Should I clean blinds myself or hire a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed an unusually high amount of dust on the blinds in my office space. It's located in the corner by the window, and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months. Given that this is my first time managing an office cleaning task since moving here two years ago, should I try to clean it myself or would it be better to hire a professional service?

Absolutely understand your concern about the dust build-up on your office blinds. In Dubai and the UAE, maintaining good indoor environmental quality is a key priority due to our unique climatic conditions and the potential for high levels of particulate matter from storms like the one you mentioned.

Firstly, consider the health implications of not addressing this issue promptly. Dust can harbor allergens, mold spores, and other irritants that could affect your well-being or that of your colleagues. Especially in an environment such as Dubai's, where we experience significant temperature and humidity variations, it’s crucial to keep indoor spaces clean.

Cleaning blinds yourself is certainly doable if you have the time and inclination. However, given the size and location of your blinds, a thorough cleaning might be challenging without the right tools or techniques. For instance, reaching into tight corners or lifting heavy blinds could pose safety risks. Furthermore, professional services are often equipped with advanced cleaning products and methods that can ensure a more effective clean.

If you decide to go for a DIY approach, make sure to take necessary precautions such as wearing gloves and a mask, and using a microfiber cloth or damp sponge to avoid scratching the surface. You might also want to consider investing in a small vacuum cleaner with attachments designed for window treatments to make the task easier.

However, if you're not comfortable doing it yourself or don't have the time, hiring a professional cleaning service is highly recommended. Companies specializing in office cleaning services can provide a more thorough and consistent clean. They often use specialized equipment that can access hard-to-reach areas effectively. Additionally, they ensure compliance with local health and safety regulations, which might be particularly important if you're not familiar with the specific guidelines for indoor environments.

Remember, keeping your workspace dust-free is crucial for maintaining good air quality and reducing allergens. In Dubai, it's also a great idea to have an annual professional inspection of your office space to ensure that all aspects of indoor environmental quality are up to standard.

So if you're uncertain or just want peace of mind, reaching out to 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com would be a wise step. They can offer expert advice and schedule professional cleaning services for your office space. Don’t forget, they are local experts who understand the unique challenges of maintaining a clean environment in Dubai.

Hope this helps!
