Can I clean dust from construction safely?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, dust from construction can be managed safely but it's crucial to take some precautions. In Dubai and the UAE, there are regulations regarding indoor environmental quality that you should consider. The Dubai Municipality has set standards for dust levels which generally need to be maintained during and after construction activities.

Firstly, make sure your cleaning is thorough. Wet mopping or using a damp cloth can help capture more of the fine particles than dry sweeping alone. This method is particularly effective as it minimizes airborne dust. However, if you find yourself dealing with excessive amounts of dust that seem to never end, you might want to give professional assistance a call.

Cleaning tips for your living room:
• Start by removing larger debris using a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter.
• For surfaces, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down areas. Avoid dry sweeping as it can kick up more dust.
• Pay special attention to corners and ceiling areas where dust tends to accumulate.

It’s also essential to address the source of the dust. If you're noticing that the construction activity next door is causing significant issues, you might want to speak with your neighbors or even local authorities about their compliance with regulations. In cases where the dust levels are concerning for health reasons, a professional indoor air quality inspection could provide peace of mind and help identify any necessary steps.

If your kids have been complaining of throat pain, it's wise to consider getting an assessment from a healthcare provider as well as a professional environmental consultant. They can provide guidance on whether the dust might be causing respiratory issues or other health problems.

Remember, while you can handle much of this yourself, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for any questions or concerns regarding indoor air quality and cleaning services in your area. Ensuring a healthy living environment is key, especially with ongoing construction next door.
