Should I clean dust storm damage myself or call professionals?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning up after a dust storm can indeed be quite the task, especially considering how much dust and debris it tends to leave behind. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, these storms can cause an influx of particles that settle on various surfaces, including your living room shelves and ceiling fans. While cleaning might seem like a straightforward DIY project, there are some considerations you should take into account.

Firstly, if the dust storm was severe, it's possible that not just dust but also small debris could have settled in hard-to-reach areas such as behind furniture or in corners of your living space. This can make the cleaning process more extensive and time-consuming than expected. For a thorough clean, especially given the scale you mentioned, it might be worth considering calling in professionals for assistance.

In Dubai, there are specific regulations concerning indoor air quality and cleanliness that businesses must adhere to, but as a homeowner, your primary focus would likely be on health and comfort rather than compliance with strict standards. However, ensuring your cleaning process doesn't inadvertently spread dust or any potential allergens around your home can still be important.

Professional cleaners in the UAE are experienced in handling such scenarios. They have access to specialized equipment like vacuums that can capture fine particles effectively without disturbing them too much. Additionally, professional services will ensure they use appropriate cleaning agents and techniques that won't damage surfaces or leave behind harmful residues.

However, if you decide to go down the DIY route, there are a few tips to keep in mind:
• Use a damp cloth rather than dry sweeping as it can release particles into the air.
• Wear a mask to avoid breathing in dust.
• Clean from top to bottom and start with high areas like ceiling fans before moving to lower shelves.

Lastly, if you notice any unusual odors or signs of mold growth after cleaning, it would be wise to seek further inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can offer professional mold inspections and remediation services should the need arise.

So while tackling this yourself might seem manageable, considering professional help could save time and ensure a thorough clean. Should you decide to go with professionals, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 800-MOLDS or via email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.
