Are additional dust control measures recommended?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our living room, we’ve noticed a persistent dust problem that’s causing sneezing fits in my family. The municipality guidelines suggest using specific cleaning methods to prevent allergens, but I’m not sure if what we’re doing is enough. We vacuum and wipe surfaces regularly, but it seems like more needs to be done to keep the air clean. What additional measures should we take according to the local municipality guidelines to ensure our home remains dust-free and healthy for everyone?

Absolutely, additional dust control measures are indeed recommended based on the UAE's stringent environmental and health guidelines. Given your situation in Dubai, it is crucial to ensure that you're following the correct procedures to maintain a healthy living environment after renovation.

The Municipality of Dubai's Environmental Health Regulations mandate strict protocols for indoor air quality management. These guidelines emphasize regular cleaning practices but also recommend additional measures beyond routine dusting and vacuuming. For instance, employing HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in your HVAC system can significantly reduce airborne particulates including allergens.

Moreover, incorporating regular deep cleaning sessions using microfiber cloths and damp mops is essential to capture finer particles that dry cleaning might miss. It's advisable to use a specialized cleaning solution recommended by the manufacturer of your furniture or surfaces for optimal results without causing damage.

In cases where allergen levels persist despite these measures, professional inspection is highly suggested. Saniservice, our in-house expert team, can provide thorough dust and mold assessments using advanced technologies like air quality monitors and swab sampling to pinpoint sources of contamination accurately.

Regular airing out your home by opening windows for fresh air exchange also helps reduce indoor pollutants. However, this should be done cautiously during high-pollen or dust storms. Utilizing air purifiers with activated carbon filters can further enhance air purification.

Lastly, considering the UAE's climate, maintaining optimal humidity levels (ideally between 40-60%) is key to preventing mold growth which often exacerbates allergens and other health issues. You may use dehumidifiers in high-risk areas like bathrooms or kitchens if necessary.

Remember, your family's health is paramount. If symptoms persist despite these efforts, do not hesitate to contact our professional team at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for further assistance.
