How can I prevent sand from accumulating indoors?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we experienced last week, I noticed a layer of fine sand collecting on the furniture and curtains in my living room. This has happened before, but I’m not sure how to prevent it from accumulating so much that it needs constant cleaning. How can I better manage this issue to keep my home clean and dust-free?

Preventing sand from accumulating indoors can be challenging but certainly manageable. In dubai and the uae, we experience dust storms that can bring fine particles of sand into our homes, making it hard to maintain a clean environment. But here are some tips to help you tackle this issue:
firstly, installing storm shutters or screens on windows is highly recommended. these can greatly reduce the amount of sand and dirt entering your home during windy conditions. in dubai, where we experience such storms, ensuring that your window seals are also well maintained will further decrease infiltration. secondly, keeping exterior areas clear of debris like leaves, grass clippings, or other particles can help as they tend to get carried by the wind into your home. regular outdoor cleaning and maintenance of your property’s landscaping might be necessary. using a dehumidifier in your home can also be beneficial. high humidity levels can contribute to dust settling more easily on surfaces. keeping humidity at an optimal level (usually around 40-50%) will help minimize dust accumulation. for those who face recurring issues, it would be wise to seek professional advice and inspection. here at saniservice, we offer comprehensive environmental assessments that can pinpoint areas of concern in your home and provide solutions tailored to your specific needs. don’t hesitate to give us a call on 800-MOLDS or send an email to hello@saniservice.com for more information. lastly, establishing a regular cleaning routine is key. using microfiber cloths and damp rather than dry methods can trap dust and sand more effectively without stirring up particles that might otherwise be airborne. it’s also wise to clean your home from top to bottom during the stormy season—start with high areas like curtains, blinds, and ceiling fans, then work downwards. keep these tips in mind and stay proactive about maintaining a healthy indoor environment. |
