How urgent is cleaning after a dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed an increase in allergens in my nursery. The corners of the room near the window are particularly bad, even though I clean weekly. Given how sensitive my child is to allergies, how urgently do you think I should address this issue?

Cleaning after a dust storm can be quite urgent especially in an environment like nurseries where the health of children is paramount. In dubai and the uae , regulations are stringent about indoor air quality, particulate matter, and allergens. The last dust storm you mentioned could have deposited a substantial amount of airborne particles that are harmful to health.
The corners near windows are indeed hotspots for accumulation as they can trap and hold dust more than other areas. Regular cleaning is essential but may not be enough given the sensitivity of your child's allergies. It’s recommended to conduct an inspection by professionals who can assess the overall quality of indoor air and pinpoint problem areas that might need deeper cleaning or remediation. In light of this, i would suggest reaching out to a company like Saniservice.com for an inspection. Their expertise in environmental services could be crucial here. The team at 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) can help identify allergens and other irritants that might have been introduced during the dust storm. Given the UAE's climate, it’s also a good idea to invest in air purifiers if not already used. These can significantly improve indoor air quality by filtering out particulate matter, pollen, and other allergens. Additionally, using HEPA filters is highly recommended as they capture even the smallest particles. Regular maintenance of HVAC systems should be prioritized too. The filters in these units often need to be changed more frequently after such storms to ensure they are not clogged with dust and debris that can circulate back into your living space. In summary, the situation calls for immediate attention due to potential health risks associated with allergens post-dust storm. A professional inspection followed by targeted cleaning and environmental improvements would go a long way in ensuring a safer and healthier environment for your child. |
