Should I clean dust bunnies myself or hire a pro?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning dust bunnies yourself can be quite manageable and doesn't necessarily require a professional touch. However, the specifics of your office's cleanliness situation will guide you on whether to tackle it solo or seek expert assistance.

First off, let’s talk about UAE-specific regulations and guidelines. The General Standards Authority - Consumer Protection (GSA) in the UAE doesn’t have strict rules regarding indoor dust levels for offices unless they are designated as healthcare facilities. But keeping a clean and hygienic environment is definitely recommended to maintain good air quality, which can impact productivity.

For everyday cleaning of your office area, you should consider these steps:

1. Gather Supplies: You will need a vacuum cleaner with attachments (specifically designed for upholstery or tight spaces), microfiber cloths, and possibly a damp cloth if there's stubborn dirt.
2. Focus on High-Touch Areas: Dust your desk, phone, computer screen, and keyboard regularly to keep these items hygienic and dust-free.
3. Under the Desk: Use the vacuum cleaner’s hose or attachments to suck up those pesky dust bunnies under your desk. Don't forget to clean around the base of your chair legs too!
4. Air Quality: If you notice that the air feels stale, ensure that your office has good ventilation or consider adding a few indoor plants to help with air purification.

Now, if after following these steps you still feel like the air quality is poor or there’s an unusual musty smell, it may be time to call in the professionals. Stale air could indicate mold growth or other issues which might need expert attention.

Remember, regular cleaning and maintenance can prevent more serious problems down the line. But if you're unsure about anything, don’t hesitate to reach out for a professional inspection.
