Is cleaning summer dangerous in my home?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorms this spring, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating in the corners of my living room, especially on the ceiling fans and windowsills. It’s getting harder to breathe at times, and my kids have been complaining about allergies too. Should I hire professional cleaners for a thorough cleaning, or is there an affordable DIY approach that might work?

Cleaning Summer in your home can indeed be a bit of a challenge, especially after the dusty season. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've noticed an increase in dust accumulation due to spring sandstorms. This dust can certainly affect indoor air quality and lead to health issues for family members.

For someone who has been experiencing breathing difficulties and allergies, it’s important to consider whether a thorough cleaning is necessary. It might be wise to contact a professional service like 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection. They can provide detailed assessments on the state of your home's indoor environment and suggest appropriate solutions.

However, if you're considering DIY options, there are some steps you could take. Start by removing obvious dust from surfaces such as windowsills, ceiling fans, and furniture using a damp cloth or microfiber duster to avoid spreading the dust around. Make sure to wear a mask while cleaning to protect your respiratory system.

Ventilation is key during this process. Open windows if weather permits to allow fresh air circulation. Additionally, using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner can help trap fine particles that might be missed by standard vacuums.

Don’t forget about the corners and high areas which are often overlooked. A ladder or a long-handled duster could be useful for these spots. To clean windows and glass surfaces, a mixture of water and mild soap followed by a squeegee can help maintain clarity without leaving streaks.

Regular cleaning routines such as wiping down surfaces with a damp cloth weekly can also prevent dust from building up to levels that may cause health issues. This is particularly important if you or your family members have respiratory sensitivities.

In conclusion, while DIY cleaning methods can be effective and cost-efficient, they might not always reach the same thoroughness as professional services. If you’re concerned about indoor air quality or dealing with persistent allergy symptoms, consider seeking a professional inspection to ensure your home remains healthy for all inhabitants.
