How urgent is carpet cleaning after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed an unusual amount of dust on my new carpets in the living room. It’s been less than a month since they were installed, but it seems like there are already so many particles settling down. How urgent is it to clean them properly?

Cleaning carpets after dust storms is indeed very important and should be given urgent attention, especially since we recently experienced such an event. In the uAe, our climate can be quite harsh, particularly during sandstorms where fine particles from the desert can settle rapidly on new installations like your carpets.

Given that it's been less than a month since you had them installed and already noticing a significant amount of dust, immediate cleaning is recommended to prevent potential issues. Dust and other particulates can lead to odors, damage to the fibers over time, and even harbor allergens which could affect household health.

Firstly, you should consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and detailed cleaning service. They'll be able to use specialized equipment that your at-home vacuum cleaner might not reach, ensuring a thorough clean.

Moreover, here are some tips you can follow in the meantime:

1. Use a damp cloth or microfiber mop to gently wipe down the surface of the carpet.
2. If possible, open windows (or use air purifiers) to allow for better ventilation and reduce humidity that could encourage mold growth.
3. Avoid using harsh chemicals; instead, opt for mild detergents designed for carpets.

Remember, in dubai, where the climate can be quite warm and humid even indoors, it's crucial to keep your home clean and well-ventilated, especially after events like dust storms. Regular cleaning practices are essential to maintain good indoor environmental quality.

Taking these steps not only helps with aesthetics but also contributes to a healthier living environment. Do ensure that you follow up with professional help for an in-depth cleaning session to keep your carpets looking fresh and to protect their lifespan.
