After the heavy dust storm last weekend, I noticed a layer of fine sand on every surface in my living room, even on the high shelves. It’s particularly noticeable on the windowsills and my bookshelves. How can I effectively clean this up without damaging the surfaces?

Cleaning sand without damaging surfaces can be quite the challenge especially after such heavy dust storms. In dubai/uae, it's common to experience similar weather conditions that can leave a fine layer of sand on just about every surface. The key is to approach this task methodically and carefully.
Firstly, ensure you have all necessary tools at hand before starting your cleaning process. For delicate surfaces like windowsills and bookshelves, a soft microfiber cloth or a lint-free cloth should do the trick. Avoid using abrasive materials as these can scratch or damage the finish of items such as wood or glass. Water can be used but ensure it is clean and free from minerals that may leave deposits on surfaces. For particularly stubborn sand, you might want to use a mild detergent solution mixed with lukewarm water. Apply this mixture gently to the surface using your soft cloth or sponge, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Pat dry immediately to prevent any potential water damage. If you're dealing with a large amount of dust and sand, consider wearing a mask while cleaning to avoid inhaling particles. This is especially important in dubai/uae where air quality can be an issue post-dust storms. For more serious cases or if unsure about the condition of your surfaces, it's recommended that you call for professional inspection.
