How can I prevent dust and webs during heatwaves?« Back to Previous Page

After the heatwave last week, I noticed a layer of dust and spider webs accumulating on the corners of my living room windows. The air feels heavier than usual, and it’s hard to keep up with the cleaning despite running the AC more often. How can I prevent this buildup from happening again during the summer months?

Cleaning summer can indeed be a big challenge especially when the heatwaves strike! In Dubai and other parts of the UAE, the intense sun and high humidity during these periods can cause dust and spider webs to gather more quickly than usual. Here are some practical steps you can take to minimize this issue:
Firstly, ensure your air conditioning system is in top shape. Regular maintenance by a professional can help prevent mold growth and improve overall indoor air quality. The UAE has strict building codes that require AC systems to be inspected annually for efficiency and safety; consider scheduling an inspection during the early summer months. Secondly, use HEPA filters in your HVAC units. These filters are designed specifically to trap tiny particles like dust mites and spores, which can significantly reduce the amount of allergens circulating through your home. Make sure to replace these filters as recommended by the manufacturer or at least every three months during peak summer conditions. Thirdly, invest in a high-quality vacuum cleaner equipped with HEPA filters for cleaning carpets and upholstery. This will help remove dust that may settle on surfaces not directly visible like corners behind curtains or under furniture. Fourth, make a habit of wiping down window sills, frames, and other hard surfaces weekly during summer months. A microfiber cloth dipped in warm water works wonders here. Be sure to dry the areas thoroughly to prevent moisture from attracting more dust. Lastly, consider hiring professionals for regular deep cleaning sessions. Saniservice.com offers specialized services that can help maintain your home's cleanliness even when you're busy with work or other commitments. Their team is equipped with state-of-the-art tools and products suitable for Dubai’s climate. Remember, keeping up with these practices will not only reduce dust but also improve the overall comfort of your living space during those sweltering summer days.
