Should I hire professionals to clean balcony debris?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the strong winds this weekend, I noticed a lot of debris and sand settling on our balcony, which overlooks the Dubai Marina. It's quite alarming to see how quickly it accumulated, considering we last cleaned it during the summer months. Given that spring is approaching and more windy days are expected, should I hire professionals for regular cleaning or can this be managed with some elbow grease?

Cleaning your balcony after the strong winds is indeed a concern. Given that the UAE and Dubai have strict environmental and building regulations, it's important to consider both practicality and compliance.
Firstly, let’s look at the practical aspect. Accumulating debris and sand on your balcony can lead to structural issues if not handled properly. Sand particles, particularly salt from the sea, are corrosive and can damage metal parts like railings and screws over time. Additionally, accumulated debris might also pose safety hazards, such as tripping risks or attracting pests. In Dubai, building codes emphasize maintaining cleanliness for public health and safety. Therefore, it’s advisable to ensure that any cleaning methods you employ meet these standards. While elbow grease can be effective in small-scale cleanups, particularly if done regularly, the accumulation of debris post-strong winds suggests a need for more thorough action. If you decide to hire professionals, look for companies with experience in UAE-specific regulations and environmental practices. A professional service will likely use appropriate cleaning tools and methods that won’t damage your balcony’s surface or materials. They can also assess if there are any underlying issues that might require additional maintenance or repairs. For instance, after the recent strong winds, you may want to inspect your balcony for any structural weaknesses or signs of corrosion from sand exposure. If you notice anything unusual, a professional inspection is recommended to ensure everything is up to code and safe.
