How can I reduce dust accumulation in my office?« Back to Previous Page

Dust accumulation is indeed a common concern especially after the recent sandstorms. In Dubai and UAE, regulations like the Building Code of Abu Dhabi (BCAD) and Dubai Municipality's guidelines are quite strict about maintaining indoor air quality. But there’s a lot you can do to make your cleaning routine more effective.

Firstly, it would be wise to consider implementing an advanced air filtration system in your office. The UAE often experiences high levels of particulate matter due to sandstorms, and having an air purifier with a HEPA filter can significantly reduce airborne particles. This is especially important as the BCAD requires buildings to maintain clean indoor air environments.

Secondly, regular deep cleaning sessions are essential. A weekly or biweekly service might be necessary depending on your office space size and the number of people using it. This should include not just surface cleaning but also vacuuming carpets, dusting ledges, blinds, and even those hard-to-reach areas like behind furniture.

Thirdly, consider adopting a dust-free work practice. Encouraging staff to use mats at entry points can help reduce the amount of sand brought in from outside. Also, placing bins for waste paper and other debris close by can stop these items from accumulating on surfaces.

Another tip is to invest in quality cleaning products that are suitable for use in high-dust environments. In Dubai, you might find specialized brands which have formulations that work better against dust and grit.

Lastly, if you find it difficult to keep up with the routine or suspect that there may be more serious issues such as mold growth, a professional inspection is highly recommended. Contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) can provide you with expert advice and possibly needed interventions.
