Should I clean nursery daily after dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed an unusually high amount of dust collecting on every surface in our nursery. The windowsill by my son's crib is particularly bad; there’s a layer of fine grit that looks like sand. Given how urgent it is to keep their environment clean and safe, should I be cleaning the nursery daily or can this wait until after we move out some of their toys?

Absolutely, it's crucial to prioritize the cleanliness of your nursery following such severe weather conditions. In Dubai and the UAE, regulations emphasize creating a healthy environment for children, especially as they are more susceptible to pollutants due to their breathing habits.

After that dust storm, you should definitely start cleaning the nursery daily. Dust accumulation like what you've noticed can pose health risks, particularly if it contains sand particles or other grit which could be harmful if ingested by your child. Given the situation, I'd recommend a thorough clean-up right away to ensure immediate safety.

Start by removing any loose debris using a soft-bristled brush or vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter. This will help trap fine dust and allergens that can irritate sensitive respiratory systems. Next, wipe down surfaces gently but thoroughly. Be sure to include those hard-to-reach areas like window sills where you mentioned the grit had settled.

For the windowsill near your son's crib, consider using a damp cloth or a microfiber cloth for extra effectiveness without leaving streaks. If the sand particles are stubborn, a gentle application of water mixed with mild detergent might do the trick. Just be sure to dry everything promptly after cleaning to avoid moisture build-up which could lead to mold growth.

While daily cleaning is necessary now, you can consider setting up a more structured routine moving forward. Perhaps establish specific times for quick clean-ups throughout the day and allocate one or two days each week for deeper cleaning tasks like replacing filters in your nursery's air purifier if it has one.

It’s also advisable to keep an eye on your child’s health during this period. If you notice any unusual symptoms, such as a cough, runny nose, or skin irritation, seek medical advice promptly.

In case of serious concerns about indoor air quality, don't hesitate to contact professional services like Saniservice at 800-66537 (hello@saniservice.com) for inspections and remediation. They can provide expert guidance tailored to the unique conditions in Dubai.

Remember, a clean environment is key to keeping your little one healthy and happy!
