How can I prevent persistent dust from settling?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a persistent fine dust settling on everything in my living room. The air feels thick and it's causing my allergies to flare up. My family has been coughing more than usual too. Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening again?

Well there ya go! Seems like we're dealing with some pesky dust issues post the recent storms. In Dubai and the UAE, it's pretty common to have such challenges due to our climate and geographical location. But fear not, I got you covered on how to tackle this!

First off, it’s crucial to ensure your home is properly sealed against outdoor elements. During heavy dust storms, check for any gaps in doors or windows that might allow dust particles to infiltrate. Using weather stripping or sealants can be a good investment here.

Secondly, regular cleaning is key! Establishing a routine of vacuuming with a HEPA filter and using damp cloths for surfaces will help trap fine particles. Pay extra attention to areas like your living room where you've noticed the dust settling. Additionally, consider investing in air purifiers equipped with true HEPA filters. These can be especially beneficial if allergies or respiratory issues are a concern.

Another tip is to monitor indoor humidity levels. High humidity can contribute to dust mite growth and mold development. Keeping it below 60% through dehumidifiers or air conditioning can help keep these issues at bay. In the UAE, our hot climate makes this particularly important.

If you find that your efforts aren't quite cutting it, it might be wise to call in a professional for an inspection. Our company here in Dubai can assess any hidden sources of dust and provide tailored solutions if necessary. You can reach us on 800-MOLDS or by emailing hello@saniservice.com.

Lastly, consider using natural air purifiers like plants which can also help improve the overall indoor air quality. Just be sure to pick species that thrive in your local conditions!

Hope this helps! If you've got more questions, drop a line or give us a call. Take care and stay healthy!
