Developed nations all around the world suffer from poor Air Quality Index (AQI) levels, and Dubai is no exception. Luckily professional cleaning services in Dubai have proven to improve air quality inside the home.
But there are some things you need to understand about deep cleaning services because not all of them improve the air quality.
Common Indoor Pollutants Affecting Your Health
Indoor air may seem clean at first look, but what seems invisible to the naked eye may cause harm to your body.
- Dust and Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10)
Household dust contains dead skin cells, fabric fibers, pollen, and even microscopic insect droppings. PM2.5 and PM10 are very fine and can penetrate deep into your lungs.
- Pet Dander
The tiny skin flakes (dander) from your pets mix with dust and settle on furniture, carpets, and air vents.
- Mold Spores and Fungal Growth
Damp areas like bathrooms and kitchens make it easier for mold to grow. Mold spores like Aspergillus and Penicillium can spread through the air.
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
VOCs are invisible chemical pollutants emitted by air fresheners, paint, cleaning sprays, and even furniture. Chances are, indoor air has 2 to 5 times more VOC levels than outdoor air.
- Microplastics in the Air
Synthetic fabrics, packaging, and some plastic items can produce airborne microplastics in homes.
- Outdoor Pollutants Entering Indoors
Vehicle emissions, Construction dust, and industrial chemicals are very common in Dubai
- Airborne Bacteria and Viruses
Pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus can linger on surfaces and circulate in the air.
Can Professional Cleaning Services Remove Hidden Allergens and Pollutants?
Yes. Even though the name “professional cleaning services”, suggests cleaning only, an added benefit is disinfection. Indoor air quality improvement is just one of the many benefits of professional cleaning.
Deep cleaning services in Dubai eliminate all kinds of contaminants like dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and VOC residues. You’ll have to sanitize sofas and deep clean carpets to get rid of them.
But how does Deep Cleaning remove air pollutants?
The magic of deep cleaning lies in indirectly removing the root causes of contaminants that cause indoor air pollution.
- Mattresses and Upholstery cleaning: The American Lung Association found that soft furnishings can hold up to 100,000 dust mites per square meter.
- Carpets and Rugs cleaning service: Studies show that carpets accumulate 5–10 times more dust and pollutants than hard floors. High-efficiency vacuuming and steam cleaning remove deep-seated dirt.
- Curtains and Blinds: These fabric surfaces absorb VOCs and airborne toxins over time.
One of our customers said that they used to vacuum their Dubai home every week, but when they finally booked Ecofix professional cleaning services they were shocked to see the amount of dust that we pulled out from their carpets and mattresses. After our first visit itself, their constant sinus infections went out the roof.
Specialized Equipment and Techniques for Allergen Removal
As the best cleaning company in Dubai, Ecofix uses state-of-the-art cleaning tools to target allergens and improve indoor air quality:
- HEPA vacuums
- Steam cleaning
- UV sanitation
In our tests, we found a 60% reduction in airborne allergens compared to other cleaning services in Dubai.
How Do Air Duct Cleaning Services Improve Air Circulation?
Air ducts are technically concealed, but if the insides are not clean, the air they bring into your home reduces the indoor air quality. But dust, pet hair, mold spores, and even rodent droppings accumulate inside air ducts.
Indoor air can get 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Unless you have an air purifier, the air that your HVAC system brings in is responsible for most contaminants. You may not even know it until you check it using AQI measuring instruments.
Ecofix’s top cleaning services in Dubai also include air duct cleaning, so every breath you take is fresh and free from any contaminants.
Why Choose Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions to improve home air quality?
If you’re anyway investing in professional cleaning services in Dubai, then make a wise choice and go with eco-friendly cleaning solutions like Ecofix. It’s one of the best decisions you can make for indoor air quality.
Cleaning products usually have VOCs, which evaporate into the air and worsen indoor pollution. That’s how VOC levels indoors can go up to 10 times higher than outdoors, even though your home just got a deep clean.
One of our frequent clients explained how she used to get wheezy every time she mopped the floors. But after a deep clean by Ecofix, which included way more than mopping the floor, she didn’t feel that suffocation anymore.
But are Eco-Friendly Cleaning products as good as chemical cleaners?
Usually cleaning companies use powerful chemical products for faster cleaning, and may use eco-friendly cleaning solutions upon request. So after they’re gone, your home may look clean, but the air quality is a different story.
But Ecofix is different. As Dubai cleaning experts, all our cleaning products are eco-friendly, and are as effective, if not more than chemical products.
- Plant-based or enzyme-based cleaners break down dirt without releasing toxic fumes.
- Microfiber cloths reduce the need for chemical cleaners by trapping dust and allergens.
- Essential oil-based disinfectants (like tea tree or eucalyptus oil) are naturally antibacterial.
How Often Should You Schedule Professional Cleaning for Good Air Quality?
Unfortunately, air isn’t something that we can control. We have to clean it often. And how often depends on a few things.
- 3-6 months – homes with pets, allergies, or high dust accumulation.
- 6-12 months – Most households with average foot traffic.
- 1-2 years – Minimum recommended for deep cleaning carpets and upholstery.
