Is chemical smell from cleaning harming family?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent cleaning of our warehouse, we’ve noticed a strong chemical smell lingering inside. My family has been complaining about headaches and itchy eyes, especially when they stay there longer than an hour. The last time we cleaned, we used some harsh solvents that might have gone too far. Could this be causing their symptoms? What should I do to ensure the air quality is safe for everyone?

Absolutely, the chemical smell from cleaning could be causing those headaches and itchy eyes. In Dubai/UAE, we're dealing with stringent environmental regulations for indoor air quality, especially concerning volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are often found in harsh solvents. If your last cleaning used such products, it’s not unusual for them to leave a lingering odor.
Firstly, ensure the area is well-ventilated. Open all windows and doors to allow fresh air circulation. Use fans if needed but make sure there's no direct exposure of people to the fumes. In Dubai, we often experience hot weather, which can be an ally as warm air tends to carry away chemicals more efficiently. However, given your family’s symptoms, it would be wise to consider a professional inspection. Here in the UAE, regulations like those set by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) demand that indoor air quality is maintained at safe levels for health. A professional can test the air composition and identify if there's an over-exposure to any harmful chemicals.
