Should I clean dust storms damage myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the dust storm aftermath can definitely wreak havoc on your indoor environment. In Dubai and UAE, it's quite common to see heavy dust accumulation after such storms. It’s understandable that you're concerned about the health effects of all this dust, especially for your kids.

Firstly, if the situation is severe or if you have any doubts regarding the safety of your living space, I would recommend hiring professionals. The UAE has strict regulations concerning indoor air quality and mold prevention, which can be challenging to meet without expert assistance. If you decide to go with a professional cleaning service, they will likely follow the guidelines set by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and other regulatory bodies.

To handle it yourself, start by using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner on your carpets and furniture. Ensure you clean every nook and cranny of your living room, especially corners where dust tends to accumulate. For surfaces like sofas or armchairs, consider using a microfiber cloth with a damp solution (but avoid water directly as it might damage the fabric). Opening windows for ventilation can also help, but make sure to close them before heavy dust storms hit.

However, if you notice persistent issues such as ongoing sniffles in your kids, or if you're unsure about how thoroughly you've cleaned, it’s best to call a professional. Here at Saniservice, we offer comprehensive indoor air quality checks and cleaning services that are tailored to the local conditions of Dubai. Our team uses specialized equipment like advanced vacuums and microfiber tools designed for deep cleaning in dusty environments.

Typically, the cost of a cleaning service can range from AED 150 to AED 300 depending on the size of your living room and the extent of the cleanup needed. For more serious cases, like if mold is suspected or present, the costs could be higher as remediation processes are more complex.

In any case, maintaining regular cleaning practices will help keep your home dust-free in future. Consider setting up a schedule for deep cleans every few months to prevent such situations from becoming overwhelming again.

So, whether you decide to tackle this yourself or go with professionals, make sure the job is done right! If you need further assistance or have any concerns, feel free to call 800-MOLDS (66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.
