Should I replace filters more often or use an air purifier?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be trapping dust from our carpets and furniture, especially after we clean for Ramadan. Every night, when the air conditioning kicks in full blast, it feels like a cloud of fine particles is being blown into the room where my kids sleep. It's making their coughing worse, and I’m worried about their health. Should I be replacing filters more frequently or using some kind of air purifier?

Absolutely, the situation you're experiencing is quite common during the warm months in dubai. When we clean for ramadan, especially with a heavy dusting and vacuuming regimen, it's easy to stir up allergens like fine particles from carpets and furniture that your AC system hasn't been able to catch.
Firstly, i'd recommend checking the filters on your air conditioning unit. In the uae, it’s a good practice to replace or clean these at least every 3 months; however, during ramadan when there's increased cleaning activity, you might want to bump this up to once a month. Dirty filters can actually make things worse by forcing the AC system to work harder and push more dust into your home. But if you find that despite your best efforts, you're still dealing with an issue, consider investing in a high-quality air purifier. These are specifically designed to capture fine particles, allergens, and other irritants. In dubai, look for models that come with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters; they can remove up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. Additionally, keep windows shut during the day if you're worried about pollen or outdoor dust making its way inside. And remember, regular cleaning isn’t just about vacuuming – make sure to dust all surfaces and use microfiber cloths that trap more allergens than traditional materials. It’s also a good idea to have your entire indoor environment inspected by professionals. In the uae, companies like saniservice can help identify any hidden issues that might be contributing to poor air quality. They can offer tailored solutions such as mold remediation if necessary and provide ongoing advice on maintaining a healthy home environment during ramadan and beyond. If you find yourself struggling or concerned about your family's health, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional assistance.
