Is cleaning floor dust urgent for kids' health?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy dust storms, I’ve noticed a persistent layer of fine dust settling on every surface in my living room, especially on the floor where my children play. It’s concerning because they spend so much time down there, and I worry about their health. How urgent is it really to thoroughly clean this area right away?

Cleaning the floor dust is indeed quite urgent for your kids' health especially in Dubai where we often face sand and dust storms. Dust contains micro particles that can irritate the respiratory system, leading to coughs, sneezes, and even asthma symptoms, particularly in young children who spend more time on the floor playing.

In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, there are no strict laws mandating a specific frequency of cleaning, but it's highly advisable to keep your environment clean. After storms, it is crucial to act swiftly as the fine dust can pose immediate health risks.

Firstly, ensure you use the right tools and methods for thorough cleaning. Microfiber cloths and HEPA vacuum cleaners are effective in capturing tiny particles that regular vacuums might miss. Make sure to frequently wash these cloths with a damp cloth or replace them regularly.

Secondly, consider professional inspection services if dust levels seem excessively high or if you notice any health concerns among your children. Services like 800-MOLDS (or call 800-66537) can provide detailed assessments and recommendations based on local standards and practices.

Lastly, always ensure good ventilation when cleaning to prevent the air from becoming too dusty. Open windows or use an air purifier to help disperse dust particles as you clean.

Remember, a clean environment is key to promoting your children's health in Dubai's often sandy climate. Taking these steps will not only make your living space more comfortable but also reduce potential respiratory issues for them.

If you find it overwhelming to do this on your own, don't hesitate to reach out for professional help. Email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and get the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is safe for your family.
