Should I clean allergens myself or seek help?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of dust and mold spores floating around my bedroom window. Even though we had it cleaned a few months ago, now there seems to be a constant layer of dust on everything, especially in corners and behind furniture. The sneezing and coughing have been really bad, and I’m not sure if this is just seasonal or something more. Do you think I can handle cleaning all these allergens myself, or should I consider professional help?

Absolutely understand your concern about the allergens floating around. It's vital to address this promptly for your comfort and health. Given the recent rains in Dubai which can indeed increase mold spores, it is essential to evaluate both your cleaning abilities and the situation at hand.

Firstly, inspecting the level of contamination is key. In Dubai, there are no specific regulations mandating professional cleaning after rain; however, the UAE generally recommends that significant levels of dust or mold require a thorough clean-up. You mentioned noticing an increased layer of dust in corners and behind furniture – this could indicate a more serious issue than just seasonal allergies.

DIY cleaning can be effective for minor issues, but for persistent allergens like those you’ve noticed, professional help might be necessary. A comprehensive inspection by experts would ensure that all areas are properly assessed and cleaned, reducing the risk of ongoing health issues.

When tackling the dust and mold yourself, start with basic steps:
• Wear a mask to protect your respiratory system
• Use damp cloths or a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner to avoid spreading spores
• Focus on high-touch surfaces and areas prone to moisture like windowsills and corners

However, for more extensive cleaning or if you’re experiencing severe symptoms like continuous sneezing and coughing, it's wise to call in professionals. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer specialized services that can handle mold remediation and deep cleaning.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection and consultation. They have the expertise and equipment to safely manage your indoor environment ensuring a healthier living space for you and your family.

Remember, prevention is key in maintaining good indoor air quality especially post-rain events. Regular checks and proactive cleaning can help avoid recurring issues.

Hope this helps!
