Should I clean windowsills or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorm, my living room windowsills are covered with a thick layer of desert dust. It’s quite alarming how much has accumulated in such a short time. Given that we’ve lived in this area for two years and constantly deal with these storms, should I consider hiring professionals to clean regularly or is there an affordable DIY method?

Absolutely, the accumulation of desert dust can indeed be a concern. Given your experience with sandstorms and their frequency here in Dubai, it’s wise to consider both the DIY approach and professional cleaning methods.
Firstly, the UAE doesn't have strict regulations specifically for desert dust control, but maintaining indoor air quality is crucial as per the general environmental health guidelines. Regular cleaning of windowsills can prevent dust from spreading into your home and affecting the overall air quality. For a DIY cleanup, you’ll want to use a soft cloth or sponge with mild detergent and water to gently wipe down the surfaces. Be sure to wear gloves and a mask to protect yourself from inhaling any fine particles. After cleaning, ensure all areas are properly dried to prevent moisture build-up which can lead to mold growth - especially important as humidity levels in Dubai can vary. However, if you find the task overwhelming or notice that dust is accumulating too quickly between cleanings, it might be worth considering professional services. Professional cleaners have specialized equipment and techniques designed for such tasks. They can also provide a more thorough cleaning, ensuring no corners are left untouched. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer reliable services with experienced staff who know how to handle such situations. Should you choose the pro route, remember to get quotes from several providers to ensure you're getting a fair price. Also, check their credentials and reviews online before committing. It’s also advisable to have a professional inspection every so often. They can assess the overall condition of your home and provide advice on how to better manage dust accumulation. In Dubai, sandstorms are an annual occurrence, but with proper maintenance and possibly some professional help, you can keep your living space as clean and healthy as possible. If you decide to go with Saniservice or any other reputable firm, do call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information or a quote. Remember, it’s better to be proactive about indoor air quality in such an arid environment! |
