Should I clean dust professionally or DIY?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks back, I noticed an alarming amount of dust accumulation in every corner of my guest bedroom, including under the furniture and in the baseboards. Given that we have two young children who are prone to respiratory issues, I’m considering whether it’s worth hiring professionals for a thorough cleaning or if I can manage with DIY methods. Should I go for a full-service clean-up or try doing it myself?

Absolutely, the situation with the dust storm sounds pretty common around Dubai and the UAE. With two young kids at home, especially those who have respiratory issues, it's crucial to ensure that your guest bedroom is clean and safe.

Firstly, let's consider a few points before deciding between professional cleaning or DIY. In the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating regular dusting practices in residential areas post-storms, but you can always seek advice from local health authorities if you're concerned about any risks to your family’s wellbeing.

DIY Cleaning:
DIY cleaning is a viable option especially for those with some time on their hands and the right tools. You would need a few essentials such as microfiber cloths, vacuum cleaners (especially one that can handle hard floors), and possibly a damp cloth or mop if you're dealing with carpets. Start by removing large debris like leaves and twigs from corners and windowsills. Then move to dusting furniture, curtains, and blinds using the microfiber cloths which are great at trapping dust rather than spreading it around.

Vacuuming is key; make sure to use a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filters if possible, as they can capture tiny particles that could irritate your children's respiratory systems. Don’t forget under the furniture where dust tends to accumulate and clean baseboards meticulously by scraping off any loose dirt before vacuuming or mopping.

Professional Cleaning:
While you might feel inclined to do it yourself, professional cleaning services in Dubai such as Saniservice.com (call 800-MOLDS) can provide a thorough clean. They use advanced equipment like high-pressure washers and steam cleaners that can reach areas where dust and other allergens hide. Their services are especially beneficial if you're dealing with severe dust issues or have health concerns for your family.

In my experience, professional cleaning not only ensures a deeper clean but also provides peace of mind knowing the job is done by experts who follow industry standards. Plus, they can identify any hidden mold or other contaminants that might be lurking in corners unseen to the naked eye.

Ultimately, if you're unsure about how thorough your DIY efforts would be or want assurance on the cleanliness and safety of your home post-dust storm, it's worth considering professional help. It’s a small investment for better air quality and health for your family.

So, depending on your time constraints and level of comfort with cleaning tasks, you could either go ahead with thorough DIY cleaning or reach out to Saniservice.com for their expert advice and services.
