After the sandstorm last week, I noticed a layer of fine grit on all my furniture and electronics, even inside my living room. It's been settling everywhere, making it hard to breathe and causing coughing fits in both me and my kids. How urgent is this issue, and what steps should we take right away to clean up before the next storm hits?

Cleaning after a sandstorm is indeed urgent and necessary. The fine grit and dust can settle quickly, making it harder to clean up later. In the uae/dubai area, such storms are common occurrences, and they can have significant impacts on indoor air quality and the cleanliness of your home or office.
The accumulation of this fine sand and dust can pose respiratory issues for you and your family. As per uae regulations, maintaining good indoor air quality is essential to ensure a healthy living environment. This includes keeping your space free from pollutants like the ones left behind by sandstorms. To tackle this issue promptly, start with these steps: 1. Seal Entry Points: Make sure all windows and doors are tightly closed during sandstorms. Use temporary seals or tape around gaps if necessary to prevent further dust entry. 2. Use a Vacuum Cleaner: Invest in a high-quality vacuum cleaner that can handle fine particles effectively. A HEPA filter is particularly useful for capturing even the smallest particulates. 3. Wet Cleaning: While it might sound counterintuitive, using a damp cloth or mop can be effective in picking up fine dust without stirring up more of it. Just ensure to clean and dry your tools thoroughly afterward. 4. Ventilation Check: After the storm, open windows for a short time if possible but avoid doing so when sand is still being blown around. 5. Regular Inspections: Consider having an inspection done by professionals, especially if you notice persistent issues or if someone in your household has respiratory problems.
