Should I remind the landlord about carpet cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's quite common for carpets to accumulate dust and dirt especially after events like the recent heavy dust storm. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, landlords are typically responsible for maintaining a clean environment within office spaces. However, this doesn't always mean they keep up with regular carpet cleaning.

In my experience, it would be wise to bring this matter to your landlord's attention. A gentle reminder can go a long way, especially since it has been months since the last thorough cleaning. You might suggest scheduling a professional clean to ensure that both visible and hidden dirt is addressed. This will not only improve air quality but also protect the longevity of the carpets.

In Dubai, regulations surrounding indoor environmental quality aren't strictly enforced in residential spaces like office buildings, unless specific contracts stipulate otherwise. Nonetheless, maintaining a healthy work environment should be a priority for both tenants and landlords alike.

If you find that regular cleaning isn’t being addressed, consider having an independent professional inspection done to assess the current state of your office's indoor air quality and cleanliness. This can help highlight any issues that need addressing and provide a detailed report for discussion with your landlord. For such services, you could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, while carpet cleaning might seem like an extra expense, it’s an investment in the overall health of your workspace. If the landlord is resistant to cleaning, perhaps discussing the benefits of a clean environment with them could change their perspective.

Always be professional and constructive when speaking to your landlord about this matter. A proactive approach will often yield better results than passive observation.
