How urgent is cleaning the dust storm residue?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a layer of fine dust settling on everything in my living room, including the windowsills and furniture. It’s been there for over a week now and no matter how much I try to clean it, it keeps coming back. The kids are starting to show signs of respiratory issues too. How urgent is this issue really, and what can I do to address it quickly?

Cleaning the dust storm residue is indeed urgent, especially considering the signs of respiratory issues your kids are showing. Dust storms in Dubai and the UAE can introduce a wide range of particulates including sand, pollen, and other allergens which can exacerbate existing conditions or trigger new ones.
The situation you described sounds quite serious and may require immediate attention. This layer of fine dust is not only unsightly but also potentially harmful to your family's health. The dust storm residue could contain microplastics, heavy metals, and other contaminants that are harmful when inhaled. Given the severity, I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection with Saniservice to identify any hidden sources or potential issues that may be contributing to the persistence of this dust. Their expertise can help ensure your home is thoroughly cleaned and any necessary remediation work is done properly. In the meantime, here are some steps you can take immediately: • Use HEPA filter vacuum cleaners which are more effective at capturing fine particles. • Dust with microfiber cloths that trap dust rather than spreading it around. • Consider running a dehumidifier to prevent mold growth if the moisture content is high. • Increase air circulation by using fans or opening windows (if safe) for short periods when the air quality outside is better. Regular maintenance and ensuring your home is well-sealed can also help reduce dust accumulation in the future. If you notice any persistent health concerns, consulting a healthcare professional would be wise. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to set up an inspection as soon as possible. The safety of your family's health should always take precedence. |
