting more stuffy every day. My children have also been complaining of sneezing and coughing lately. What can I do to clean thoroughly without disturbing her or risking their health?

Cleaning the villa without disturbing your grandmother and keeping your children safe is definitely a challenge, but with proper planning and care, it can be managed effectively. Considering the UAE's regulations and practices, here’s what you should consider.

Firstly, it would be wise to schedule a professional inspection for mold and dust issues. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) are well-versed with the local standards and can offer tailored solutions. They understand the specific challenges in this climate and can provide safe and effective cleaning methods.

To minimize disturbance to your grandmother, it's crucial to plan the cleaning around her schedule. If possible, choose a time when she’s out or resting. For instance, you might find that afternoons are quieter as she may be taking naps. Also, keep in mind that elderly individuals can have sensitive health conditions; thus, using non-toxic and hypoallergenic products is paramount.

Start by addressing the source of the problem: dust and mold. Since windows are rarely opened due to heat, consider using HEPA filters in air purifiers or vacuums to capture fine particles. This will reduce airborne allergens significantly. Regularly changing these filters ensures they remain effective.

For cleaning surfaces, use a mixture of water and mild soap or a solution designed for mold removal if that's identified as an issue. Always wear gloves and ensure the area is well-ventilated. If possible, clean one room at a time to avoid overwhelming your grandmother with sudden changes.

Regarding your children’s health concerns, keeping them away from freshly cleaned areas can help prevent respiratory issues or exacerbation of existing conditions. Make sure they stay in another part of the villa while cleaning and maintain indoor humidity levels below 60% using dehumidifiers if necessary.

Remember to clean high dust accumulators such as window sills, corners behind furniture, and ceiling fans thoroughly. These areas can harbor mold spores and allergens that may affect your family's health.

Lastly, maintaining a regular cleaning schedule will help in keeping the villa clean without causing too much disruption. This includes regular vacuuming, dusting, and spot cleaning of visible stains.

By taking these steps, you can ensure both your grandmother’s comfort and safety while also protecting your children from potential health issues. If at any point you find the situation worsening or if symptoms persist, don’t hesitate to seek professional help promptly.
