Should I handle dust cloud myself or call an expert?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorms we had last week, I’ve noticed a persistent dust cloud hovering around the corner of our living room. It’s not just visible; it seems to be causing some sneezing and coughing in my kids. I’m wondering if this is something I can handle myself or if I need to call in an expert?

Handling dust clouds can sometimes be more complicated than it seems. In dubai, the high frequency of sandstorms can indeed cause significant particulate matter that might not just settle but also remain suspended in indoor air. This is especially concerning for children who are more susceptible to respiratory issues.

Firstly, you should consider if your symptoms and those of your kids align with common reactions to dust or allergens. If sneezing and coughing persist, it's wise to have a professional inspection done. The UAE doesn’t enforce specific regulations on indoor air quality but ensuring good ventilation and cleanliness is crucial.

You might try tackling the issue yourself by:

1. Using a high-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA) vacuum cleaner to clean carpets and upholstery.
2. Regularly dusting surfaces with microfiber cloths to capture fine particles.
3. Opening windows when possible to let in fresh air, but keep an eye on outdoor conditions due to sandstorms.
4. Using air purifiers that can help reduce airborne particulates.

However, if these steps don’t seem to alleviate the issue or you start noticing more severe symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, or persistent coughs, it’s best to call in a professional. At Saniservice, we have experts who can perform detailed air quality testing and recommend appropriate actions to ensure your indoor environment is healthy.

Remember that when dust storms are particularly bad, keeping windows tightly closed and using an air purifier with a HEPA filter can be very beneficial. But don't neglect regular cleaning and maintaining good ventilation whenever the weather permits.
