How can I clean extensive dust without professional help?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed an unusual amount of dust gathering in all the nooks and crannies of my apartment’s multi-zone living area. The furniture in the living room and the dining area have accumulated so much dust that it’s difficult to see the colors anymore. Given how busy everyone is with work and school, I’m wondering if there are effective DIY methods for cleaning such a large space or if I should consider hiring professional help. How do you recommend tackling this?

Cleaning extensive dust from your multi-zone living area can be quite challenging but with the right approach, you can handle it effectively without professional help. Here are some tips and practical steps to follow:

Firstly, ensure that all occupants of the apartment are aware of the cleaning plan so everyone can contribute by moving furniture or clearing a path for necessary cleaning activities. In Dubai/UAE, adherence to local building regulations is crucial, but in this case, specific codes don't directly apply to dust control methods unless you're dealing with severe health hazards which would require professional inspection.

Start by gathering your supplies: microfiber cloths, a vacuum cleaner with an attachment for tight spaces, and possibly some cleaning solutions. For stubborn grime, consider using mild soap or a biodegradable cleaner. Always check if the products comply with local standards regarding indoor air quality.

Begin by removing large objects such as sofas, chairs, and tables to access all corners of your living space. Dust these pieces outside if possible, or use an extendable duster to reach hard-to-reach areas. For smaller furniture items like coffee tables or sideboards, use a vacuum with the appropriate attachments. Pay special attention to under-furniture spaces as this is where dust can accumulate.

Once you've cleaned most of your furniture, focus on cleaning surfaces such as walls, doors, and window sills. Use a damp microfiber cloth for these areas; it's effective in trapping dust without leaving streaks. Ensure that all windows are closed to prevent further dust entry during the cleaning process.

Cleaning blinds or curtains can be done by removing them and washing according to their care instructions. For those who don’t have time, you might want to consider a professional service for these items.

After completing surface cleaning, return the furniture to its positions and make sure to clean any remaining areas like ceiling fans or air vents if accessible. This step is crucial as they can be sources of dust distribution in your living space.

Lastly, ensure that you maintain regular cleaning schedules to keep dust under control. A weekly quick sweep with a damp cloth on frequently touched surfaces and a deeper clean every few months should help keep your multi-zone living area looking fresh and inviting.

If after all these steps the problem persists or if you notice any unusual health issues related to the dust, it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional inspection. Regular cleaning is key, but sometimes a second opinion can help ensure that everything in your home environment is up to standard.

Remember, keeping your living space clean and healthy should always be a priority.
