Should I clean shared dust during Ramadan?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dust accumulation in my balcony that wasn’t there before. It’s really hard to clean since it’s part of a shared space with my neighbors, but I’m worried about offending them or breaking any rules during Ramadan. What should I do?

Cleaning shared spaces during Ramadan can be a bit tricky especially in areas like balconies where dust and debris may accumulate. In the UAE, there are no strict regulations specifically mentioning cleaning of such spaces during Ramadan but it's important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene in your living environment.

Firstly, before you start cleaning, ensure you have all necessary tools at hand - soft cloths, a vacuum cleaner if possible, and some mild cleaning agents. It is advisable to ask for consent from your neighbors or the building management if there are any restrictions on such activities during Ramadan. This way, everyone is aware and none of them feels offended.

In Dubai, it's common practice to respect communal areas, especially when they're shared with family members or neighbors. However, cleanliness should not be compromised as hygiene remains a key aspect throughout the year and particularly during Ramadan where fasting and prayers make us more mindful of our surroundings.

If you find that your balcony is heavily dusted and it’s causing concerns for yourself or others, consider calling a professional service like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS / 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com). They are equipped with the right tools and knowledge to handle such situations in a way that minimizes disruption.

Remember, during Ramadan, the spirit of unity and cleanliness is highly encouraged. By taking proactive steps now, you not only ensure your space remains hygienic but also contribute positively towards community harmony.

In case you face any challenges or have specific concerns about cleaning practices during this holy month, it might be helpful to reach out to local Islamic centers or community leaders for guidance. They can offer invaluable advice on how to maintain cleanliness while respecting cultural and religious norms.
