Is cleaning dust from storm urgent?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm, I noticed a layer of fine, almost invisible dust on all the furniture and surfaces in my living room. It’s not just settling there; it seems to be causing some sneezing among us. How urgent is it to get this cleaned up professionally, and what steps should we take first?

Cleaning dust from the storm is indeed urgent. The fine layer of dust that has settled can trigger allergies and respiratory issues, especially if it contains particles like pollen or other irritants. In the UAE, particularly during storms, such dust can carry microscopic particles which might not be visible but are harmful.

Given the situation in Dubai, where you're experiencing sneezing, this is a sign that your indoor air quality has been compromised. It’s crucial to address the issue swiftly to prevent further health concerns for yourself and your family.

To start with, it's recommended to clean all surfaces thoroughly—furniture, curtains, and any other soft furnishings. Use microfiber cloths or vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters which can capture tiny particles effectively. For hard surfaces like floors and countertops, a damp cloth or mop will help in removing the dust without spreading it around.

However, if you're experiencing persistent sneezing or notice other symptoms such as red eyes, coughing, or wheezing, it might be wise to call for professional assistance. In Dubai, Saniservice offers specialized cleaning and inspection services that can thoroughly assess your home’s indoor air quality post-storm and provide the necessary remediation.

Do not hesitate to reach out by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional consultation. They have the expertise to advise on whether further steps such as dehumidification, air purifiers installation, or even deeper cleaning are needed.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai’s climate and environment. Regular cleaning and checking can help prevent future issues.
