Should I clean professionally or DIY?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I noticed a layer of dust and debris all over our living area, even in the corners where I can’t reach. My husband and kids have been complaining about sneezing and itchy eyes, which made me suspect some level of allergens might be building up. Should I consider hiring professional cleaning services for a deep clean, or are there affordable DIY methods we could try first?

Hey there! Cleaning up after those dust storms can be quite the task. Given the situation in Dubai and the UAE, it's understandable why you're concerned about allergens building up in your home.

Firstly, I'd suggest taking a moment to assess the level of contamination. If the dust is dense or if you notice that it's particularly hard to remove even with careful cleaning, it might be wise to consider professional help. In Dubai and the UAE, regulations regarding indoor environments aren't as strictly enforced compared to some other regions, but maintaining good air quality in your home is still a priority.

DIY methods can certainly work for light dusting and vacuuming, but if you're seeing significant amounts of debris like that, it might be better to hire professionals. They have the right equipment and techniques to ensure thorough cleaning without risking damage to your furniture or surfaces.

Here are some steps you can take:
1. Start by removing large debris with a broom or vacuum cleaner.
2. Use microfiber cloths or damp cloths for dusting surfaces, as these capture more particles than dry cloths do.
3. Ensure all doors and windows are sealed properly to prevent further intrusion of dust during your cleaning process.

However, if you find that the dust is pervasive, especially in corners and hard-to-reach areas, it might be time to call in the professionals. They can use specialized vacuums with HEPA filters to capture even microscopic particles, ensuring a deeper clean.

Don't forget about air quality too! Running an air purifier or having an indoor plant can help keep your home's air fresher between cleans. If you're really concerned about allergens, consider getting a professional indoor air quality inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide such services and offer solutions tailored to your specific needs.

So, if the dust is overwhelming, call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert consultation. They can give you peace of mind knowing that your home environment is safe and healthy for all family members.

Remember, a clean and allergen-free home not only improves air quality but also contributes to a more comfortable living space. Hope this helps!
