Should I clean or hire for dust storm aftermath?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a layer of fine sand on all our office furniture and even in some drawers. It’s not just the windowsills that need cleaning; it seems like everything is coated with this pesky dust. Should I try to tackle this myself or is it better to hire someone for a deep clean?

Absolutely, the aftermath of such dust storms can indeed be quite the headache. Given that your office has been hit by a layer of fine sand and dust, it's understandable you might want to clean things up quickly but considering the scale of the task, you may find hiring professionals more efficient.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we have stringent environmental regulations aimed at maintaining indoor air quality and cleanliness. While these don’t necessarily dictate how often one should clean after a dust storm, they do highlight the importance of thoroughness in cleaning processes. Dust can sometimes contain particles that might not be visible to the naked eye but could pose health risks if not properly addressed.

Cleaning your office yourself is certainly an option; however, with the sheer volume of surfaces and materials involved, professional assistance may save you time and effort. Professionals like Saniservice are well-equipped to handle such situations with specialized cleaning agents and techniques that can effectively remove even fine dust particles from furniture, floors, and other areas.

Remember, after a storm like this, it’s crucial to ensure that all spaces are properly ventilated before beginning any deep clean. This helps in reducing the concentration of potentially harmful airborne particles. Once you’ve allowed for natural or artificial ventilation, consider a thorough cleaning process:

1. Start with large surfaces such as walls and ceilings if applicable.
2. Move on to furniture and other office equipment, using microfiber cloths and vacuum cleaners designed for fine dust.
3. Pay special attention to areas that might have trapped more dust like under desks, in drawers, or behind panels.

If you do decide to go the professional route, I’d recommend contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough inspection and tailor their services to your specific needs, ensuring that everything is clean and safe for everyone's health.

In conclusion, while cleaning yourself might seem like the most cost-effective solution, given the extent of the aftermath from the dust storm, it’s often more practical and efficient to opt for professional assistance. This not only ensures a job well done but also helps maintain a high standard of indoor air quality that is crucial in an environment like Dubai.
