What cleaning methods prevent allergy recurrence?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed an increase in sneezing and coughing, especially when I clean the bedroom. It’s like there's this invisible layer of dust everywhere, even after I’ve cleaned the room multiple times. Are there any specific cleaning techniques or products you recommend to prevent allergies from recurring?

Cleaning allergies can be quite the challenge, especially after dust storms. In dubai and UAE, we've seen an increase in allergy cases following such events, and it's important to take proactive steps to minimize discomfort. Here’s what you should consider for your cleaning routine.
Firstly, understanding that there are specific regulations and guidelines set by local authorities like the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) can be beneficial. These guidelines often recommend regular dusting and vacuuming with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to capture small particles. In Dubai, it's common for residents to have HEPA vacuums due to the sand and dust storms that frequent our region. When you're cleaning your bedroom, a few specific techniques can make a big difference: 1. Use microfiber cloths or damp cloth instead of dry ones to trap dust better. 2. Clean from top to bottom to avoid spreading dust around. 3. Take care not to disturb allergens by using gentle motions and methods. For those suffering from allergies post-dust storms, professional inspection is highly recommended. Saniservice, our company, can provide thorough inspections and remediation for your home or office environment. Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an appointment. Additionally, consider these products: 1. HEPA air purifiers which are widely available in local stores like Al Quoz Market and can help remove allergens from the air. 2. Steam cleaners for tougher stains that regular vacuums might miss. 3. Anti-allergen cleaning sprays such as those containing quaternary ammonium compounds, which are effective against dust mites. Lastly, maintaining a clean environment involves not only cleaning but also reducing clutter and sources of moisture in your home, both of which can contribute to mold growth. Mold is a serious issue in our region due to high humidity levels, so keeping your home dry and well-ventilated is crucial. Remember, prevention is key, and taking these steps will help reduce the recurrence of allergies. If you find that your symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical advice from a local healthcare provider who can offer personalized treatment options based on your specific condition. Hope this helps! |
