Is cleaning checklist covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning checklist is indeed an important aspect to consider, especially post-storms. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen some intense dust storms that can leave a layer of sand and dirt across floors. Cleaning up after such events isn't just about tidying - it's also about ensuring indoor air quality which can be impacted by the influx of fine particles.

Firstly, it’s important to note that cleaning post-dust storm is more than just picking up the floor with a broom. You might want to consider using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to capture those tiny particles that could otherwise settle and cause issues over time. In Dubai, where we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, it's always good practice to ensure you’re not introducing any potential allergens or irritants into your living space.

As for insurance coverage, typically cleaning activities aren't covered under standard home insurance policies unless there’s a specific rider added for such events. However, damage caused by the storm and subsequent need for remediation might be. It's advisable to check with your insurance provider about any potential claims you could make post-storm, as some policies may cover restoration or cleanup costs.

If you're dealing with significant amounts of sand or dust that’s causing concern regarding indoor air quality, it might be prudent to consider a professional inspection.
