Should I hire help or clean apartment dust myself?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely understand how frustrating it can be dealing with all that dust. In the UAE, particularly during sandstorms like you're experiencing, it’s quite common to see a significant increase in indoor dust levels. Given your situation on the 17th floor, here are some pointers to consider.

Firstly, it's important to assess whether hiring help would make more sense for you. The sheer volume of dust can be overwhelming and might take hours to clean up – especially if your furniture is covered. If this is a one-time occurrence due to a sandstorm, you could probably manage with a thorough cleaning session. However, frequent occurrences might warrant professional assistance.

In the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating how often indoor air quality must be checked or cleaned. But it’s always good practice to ensure your home environment remains healthy and clean. Professional cleaning services in Dubai can provide detailed reports if needed, which might help in understanding the level of contamination post-storm.

On the other hand, if you feel like you have enough time and energy to tackle this task yourself, there are a few tips that might help:

1. Wear protective gear such as gloves, masks, and goggles to avoid inhaling dust or transferring it to your face.
2. Start by cleaning windowsills and surfaces from top to bottom to prevent re-suspension of dust.
3. Use microfiber cloths which can trap more dust particles than regular ones.
4. Consider using a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filters for better dust collection.

If you find yourself overwhelmed or if the dust levels remain high even after thorough cleaning, it might be worth considering hiring a professional service. At Saniservice, we offer specialized indoor air quality inspections and remediation services that can help identify potential issues beyond just visible dust.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your health, especially in such environments where dust can easily accumulate. If you decide to go with a professional, make sure they are certified and equipped to handle such situations properly.
