How can I clean without causing dust issues?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning up after the dust storm certainly sounds like quite the task. In the UAE and particularly in Dubai, we're very aware of how environmental factors can affect indoor air quality, especially for our elderly and young ones who are more susceptible to respiratory issues.

To start off, ensure you have the right tools at hand—masks, rubber gloves, and a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. It's crucial that these filters capture tiny particles which might otherwise get dispersed into the air as you clean. Make sure to set up a system where one person is responsible for dusting surfaces like furniture and mirrors while another vacuums under beds and behind furniture.

In Dubai, we follow local guidelines regarding indoor cleaning but generally, it’s important to avoid using harsh chemicals or strong scents which might irritate your grandmother's nose or exacerbate her health issues. Opt for natural solutions instead—vinegar and water mixture can be very effective for a gentle clean.

Ventilation is key here too. Open windows if possible to let fresh air in; however, given Dubai’s climate, you may need to balance this with maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature. Using an air purifier can also help filter out any lingering dust particles from the air.

It's worth noting that while the steps I've outlined are practical and effective, there might be some cases where professional inspection is needed. If you're noticing persistent issues or if anyone in your family experiences severe symptoms like breathing difficulties, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional evaluation.

Taking the time to clean up carefully can really make a difference not just in reducing dust but also in improving everyone’s comfort and health. Remember, prevention is key, so regular cleaning and keeping an eye on indoor air quality are always good practices.

Stay healthy!
