Should I clean dust storm grit myself or hire a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a fine layer of grit settling on all the furniture and surfaces in my master bedroom. It’s not something I can clean up with a regular cloth; it seems to be stuck deeper into the fabrics and crevices. Should I try tackling this myself or is there a specialized service that would handle it better?

Absolutely, it sounds like the recent dust storm has left quite the mess in your master bedroom. Cleaning grit that’s embedded deeply into fabrics and crevices can indeed be a bit tricky without proper tools and techniques. I'd recommend assessing the extent of the damage first to determine if you might need professional help.

In the UAE, especially in Dubai, the air quality can fluctuate with weather conditions such as dust storms. It's important to ensure that any cleaning process doesn’t exacerbate potential health issues or cause further damage to your furniture and surfaces. Given the specific climate and regulations in place, it may be worth contacting a professional service.

For instance, some specialized companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive indoor air quality assessments and deep-cleaning services tailored for such scenarios. Their experts can use advanced tools and methods to safely and effectively remove stubborn grit without causing any damage to your belongings.

If you decide to tackle this yourself, wear protective gear like gloves and masks to prevent inhaling dust particles. Start by gently vacuuming surfaces with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner to capture fine debris. For fabrics, consider using a steam cleaner which can help lift embedded dirt and grime without causing excessive wear.

In cases where the grit is particularly stubborn or when you're unsure about handling it yourself, calling 800-MOLDS (or email hello@saniservice.com) for professional assistance could be your best bet. Their team has the expertise to handle various cleaning challenges in a way that’s both efficient and safe.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial, especially after events like dust storms. Regular inspections can help identify potential issues early on and keep your living space clean and healthy.

Hope this helps! If you need more advice or assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out.
