Are others in Dubai noticing similar powdery residue after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

Yep, many folks around the UAE, especially those in Dubai, have been noticing that pesky powdery residue after these dust storms. It's not uncommon for such storms to leave a fine layer of dirt and dust on surfaces like blinds, books, even toys! The recent storm you mentioned is likely responsible for that layer of grit on your third-floor apartment.

In our region, we're familiar with the effects of dust storms. They are particularly common during certain seasons, but it's good to be prepared when they do hit. Here’s what you can expect and some tips:

Firstly, the UAE doesn't have specific regulations directly addressing dust storms, but environmental protection agencies monitor air quality closely during such events. It is advisable to keep an eye on local weather reports and air quality updates.

To deal with this powdery residue:
1. Use a damp cloth or sponge to gently wipe surfaces. Microfiber cloths are particularly effective at trapping particles.
2. Clean your AC filter regularly, as you noted it's now quite dirty. This not only helps in reducing indoor dust but also improves air quality and efficiency of the system.
3. If you're concerned about the residue affecting health or if it's hard to remove, consider calling in a professional for an inspection. Saniservice, the company I work for, can provide detailed assessments and recommendations.

Remember, keeping your living spaces clean after dust storms is crucial not only for hygiene but also for maintaining air quality inside your home. Regular cleaning and maintenance are key!
