Should I clean sandstorm damage myself?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the sandstorm last week, my living room has accumulated a thick layer of fine sand that’s settling on every surface. The air inside feels gritty and slightly damp even after we’ve wiped everything down. Given our two-year experience in Dubai, I’m not sure if this is normal or something we should be concerned about. Should I consider hiring professionals to handle the cleaning, or are there cost-effective methods I can try myself?

Absolutely, it's quite common to experience sandstorms here in Dubai and the UAE. The fine dust particles can easily coat surfaces and make your living space feel less than ideal. For a thorough clean-up of your living room, you might want to consider both DIY methods and professional assistance.
Firstly, i'd recommend giving everything an initial cleaning with a damp cloth or microfiber duster to remove the visible layer of sand. Be sure to target all surfaces including windowsills, furniture, electronics, and even curtains if possible. After that, you can use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently agitate any remaining dust into the filter. However, for more stubborn particles, especially those that might have settled in carpeting or less accessible areas, it could be worth calling in professionals. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer specialized sandstorm cleaning services which are particularly adept at dealing with such situations. They can provide a deeper clean using vacuums and sometimes even steam-cleaning machines to ensure all particles are removed. In terms of UAE regulations, while there aren't specific laws regarding sandstorm cleanup, it's important to handle the situation hygienically, especially if you have small children or pets around. Make sure to wear protective gear such as masks and gloves when cleaning and disposing of waste properly. Additionally, keep an eye on your indoor air quality. The grittiness and damp feeling could be a sign that fine particles are still in the air. Using air purifiers can help filter out these tiny particles and make breathing easier. If after all this you're still not satisfied with the results or if there's any doubt about the cleanliness, don't hesitate to reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional inspection. They can ensure your home is fully clean and safe. Remember, keeping your living environment dust-free is crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality which is especially important in our desert climate. |
