How can I stop sand from settling in my living room?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning up the persistent fine sand is indeed a tough task and can be quite frustrating. In the UAE, especially during dust storms, it’s common to see fine sand settling on surfaces, but there are ways to mitigate this issue.

Firstly, i recommend that you check if your home has any gaps or cracks around windows, doors, or ducts. These can act as entry points for sand and dust. In dubai, uae regulations require buildings to be designed with proper airtightness standards, but sometimes these might not be met due to construction imperfections or aging structures. A professional inspection could reveal such issues that need sealing.

to prevent sand from settling in your living room, you can start by installing window screens or grilles which will keep the fine particles out while still allowing natural light and air flow. another step is to clean windows regularly with a squeegee to remove any sand particles before they get inside.

using an air purifier equipped with a HEPA filter could also be beneficial in capturing airborne particles, including dust and fine sands. you should consider investing in one if you live in areas prone to frequent storms or desert dust events. these devices are commonly used in residential and commercial settings in the uae for maintaining good indoor air quality.

it’s crucial to keep your living space as clean as possible with regular vacuuming of carpets, rugs, and upholstery using a vacuum cleaner that can handle fine particles without clogging. it's also helpful to use microfiber cloths which are great at trapping dust and sand.

last but not least, keeping plants in the room could help as they naturally filter out air pollutants through their leaves. just ensure you clean them regularly too!

if your situation is persistent or if you notice mold growth due to moisture build-up from these storms, it’s wise to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional inspection and remediation service.

i hope this helps keep your living room clean and dust-free during the upcoming stormy seasons in dubai.
