Why is dust accumulating faster despite regular cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I’ve noticed a persistent layer of fine gray dust settling on everything in my living room. It’s especially noticeable on the white curtains and the leather sofa. Despite cleaning regularly, it seems to accumulate faster than I can get rid of it. How can I prevent this dust from building up so quickly?

Dust accumulation can indeed be perplexing, especially after regular cleaning. In the UAE, particulate matter from dust storms can really take its toll on indoor environments. However, there are several factors that could contribute to your issue.

Firstly, it's important to consider the climate in Dubai and the surrounding areas. The high temperatures and humidity levels coupled with frequent sandstorms can cause a rapid build-up of fine particles indoors. These conditions are particularly challenging as they allow dust to settle faster than usual.

Regular cleaning is crucial, but there are some strategies you can adopt to reduce the accumulation of dust:
1. Use microfiber cloths or damp cleaning methods which tend to trap more dust and allergens.
2. Ensure your air conditioning filters are clean; this not only improves air quality but also reduces airborne particles in your home.
3. Consider using HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum cleaners, as they can capture smaller particles that might escape other vacuums.

Also, consider the location of furniture and curtains within your living space. Items placed near windows or entry points may be more exposed to incoming dust from outside. Regularly rotating these items could help in reducing exposure.

Moreover, it’s worth checking if there are any gaps or openings in your building envelope, like cracks around doors, windows, or even electrical outlets. These can allow external particles to enter and settle inside your home.

For serious cases where you feel the dust accumulation is excessive despite following all the above measures, a professional inspection might be necessary.
