Should I hire professionals or do DIY dust removal?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent sandstorms, I’ve noticed a fine dust settling on everything inside my high-rise apartment in downtown Dubai. It’s quite bothersome because even after cleaning, it keeps coming back, especially on surfaces like my living room furniture and kitchen counters. Given how often these storms seem to hit, should I consider hiring professional dust removal services or is there an affordable DIY solution?

Absolutely, the recent sandstorms have made a mess of our indoor environments in Dubai. The fine desert dust can be particularly problematic as it seems to settle everywhere, even after thorough cleaning.

Firstly, i'd advise you to give your living room furniture and kitchen counters an extra deep clean with a damp cloth or microfiber cloths that trap the dust better than traditional cotton ones. A mixture of water and mild detergent works well for this purpose. Make sure to clean not just visible surfaces but also hard-to-reach areas like under furniture, inside cabinets, and behind appliances.

However, if you find that even after a thorough cleaning, the dust keeps coming back, it might be time to consider professional help. The UAE has strict building codes regarding indoor air quality, especially in high-rise apartments where dust can accumulate quickly. A professional inspection could pinpoint any issues with your apartment's sealing or ventilation systems that may need addressing.

Saniservice, a company i work for, specializes in environmental inspections and remediation. They can assess the extent of the issue and recommend appropriate solutions. If necessary, they might suggest installing air purifiers or HEPA filters which are particularly effective at capturing fine dust particles.

Additionally, regular maintenance and upkeep could prevent such issues from arising. Consider sealing any gaps around windows and doors to keep dust out. Also, keeping your windows closed during sandstorms can reduce the amount of dust entering your home.

Remember, if you notice persistent mold growth or unusual odors alongside the dust, a professional inspection is essential as these might indicate more serious underlying issues that require attention.

In the meantime, stay proactive about cleaning but also consider the long-term solutions to ensure you maintain a dust-free living space.
