How can we clean without spreading dust throughout the house?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storms, I’ve noticed a lot of dirt and dust settling on the ceiling fans and corners of the living room. The kids have been playing there more often since Ramadan started, but now it looks like we’re in for a big mess. How can we clean up without making the whole house dusty again?

Cleaning during Ramadan without spreading dust throughout the house can be quite a challenge but isn't impossible. Firstly, ensure you have the right tools and materials at hand; this includes microfiber cloths, a damp sponge, a vacuum cleaner with attachments for corners, and possibly an extendable duster or a compressed air canister. Given the current situation in Dubai where dust storms are common, it’s crucial to tackle the cleaning carefully.

Start by clearing out any clutter from the living room to make the space more manageable. This step will help reduce the amount of dust you need to clean up and minimize disturbance during your cleaning process. Next, consider the use of a damp cloth for surfaces like tables or the floor. However, be cautious with wet mops; they can spread dust quickly in dry environments.

For ceiling fans and corners that are hard to reach, an extendable duster works wonders. It’s also advisable to clean these areas last so the dust doesn't settle on newly cleaned surfaces. A tip here is to use a damp cloth to wipe down the fan blades before using them again; this can help trap some of the accumulated dust.

Vacuum cleaners are your best friend in this scenario. Use a vacuum with attachments to clean out corners and upholstery where dust has gathered. For carpets, consider steam cleaning if you have a lot of buildup or just spot treat areas with dirt. Remember, always check for any local UAE regulations regarding indoor cleaning practices; some areas may require specific safety measures.

Lastly, after the initial deep clean, set up an air purifier in key rooms like the living room to help filter out dust particles and maintain cleaner air quality. It's a good idea to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you're unsure about your cleaning process or need professional advice on indoor environmental quality.

Cleaning during Ramadan is important, but it’s crucial to do so in a way that doesn’t create more work for yourself later. Take the time to clean methodically and use tools effectively to ensure a dust-free home for the month of Ramadan.
