Cleaning allergies can be quite common especially in environments like Dubai where high humidity and warm temperatures can promote the growth of mold, dust mites, and other allergens. The signs of cleaning allergies may include symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, respiratory issues, or even skin rashes. In your case, these could very well be linked to indoor air quality problems.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's important to keep an eye out for these symptoms because of our unique climate and environment. High humidity levels can lead to increased mold growth which is one of the main culprits when it comes to cleaning allergies. Mold spores floating through your home’s air can trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate existing conditions.

To check if your family's health issues are indeed related to cleaning allergies, consider having a professional inspection done. In Dubai and the UAE, there are regulations in place that govern indoor environmental quality, but these might not be stringent enough on their own to pinpoint specific allergens without proper testing. A qualified expert can conduct air quality tests and identify potential triggers such as mold or dust mites.

If you decide to have an inspection done, call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional service. They will be able to assess your home’s indoor air quality and provide recommendations on how to improve it.

In the meantime, you can take some basic steps to reduce allergens in your home:

1. Regularly clean surfaces using microfiber cloths which are good at trapping dirt and dust.
2. Use a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum cleaner that captures tiny particles like pollen, mold spores, and dust mite debris.
3. Keep humidity levels low by running dehumidifiers or air conditioners to prevent mold growth.
4. Consider using natural cleaning products which are less likely to release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air.

Remember, while these steps can help mitigate some issues, a professional inspection is key in understanding and addressing specific allergens that might be affecting your family's health.

If you suspect that your symptoms could be caused by indoor pollutants or mold, don’t hesitate to call for an inspection. Your health is important, so taking proactive measures can make a big difference.
