How can I reduce dust allergens in my kids' bedroom?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning allergies can be pesky especially during the dusty spells we experience here in Dubai. For your kids' bedroom, there are several steps you can take to reduce dust allergens and provide them a healthier sleeping environment.

Firstly, start by giving the room a thorough cleaning. Use microfiber cloths and vacuums with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters as they capture small particles like dust mites and their waste. Be sure to clean under beds, behind curtains, and along baseboards where dust tends to accumulate.

Regularly washing bedding in hot water is crucial. Wash sheets, pillowcases, and blankets every week at a temperature of 60°C or higher to kill dust mites. For comforters and duvets that can’t be washed as frequently, consider using allergen-proof covers.

Ventilation is also key – open windows when possible to allow fresh air in. However, it's important to note that in our climate, this might need to be balanced with humidity control, so use dehumidifiers if needed.

Using an air purifier can help reduce airborne particles and allergens. Look for models with HEPA filters as they are effective at trapping tiny dust mites and their waste. In Dubai, where we often experience high temperatures and humidity, it’s also wise to ensure your HVAC system is well-maintained and regularly serviced.

Regular maintenance of the home can make a big difference too. Dust your furniture frequently using a damp cloth to prevent dry dust from becoming airborne. Also consider decluttering – less stuff means fewer places for dust to accumulate.

Lastly, if you find that despite these steps allergies persist or worsen, it might be time to seek professional help. Here in the UAE, companies like Saniservice offer expert environmental inspections and remediation services which could provide additional support and advice tailored specifically to your situation. Don't hesitate to contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Remember, keeping a clean and allergen-free environment is key – especially in the bedroom where we spend so much of our time, particularly during these dusty spells.
