Should I hire pros or save on living room cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave we had last month, I noticed a lot of dust collecting on the blinds and shelves in my living room. Given that it’s starting to get warmer again, should I consider hiring professionals for a thorough cleaning or is there a more cost-effective way?

Absolutely, it's great to be proactive about keeping your living space clean and dust-free. However, i'd suggest you might want to consider hiring professionals for a thorough cleaning after such an intense heat wave.

Firstly, let’s talk about the climate here in dubai; with its extremely hot summers, indoor surfaces tend to accumulate more dust and debris than ever. Regular household cleaners may not be enough to tackle this kind of build-up, especially on blinds and higher shelves where you mentioned noticing it most. Professionals have specialized tools that can effectively clean these hard-to-reach areas without damaging your furniture or decor.

Additionally, hiring a professional cleaning service comes with several benefits. For starters, they’re equipped with the latest technology such as HEPA vacuum cleaners which are particularly effective at capturing fine dust and allergens. Also, they’ll likely use eco-friendly products that are safe for both you and the environment.

However, if you're looking to save some pennies, there’s a more cost-effective way - DIY cleaning can definitely work here with some smart strategies. Start by using microfiber cloths which are great at capturing dust without leaving streaks or lint behind. For hard-to-reach areas like blinds, consider using a long-handled duster or even an extendable brush attached to your vacuum cleaner.

It’s also important to note that in the uae, there's no specific regulation requiring professional cleaning services for residential spaces. However, if you notice any mold growth due to moisture issues (which can happen post-heat waves), it would be wise to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection.

Lastly, regular maintenance is key. Try setting up a monthly cleaning schedule that includes dusting and vacuuming all surfaces, including ceiling fans if they apply. This can help keep your living space cleaner between professional cleans.

In summary, while hiring professionals might seem more costly upfront, their expertise could save you money in the long run by preventing issues like mold growth and ensuring your home remains a healthy environment for everyone. But if you're looking to save costs, DIY cleaning with smart techniques is definitely an option worth considering.
