Why is dust settling in ceiling corners?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a persistent layer of dust on all the surfaces in my living room, even though I had vacuumed regularly. The corners near the ceiling are particularly bad, and it’s making me worried about the air quality for our family. Have anyone dealt with this kind of situation before and what did you do to clean better?

Dust settling in ceiling corners can be quite a nuisance, especially after a dust storm. In the UAE, such storms are common and they leave behind particles that can be difficult to clean. The situation you're describing is pretty typical. Dust tends to accumulate more in hard-to-reach areas like ceiling corners because of their height and angle.
In Dubai, regulations concerning indoor air quality aren't as stringent as those for outdoor pollutants but it's still important to keep the environment healthy within your home or workspace. Dust can contain various particles such as pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and even dust mites - all of which can affect your health if present in large quantities. To clean better, you might want to consider a few steps: Firstly, use an extendable duster. This tool is perfect for reaching those high corners without having to stand on tiptoe or a chair. Make sure the duster is long enough to reach all the way up to the ceiling and gently sweep down towards your body to avoid stirring up dust. Secondly, employ the use of microfiber cloths. These are excellent at trapping dust particles due to their tiny fibers that attract and hold onto dirt effectively without leaving streaks. Thirdly, consider using a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuum cleaner. This type is particularly good for capturing fine particles like those from storms. If you're having trouble with persistent dust in your home, it might be worth looking into one of these as they can do a thorough job cleaning the air and surfaces. Lastly, regular maintenance is key. Even after a storm, continue to vacuum and dust regularly to keep up with any new dust that may settle. In serious cases or if you have allergies, it's advisable to get a professional inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice can help conduct thorough inspections and recommend effective cleaning solutions.
