Should I clean dust storms damage myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a lot of dust settling on all surfaces in our new flat near JBR. The bedroom, living room, and even the kitchen are looking pretty grimy. Given that we’ve only been here for 2 years, I’m worried about how much time this will take to clean properly without causing more allergies or asthma issues for my family. Should I hire professionals for a thorough cleaning, or can it be done in stages by myself?

Cleaning up after dust storms can be quite the task, especially for new flats where every surface seems to collect a layer of grit and grime. In the UAE, particularly around JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence), we often experience such weather events which bring in large amounts of particulate matter into homes. This situation can indeed trigger asthma or exacerbate allergy symptoms among family members.

Given your concerns about dust accumulation over just 2 years, it might be wise to consider professional help rather than undertaking a massive cleaning yourself. Professionals have the right equipment and expertise to handle such tasks without causing further irritation or health issues for your loved ones.

Firstly, ensure you follow local regulations regarding indoor air quality (though there aren’t specific dust storm guidelines in Dubai, general hygiene standards apply). A thorough inspection by a professional can also help identify any hidden mold growth which might thrive on the moisture left behind from these storms. Early detection and remediation are key to maintaining good IAQ.

I would recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an assessment and cleaning plan tailored to your needs. They offer services that can be done in stages, making the process less daunting and ensuring it’s carried out safely and effectively without causing unnecessary allergens.

Remember, the key is not just removing visible dust but also addressing areas where mold might grow such as behind walls or under furniture. A professional team will have the knowledge to identify these spots and treat them appropriately.

In conclusion, while you can certainly attempt some cleaning yourself, engaging professionals could save time and ensure a thorough job without compromising your family's health.
