What's causing persistent dust in my home?« Back to Previous Page

The dust issue you're experiencing could be due to several factors. In the UAE, especially during sandstorms like the one last month, airborne particulates can easily find their way into your home and settle on surfaces, despite regular cleaning efforts.

Firstly, it's important to consider the air quality in Dubai itself. Dust storms are a common occurrence, particularly during certain seasons. These storms can carry fine particles that may not be captured by typical AC filters. In such cases, you might want to seek professional assistance for an inspection to ensure there aren't other sources of dust that need addressing.

Another factor could be the materials used in your home’s construction or furnishings. Some materials and finishes can release tiny fibers into the air, especially when disturbed. Carpets, rugs, and even certain types of paint or sealants might contribute to this issue.

Furthermore, the presence of mold spores and other microorganisms in your living space could exacerbate respiratory issues like itchy eyes and coughing. Mold thrives in damp environments and can be a significant source of indoor air pollution. A professional inspection for mold is advisable if you suspect its presence or are experiencing allergic reactions.

To prevent dust from recurring, consider implementing the following measures:

1. Regular Deep Cleaning: Use microfiber cloths which trap more dust than traditional cloths. Dust all surfaces thoroughly and regularly.
2. Use of HEPA Filters: Install a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter in your air conditioning or ventilation system to capture finer particles that might bypass standard filters.
3. Sealing Gaps: Seal any gaps around windows, doors, and electrical outlets where dust can enter from outside.
4. Humidity Control: Maintain an ideal humidity level of 40-60% using a dehumidifier or humidifier to prevent mold growth.

If the issue persists despite these steps, it might be time to call in professionals for a comprehensive inspection.
