Cleaning Methods Reduce Dust and Allergens

After the heavy dust storm we had couple weeks ago, i've noticed an alarming amount of dust acculumating on our window sills and in corners. My family has been complaining of stuffy noses and frequent coughing, especially when we first wake up in the mornings. Given the recent weather and these health concerns, it's important to take proactive measures to reduce allergens and improve air quality.

To start with, using a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum cleaner is highly recommended as they trap tiny particles that regular vacuums miss. In Dubai, we recommend using HEPA filters in your home's ventilation system if possible, to ensure outdoor dust is filtered before it enters the building. This can be especially beneficial given our climatic conditions.

For surfaces like windowsills and corners, a microfiber cloth works wonders as they trap dust without spreading it around. You might want to consider making a solution of warm water and mild detergent for wiping down these areas. Avoid using harsh chemicals unless necessary; sometimes simple solutions work best.

Regular cleaning is key, but don’t forget about less obvious spots like ceiling fans, vents, and behind furniture where dust can easily gather. Pay attention to areas with high traffic or where pets spend a lot of time as they can also contribute to allergen accumulation.

Regarding products, you might find that natural remedies such as baking soda or vinegar are effective in cleaning without introducing harsh chemicals into your home. However, if your situation seems out of control or if your family members continue to experience health issues, it's wise to contact a professional for an inspection and remediation.
