Should I clean now or target specific areas?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it’s wise to address the dust situation now. Given the recent heavy dust storm and your kids' complaints of coughing, focusing on cleaning might be a prudent first step before considering any professional inspection.

Firstly, I'd recommend targeting specific areas initially rather than doing an all-out deep clean right away. The bedroom closet where you've noticed more dust bunnies is a good starting point. It’s important to ensure the environment there is as clean and healthy as possible for your kids. Here's how you can proceed:

1. Start by clearing out those pesky dust bunnies! Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to get into tight corners, and don’t forget to shake out any fabrics or cushions that have collected dust.

2. Once the closet is tidied up, check other areas where dust might accumulate, such as under beds, behind furniture, and even in less accessible spots like air vents or ceiling fans. Dusting these areas can help reduce allergens circulating in your home.

3. Focus on cleaning surfaces with a damp cloth to trap dust rather than simply spreading it around. This method is particularly effective for minimizing dust mites and other allergens that might be causing those coughs.

4. Don’t forget the bathroom and kitchen, as these areas tend to have higher moisture levels which can lead to mold growth. Check for any signs of mildew or dampness, especially in corners and behind appliances.

5. While you're at it, consider airing out your home by opening windows if possible, but make sure to keep an eye on the weather forecasts to avoid letting more dust in!

If after these steps you still feel concerned about indoor air quality or suspect mold growth, I strongly advise calling a professional for inspection. In Dubai/UAE, companies like Saniservice offer reliable services and can provide peace of mind with their expertise.
