Should I hire pros for deep cleaning due to asthma concerns?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve noticed my son’s asthma is acting up more than usual. The carpets in our living room are looking particularly dirty now that I’ve cleaned them with a vacuum, but it feels like there’s still some lingering dust in the corners and on the furniture. Given that we’re already seeing an increase in his symptoms, should I consider hiring professionals to clean not just the visible dirt, but also deep cleaning the vents and other hidden areas?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring professionals for deep cleaning given the recent dust storms and your son’s asthma flare-ups. In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial as we often experience high levels of particulate matter due to dust and sand storms.

Firstly, let me highlight that the UAE doesn't have specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality for households, but it's recommended you follow best practices to ensure your home remains a healthy environment. Asthma triggers like dust mites, mold spores, and pet dander can worsen symptoms especially during periods of high air pollution.

Professional cleaners in Dubai are equipped with advanced tools such as HEPA vacuum cleaners that can capture fine particles including those found in corners and on furniture. They also use techniques to clean vents which might be a hidden source of irritants. These professionals typically also offer services like mold inspections, which is particularly important considering the climate conditions here.

Moreover, professional cleaning teams follow strict protocols to ensure they don't just clean surfaces but tackle the root of the problem by removing deep-seated dirt and allergens. This can include steam cleaning carpets, treating upholstery, and even addressing air quality issues through thorough ventilation checks.

If you're concerned about your son's health or if his symptoms are severe, it might be beneficial to get a professional indoor environmental inspection. Such inspections can identify potential triggers and provide tailored recommendations for maintaining better indoor air quality moving forward. You can contact companies like Saniservice by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com.

In the meantime, you could try using an air purifier with a HEPA filter to help manage indoor allergens until you can address the sources of your son's symptoms. Remember, keeping up with regular cleaning routines and addressing any issues promptly can significantly reduce your family’s exposure to triggers that can exacerbate asthma.

So yes, it would be wise to hire professionals for this deep clean and consider getting an inspection too. Your health is priority, so take steps now to ensure a healthier living environment.
