Should I clean debris myself or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed an overwhelming amount of debris and dust accumulation in my living room. It's not something that can be handled with regular cleaning; it feels like a full-fledged deep clean is needed. Should I consider hiring professionals for this, or could it still be managed on our own?

Cleaning debris and dust after a heavy sandstorm can be quite the task, especially given the volume you've experienced. In dubai/uae, we often face such weather conditions which can lead to an accumulation of fine dust particles that are hard to remove through regular cleaning routines.

Firstly, before you decide whether to tackle this yourself or call in professionals, consider a few factors. The first being the extent of damage and safety concerns. If your living room is severely affected, with deep layers of dirt and sand, it might be wise to seek professional help. Professionals will have access to advanced cleaning tools like HEPA vacuums that can effectively remove fine particles without causing further harm.

Additionally, uae regulations require regular checks for indoor air quality, especially after such events. A professional inspection not only ensures thorough cleaning but also helps in assessing the condition of your air vents and other HVAC systems that might have been affected by the storm.

Moreover, deep cleaning tasks can be physically demanding, particularly when dealing with large areas. If you're concerned about the effort or simply want to avoid potential respiratory issues from breathing in fine particles, hiring professionals is a sensible choice. They are equipped with the necessary gear and techniques to handle such situations efficiently and hygienically.

However, if you opt for DIY cleaning, there are steps you can take to ensure thoroughness. Begin by wearing protective clothing like gloves and masks to prevent inhalation of dust. Use a combination of water and mild detergents for tough spots but be cautious about over-wetting surfaces which could lead to mold growth. For carpets and soft furnishings, consider using steam cleaning or professional-grade carpet cleaners.

In conclusion, while you can certainly take on this task yourself with the right precautions, hiring professionals might be more practical given the severity of the situation. If in doubt, a call to 800-MOLDS (or email hello@saniservice.com) could provide guidance tailored to your specific needs and ensure that your indoor environment meets uae standards for health and safety.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially post-storm, so take the necessary steps to keep your living space clean and healthy.
