Should I clean or hire professionals for dust?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the intense dust storm we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust collecting on every surface in our two-bedroom apartment. My kids have been complaining about their noses being stuffy, and I suspect it might be from all this dust. Given that it's getting colder outside and we'll need to keep the windows closed more often, should I consider hiring professional cleaning services or is there a cost-effective way to tackle this on my own?

Absolutely, I'd suggest considering both avenues. Given the circumstances and to ensure a thorough clean-up, it might be wise to delve into some practical steps you can take on your own, as well as considering professional help.
Firstly, let's tackle cleaning at home. You'll want to start by removing all the obvious dust – sweep or vacuum floors, use a damp cloth for surfaces that are not too rough like furniture and window sills. Be sure to clean out any nooks and crannies where dust can collect easily such as behind picture frames and in corners. If you have carpets, it’s crucial to deep clean them with a quality carpet cleaner to remove stubborn dirt and allergens. Ventilation is key; however, given the changing weather conditions, using air purifiers or HEPA filters could be beneficial. These devices help capture tiny particles that might otherwise remain suspended in your home. Also, try airing out your home when possible by opening windows for brief periods during mild days to let fresh air in and expel some of the stale indoor air. If your children are experiencing stuffy noses or other allergy symptoms, it’s advisable to have a professional inspection done. In the UAE, regulations can vary but it's generally recommended that you check with local authorities if there’s any concern about mold or other contaminants. A professional will be able to provide a thorough assessment and advice on necessary remediation. Professional services like those offered by Saniservice could come in handy here. They specialize in environmental inspection and remediation, ensuring your home is not only clean but also safe from potential allergens and pollutants. Their expertise can help identify any underlying issues that might be causing or contributing to the allergies. In terms of cost-effectiveness, DIY cleaning can save you some money but may not always provide the same level of thoroughness as a professional service. Professionals have access to specialized equipment and techniques that can make the process more efficient and effective. So, while DIY cleaning is an option, it might be worth your while to consider hiring professionals for peace of mind and ensuring all allergens are properly managed in your home environment. After all, keeping your family healthy should always take priority. Don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need more information or assistance. Remember, keeping a clean and hygienic living space is not only about aesthetics but also about maintaining good health, especially in the UAE where dust storms can be quite common. |
