Why won't vacuuming remove fine dust?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning better after dust storms can indeed be quite the challenge, especially in areas like Dubai where we experience these events. The issue you're facing is quite common and stems from the nature of fine dust particles. These particles are so tiny that they often float in the air or settle on surfaces without being easily visible. Vacuum cleaners may struggle to capture them due to their size.

In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai where there's a mix of desert and urban environments, fine dust can consist of sand particles, pollen, and other pollutants which are particularly challenging for standard vacuum cleaning methods. To tackle this issue effectively, here are some steps I recommend:

Firstly, consider using HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in your vacuum cleaner. These filters have a higher ability to trap fine dust and allergens compared to regular vacuums. If you don't already own one with HEPA filter capabilities, it might be worth investing as it can significantly improve the cleaning efficiency.

Secondly, a microfiber cloth or damp cloth may help in capturing these tiny particles when used along with vacuuming. Mopping floors gently with water and a mild detergent solution could also assist in removing fine dust from carpets and hard surfaces.

For those areas that continue to show signs of lingering dust despite these methods, I would recommend scheduling a professional inspection and cleaning service. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice can offer deep-cleaning services tailored for post-dust-storm conditions. Their expertise ensures that even the most stubborn layers of fine dust are removed.

Remember to keep windows closed during high dust events to prevent fresh dust from entering your home. Also, consider using air purifiers equipped with HEPA filters which can help reduce airborne particles in your indoor environment.

If you find yourself still struggling or if there's a noticeable increase in allergy symptoms after thorough cleaning, it might be time to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance.

Hope these tips help in making your home a dust-free haven again!
