Can I clean dust storm debris myself?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed an unusually high amount of dust collecting on all the surfaces in my coworking space at home. The bookshelves and the ceiling fans are particularly affected, but it’s everywhere! Given that we’ve lived here for two years and just noticed this issue now, do you think I can handle cleaning it myself or should I consider hiring a professional?

Cleaning the aftermath of a dust storm debris can indeed be a tedious task. In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai where we experience such events, it’s common to see an influx of dust settling on surfaces. Given your situation in a coworking space that has been affected, you have several options: you could tackle this yourself or seek professional assistance.
Firstly, if the storm was just weeks ago and the debris is mainly settled dust, you might be able to manage it yourself with some effort. Begin by sweeping or vacuuming all hard surfaces first to remove any large particles. For more delicate areas like bookshelves, use a damp cloth or microfiber duster to wipe down the shelves gently. Ceiling fans can be cleaned using a long-handled brush attached to your vacuum cleaner if possible, making sure not to damage them in the process. However, given that you mentioned noticing this issue after two years of living there, it might indicate more than just a simple dust storm event. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and environmental hygiene, especially in public spaces like coworking centers. These standards are designed to ensure a healthy environment for all occupants, so it’s worth considering a professional inspection to understand if the issue is related to the structure itself or other factors. If you find that the dust accumulation is persistent despite your efforts, or if there are signs of mold growth which can be common in such conditions, then hiring a professional service might be necessary.

They can provide a thorough inspection and the right tools to ensure your space is clean and safe. Remember, while DIY methods are cost-effective, they may not always address all issues effectively.
