After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, I’ve noticed a thick layer of dust has settled on all the surfaces in my living room, including the electronics and window sills. The air feels heavy and stale, and I’m worried it might not be safe to breathe. How urgent is it for me to clean everything thoroughly right away?

Absolutely, cleaning urgency is high aftr the recent dust storm. The thick layer of dust is not just unsightly but could pose health risks, particulary in such a dry climate as we have in Dubai. Dust can carry allergens, mold spores, and other microorganisms that might affect your respiratory system. Given the air quality issues post-dust storm, it's crucial to address this promptly.
Firstly, you should take steps to clean all surfaces thoroughly, but be mindful of safety when handling electronics and other delicate items. Use a soft cloth or a slightly damp one (to avoid water damage) and gently wipe down all surfaces, including window sills and electronic devices. It’s also wise to clean air vents and filters in your AC units as well, as they can trap dust particles and recirculate them back into the environment. Regarding the air quality, it's indeed a bit heavy and stale, which might affect breathing, particulary for those with respiratory issues or allergies. In such cases, consider using an indoor air purifier to help improve air quality until you can clean more extensively. These devices can filter out some of the dust and allergens. For more serious concerns about your indoor environment, it would be advisable to seek a professional inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive environmental inspections and remediation services. They can provide detailed reports on the state of your air quality and surfaces, ensuring that all risks are identified and addressed.

Alternatively, you can email hello@saniservice.com for more information on their services. Remember, maintaining good indoor environmental quality is key to your health and well-being. Cleaning thoroughly right away will help reduce the risk of potential health issues and make your living space more comfortable. |
