Should I clean balcony myself or hire help?« Back to Previous Page

After the summer heat wave this past month, my balcony has accumulated a lot of dust and cobwebs. The furniture is covered in a fine layer of sand, and it’s starting to feel like we’re living in a mini desert out there! Should I try cleaning everything myself or is it better to hire someone for this job?

Absolutely, cleaning your balcony after the intense summer heat can be quite the task. Given the accumulation of dust and cobwebs along with that fine layer of sand it sounds like you're dealing with an environment not too dissimilar to a desert! Before jumping into DIY clean up though, there are some factors worth considering.

Firstly, in the UAE, especially in places like Dubai, it’s important to ensure that any cleaning agents or products used comply with local regulations. For example, certain chemicals might have specific guidelines for use and disposal. However, for a straightforward dusting and light cleaning task such as yours, you're unlikely to encounter issues.

If you decide to tackle this yourself, equip yourself with the right tools: a good quality vacuum cleaner (preferably one that filters fine particles well), microfiber cloths or sponges, and possibly some gentle cleaner. It’s also smart to wear a mask to protect against inhaling dust, especially if the sand is quite powdery.

However, given the extent of your tasks—cleaning furniture, removing cobwebs, and dealing with accumulated dirt—it might be more efficient and ultimately less time-consuming to hire professional help. Companies in Dubai like Saniservice are well-equipped to handle such tasks professionally. They have the right tools, techniques, and sometimes even specialized equipment for cleaning surfaces thoroughly.

Professional cleaners can also provide a deeper clean that you might miss if doing it yourself. Plus, they know how to deal with all types of debris effectively without causing damage or spreading dust around. Plus, in case there are any hidden issues like mold growth, which can be quite common after such weather changes, having a professional inspect the area is highly recommended.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection and quote if you decide to go this route. They'll ensure your balcony not only looks clean but also remains healthy and safe.

Remember, when dealing with such tasks in Dubai’s climate, it's crucial to maintain a safe environment. Good luck!
