Is central cleaning system harming my kids' health?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent heavy dust storm, we’ve noticed a persistent cough among our children when they come inside from playing. The central cleaning system in my apartment seems to be causing this, as the air feels thick and dry right after it runs. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with their family's health since using the central cleaning system?

Central cleaning systems can indeed cause issues for your family's health. In the UAE and particularly in Dubai, where we have such varying weather conditions like recent dust storms, it is common to experience airborne particulates that could trigger respiratory issues especially among children.
The thick, dry air you mention after running the central cleaning system might be due to high-efficiency filters removing too much moisture from the air. This can lead to a sensation of dryness and exacerbate existing conditions like coughs or asthma symptoms. In my experience with similar cases in the region, it's not uncommon for families to notice health issues following the use of such systems. To address your concerns, I would recommend conducting a professional inspection by calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can provide you with an assessment tailored specifically for Dubai and advise on adjustments that might need to be made to ensure both efficient cleaning and a comfortable living environment. When considering the central cleaning system, it is also important to look at the air filters being used. HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are great for capturing small particles but may not always be the best choice if they remove too much moisture from the air. Perhaps switching to a combination of high-efficiency filters and perhaps an additional humidifier could help balance the situation. Another practical tip would be to increase ventilation during dust storms or when you suspect high particulate levels in the air, even if it means opening windows for short periods. This can help reduce indoor concentrations of irritants. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your family's health and comfort, especially considering the weather conditions we experience in the UAE. If the issues persist despite adjustments, a professional consultation would be highly beneficial to ensure your home environment supports healthy living. |
