Is persistent haze indoors mold or dust mites?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a persistent haze in my son’s room even after we cleaned everything. The air feels thick and seems to irritate his breathing, especially at night when the windows are closed. My wife and I are worried about what might be causing this. Could it be mold or dust mites? What can we do to improve the indoor air quality in our home?

Is persistent haze indoors mold or dust mites? It's tough to pinpoint without testing. In dubai and uae, we've seen a variety of issues that can lead to such symptoms. Mold and dust mites are two common culprits but there might be other factors at play too.
Firstly, it’s important to understand the signs of mold and dust mites. Mold thrives in damp environments - think bathrooms or poorly ventilated areas. Dust mites prefer warm, humid conditions and can thrive in bedding, carpets, and curtains. Both can irritate the respiratory system, leading to uncomfortable breathing especially during nighttime. Given your situation where the air feels thick and irritating, it's wise to get an indoor air quality inspection done. The uae has specific regulations around building standards and environmental health, but a professional can help identify if mold or dust mites are indeed causing issues in your home. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation with a local expert who can conduct tests and provide tailored advice. They may recommend moisture testing in areas like bathrooms or kitchen to check for mold, and they could also use air samplers to detect dust mite allergens. To start improving your home's indoor air quality in the meantime: • Regularly clean surfaces and vacuum using a HEPA filter • Use dehumidifiers to keep humidity levels down, especially if you live in areas prone to high moisture • Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible or using exhaust fans • Wash bedding weekly in hot water to kill dust mites • Replace carpet with hard flooring where feasible and clean regularly If the problem persists, a professional inspection is key. It’s not just about fixing the immediate issue but also ensuring long-term solutions that keep your family safe from indoor air pollutants. Take action today to breathe easier tomorrow! |
