When should I clean without disrupting Ramadan prayers?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning during Ramadan can indeed be a challenge, but it's crucial to maintain a hygienic environment. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience dust storms that leave behind layers of fine dust on surfaces and windowsills—just like you've described. It’s important to address this, especially since the sandstorm last month has left a considerable amount of debris.

Firstly, it's essential to prioritize areas that get more exposure or are more prone to accumulation. Windowsills can indeed become quite dirty due to their location, so focusing on those might be a good start. However, you want to avoid disrupting your daily prayers and fasts during Ramadan. Here’s what I recommend:

1. Timing: Try to plan your deep cleaning sessions when the mosque calls are finished or just before Suhoor (the predawn meal). This way, you can quickly clean up without delaying your prayers.

2. Quick Wins: Tackle smaller tasks first—like wiping down surfaces with a damp cloth to remove visible dust and debris. You can do this throughout the day as part of your daily routine rather than one big cleaning session.

3. Deep Cleaning Days: Consider dedicating specific days for more thorough cleaning. For example, you could choose two or three afternoons in a row where you focus solely on deep cleaning without fasting. This approach allows you to make significant progress while still maintaining your religious obligations.

4. Professional Help: If the dust and debris have become overwhelming, it might be wise to seek professional help. Companies like Saniservice are well equipped to handle such situations. They offer services tailored for residential areas in Dubai and can provide a thorough clean without disrupting your schedule too much. Remember though that due to Ramadan schedules, you may want to coordinate the service with them beforehand.

5. Regular Maintenance: After the initial deep clean, try to establish a regular maintenance routine. Quick dusting sessions during the day or early morning can help keep things tidy and prevent a large build-up of dust.

Lastly, always ensure that any cleaning products used are safe for use in your home, especially around food preparation areas. In case you find yourself dealing with persistent issues such as mold growth due to humidity, it would be advisable to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional inspection and remediation.

By following these guidelines, you can keep your living space clean and hygienic while respecting the sanctity of Ramadan.
