Should I clean after dust storms myself?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's understandable that after the recent dust storms, you'd want to clean your living room promptly. In dubai, we've seen several cases where sand and debris from these storms can really wreak havoc on indoor air quality. However, before diving into a DIY cleaning spree, there are few steps i would recommend you take.

Firstly, it's crucial to ensure that the dust does not contain harmful particles such as silica which is common in desert sandstorms. Given the situation, a professional inspection might be beneficial especially if you or anyone in your household suffers from respiratory issues. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an assessment. This way, we can determine whether the dust poses any serious health risks and recommend appropriate measures.

For those who prefer to clean themselves, here are some tips:
1. Wear protective gear like a mask, gloves, and goggles before starting.
2. Start by opening all windows and using exhaust fans to improve ventilation.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filters if possible; it helps capture fine particles more effectively.
4. For surfaces that are heavily dusted, damp wipe them down to avoid stirring up more dust into the air.
5. Pay extra attention to areas like window sills, corners, and furniture legs where dust can accumulate.

Remember, while cleaning is a good first step, maintaining indoor air quality in dubai during sandstorms requires ongoing efforts such as using air purifiers, keeping windows closed, and regularly checking for mold growth which can be more likely when moisture levels increase due to the storms.

Lastly, if you notice any unusual symptoms persisting after cleaning or if your concerns continue, don't hesitate to reach out for professional help. Saniservice can provide comprehensive solutions tailored to dubai's climate conditions.

Hope this helps and take care of yourself and your family during these challenging times!
