How do I deal with cleaning best?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning best practices can indeed make a significant difference in maintaining indoor environmental quality, especially post-dust storms like the one that hit your area. In Dubai and UAE, we often face such challenges due to the climate and dust events.

Firstly, it's important to understand that regular cleaning routines are key but might need some adjustments after such an event. Start by gently sweeping or vacuuming with a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner to minimize release of dust particles into the air. The HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters capture tiny particles, including dust mites and allergens, which can be harmful.

For areas under the beds where your children’s toys are stored, a microfiber cloth dipped in a mild cleaning solution is effective. These cloths trap dust without the need for rinsing or drying. A solution of water and white vinegar works well as it's natural and non-toxic. Avoid using harsh chemicals which may not only be harmful but can also react with other substances present in your home.

To tackle those pesky dust bunnies, try to loosen them up by gently shaking the bed frame or moving the toys around. Once loose, use a damp cloth or an attachment on your vacuum cleaner designed for upholstery and crevices to remove them. Remember to clean under furniture and other hard-to-reach areas that may accumulate dust.

Maintaining indoor air quality is crucial in Dubai where we often experience high humidity levels even during dry periods. Ensure you have good ventilation by opening windows when possible or using an exhaust fan to help clear the air of any lingering particles.

It's also a good idea to check for and manage sources of dust, such as plants, pets, or materials that may be attracting dust into your home. Regularly washing curtains, bed linens, and soft toys can further reduce dust levels.

If you find that despite your best efforts, the dust issue persists or if you notice any unusual symptoms among family members, it might be wise to seek a professional inspection. Our company, Saniservice, offers comprehensive environmental inspections in Dubai and can provide expert advice on cleaning methods and potential allergen sources.

Remember, keeping indoor environments clean is not just about aesthetics but also about promoting good health. Regular maintenance and occasional deep cleans are the best strategies for maintaining a dust-free home.
