How often should we deep clean to prevent dust buildup?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, we've noticed a persistent layer of dust on everything inside our apartment, even in areas that are usually well-maintained. It’s particularly noticeable on the windowsills and shelves in the living room, where my kids keep their toys. We’ve only just realized how much it has built up over the past few weeks, and we’re concerned about the health implications for us and the kids. How often should we be deep cleaning our home to prevent this kind of buildup?

Hey there! Dust buildup can indeed be a concern, especially after the heavy dust storm we experienced. In Dubai/UAE, it's common to see such issues due to our weather and living conditions. To tackle this issue effectively, you might want to consider a deep clean every 1-2 months as a general guideline. However, given the recent weather patterns and the concern over kids' health, you may need to bump that up to more frequent intervals.

Firstly, it’s important to note that maintaining indoor air quality is crucial in our region due to the climate and lifestyle habits. Regular cleaning can help prevent dust mites and other allergens from accumulating, which is particularly important for children.

To start with, you could consider a few key areas: windowsills, shelves, and any hard surfaces where your kids keep their toys. Use a microfiber cloth or vacuum cleaner to clean these areas thoroughly. You might also want to invest in an air purifier, especially if someone in the household suffers from allergies.

Now, regarding professional help, given that we're dealing with persistent dust even in usually well-maintained spaces, it could be beneficial to consult a professional environmental inspection and remediation company like Saniservice. They can provide a thorough assessment of your home's indoor environment and recommend any necessary treatments or further cleaning practices.

Remember, regular deep cleans are key but also consider the use of HEPA filters in your vacuum cleaner for better dust collection, and keep surfaces clean with damp cloths to avoid re-distributing settled dust when you walk across them. And don't forget to check for any signs of mold growth which can be a serious health issue.

If you're unsure about how to proceed or if the situation worsens, don’t hesitate to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They’ll be able to guide you through any necessary steps and ensure your home stays clean and healthy.

Hope this helps! Keep those dust bunnies at bay!
