How can we clean without disturbing grandmother?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy dust storm, I’ve noticed a lot more dust gathering on the furniture and in the corners of our living room. The windowsill where my grandmother likes to sit has become quite dirty with old dust and debris. We want to make sure she’s comfortable and that we don’t have any health issues from dust accumulation. How can we best clean the area without disturbing her routine, especially since she’s not very mobile?

Cleaning the area around your grandmother without disturbing her routine can be quite a challenge. Here are some practical steps to consider:
Firstly, it's important to ensure that you follow local regulations and guidelines for indoor cleaning. In Dubai and the UAE, there might not be specific laws governing dust or cleaning practices in residential areas, but it’s always good to keep an eye on any changes from the Municipality of Dubai (MoD) or other relevant authorities. To start with, schedule your cleaning at a time when she's most likely to be occupied. This could be during her regular nap times or after she’s done with her usual activities. If she likes to sit by the window, perhaps plan around meal times so that she can enjoy her food and conversation without interruptions from cleaning. Using soft cloths and microfiber dusters is key. Avoid anything too abrasive as it might scratch surfaces. For furniture, use a damp cloth first to loosen any dust, then follow with a dry one to remove the moisture. As for windowsills, gently tap or blow away any debris before wiping down the surface. Vacuuming is another effective method. Use a vacuum cleaner with attachments that can reach tight corners and crevices. Make sure the suction isn't too strong as it might scare her. If she has specific areas where she likes to sit, clean those spots more carefully while being aware of her proximity. Another tip is to keep things simple. Don’t move her favorite items around if possible; instead, clean around them using a soft brush or feather duster. This way, you won't disturb her routine too much and ensure that her belongings remain in place. Lastly, always remember to wear protective gloves when handling cleaning products to avoid any accidental skin contact. If you find the dust accumulation is severe and poses a health risk, consider calling for a professional inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (call 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide expert advice and services. Cleaning around your grandmother should be a gentle process that respects her mobility and comfort. By being mindful of these steps, you'll help ensure she stays comfortable while maintaining a clean environment for both of you. |
