Should I clean frequently or hire pros for dust from sandstorms?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorms in Dubai, I’ve noticed a layer of fine dust settling on everything inside my third-floor apartment. The furniture, curtains, and even electronics are all covered. Given how often these storms seem to occur, should I hire professionals to clean regularly or is there an affordable DIY solution?

Absolutely, the frequent sandstorms in Dubai can indeed cause significant dust build-up. For many residents, it's important to decide whether to tackle this task yourself or hire professionals for regular cleaning.

Firstly, UAE regulations do stipulate certain standards of indoor air quality, but the focus is more on ongoing pollution sources like smoking and cooking fumes rather than temporary events like sandstorms. However, maintaining clean living spaces can greatly improve your comfort and health.

DIY Cleaning: If you're handy and don't mind a bit of elbow grease, there are ways to manage this yourself without breaking the bank. Start by vacuuming with a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner which is particularly effective for capturing fine particles. Use microfiber cloths or damp sponges to wipe surfaces as they can trap dust better than dry ones. Don’t forget to clean your curtains and fabrics using a gentle detergent. For electronics, gently brush off the dust with an anti-static brush before wiping.

Professional Cleaning: Given how often these storms occur, it might be worth considering hiring professionals for regular cleaning sessions. Companies like Saniservice can provide comprehensive cleaning services that include deep cleaning of hard-to-reach areas and specialized equipment to handle delicate items. Their expertise ensures a thorough clean which is especially important when dealing with sand particles.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you're considering professional help. They offer tailored solutions based on your specific needs, ensuring that your indoor environment stays as dust-free and comfortable as possible during the frequent desert dust events in Dubai.

Remember, keeping your space clean is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment. Whether you choose to DIY or hire professionals, taking action now can save you time and effort in the long run!
