Is cleaning sand and debris feasible or need pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm a few weeks ago, I found a layer of fine sand and debris settled on almost every surface in my apartment's living room. It’s so extensive that it feels like I need to redecorate the place. Can anyone suggest if cleaning this up myself is feasible or if professional help would be necessary?

Cleaning up the sand and debris from your living room can indeed be done by yourself but it’s important to consider a few factors. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, the environmental conditions can vary greatly, especially following dust storms. Here are some tips to help you tackle this cleanup:
Firstly, assess the extent of the damage. If there is only minor dust and sand settling on your surfaces, then cleaning with a vacuum cleaner or soft cloths should be sufficient. For areas that are heavily affected, using a mixture of water and mild detergent might work well. Ensure you clean both horizontal and vertical surfaces thoroughly to avoid any missed spots. However, if the amount of debris is so extensive that it seems like redecorating is needed, professional help may be necessary. In Dubai, after such storms, there can be significant damage not just from sand but also from potential structural issues or mold growth which could arise from moisture retention. It's crucial to ensure a thorough inspection and cleaning process. Professional services in the UAE often have specialized equipment for deep cleaning and can identify any underlying issues that might require attention beyond surface cleaning. For instance, if you notice any signs of water damage or dampness, it’s advisable to get an expert assessment as early intervention is key to preventing mold growth. Additionally, consider your health and safety while performing the cleanup. Wear protective gear such as gloves and masks when handling dust and debris. If the area becomes too overwhelming for you to manage on your own, don’t hesitate to call in professionals like those at Saniservice who can help ensure a thorough clean-up and minimize risks. Remember, if you notice any persistent issues or concerns after cleaning, it’s always best to seek professional advice to avoid long-term damage.
