Is dusty restaurant space harming family's health?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our restaurant space at home in Dubai, which turned out to be quite dusty, my family has started showing signs of respiratory issues. Even with frequent cleaning, there seems to be a lingering dust that gets into the air when we’re preparing meals. My kids have been coughing more frequently since the change, and I’m worried it might be related. Have anyone else experienced similar issues in their restaurant spaces at home, or do you have any tips on how to keep the environment clean enough for my family’s sake?

Absolutely dusty restaurant spaces can indeed harm your family's health. The renovation you've undergone might have introduced microscopic particles and allergens into the air that are difficult to remove through regular cleaning alone. In fact, I've heard from several colleagues dealing with similar issues in local restaurants.

In Dubai, there isn't a specific regulation requiring post-renovation cleanings for residential spaces like yours, but it's highly recommended to ensure your home environment remains healthy and safe. The dust you're noticing could be containing remnants of construction materials or even mold spores which can lead to respiratory irritations, coughing, and other health issues.

First step would be to have a thorough inspection by professionals who understand the local environmental regulations and standards for indoor air quality. A reputable company like Saniservice in Dubai offers professional mold testing and remediation services that could help identify if there are any hidden sources of contamination. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to book an appointment.

In the meantime, try implementing some practical measures at home:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows when possible
• Use a HEPA air purifier which can capture tiny particles and allergens
• Regularly clean surfaces with solutions that have mold inhibitors
• Consider using microfiber cloths and mops for dusting and cleaning
• Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might release harmful fumes. Opt for natural products instead.
• Keep pets out of dining areas if you suspect their dander is contributing to the problem

Remember, keeping a clean and healthy environment in your home is crucial especially with kids around. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to consult a healthcare professional who can provide appropriate advice based on individual family health needs.

By taking these steps now, you'll be safeguarding both your family’s well-being and your peace of mind.
