Can DIY methods clean persistent dust after sandstorms?« Back to Previous Page

Indoor Air Quality is crucial, especially after those intense sandstorms we've been experiencing. While DIY methods can be helpful, they might not fully address the persistent dustiness you're encountering in your living room. Here are a few steps you could try:

Firstly, ensure your air purifier is functioning at its best. Check for filters that need replacing and maintain it according to manufacturer's instructions. In Dubai, where regulations may vary slightly from other regions, make sure your unit meets local standards.

Second, enhance natural ventilation as much as possible without risking further dust intrusion. Keep an eye on weather reports and open windows when the air is clearer and less dusty. This can help circulate some fresh air while minimizing particle entry.

Thirdly, deep cleaning might be necessary. Dusting surfaces with a damp cloth or using microfiber cloths can trap more particles than dry methods. Be thorough—get into corners and under furniture where dust tends to accumulate. For carpets, consider vacuuming with a HEPA filter if available; it’s better for capturing smaller particles.

Fourth, you could try using humidifiers in your home. While they add moisture which can help reduce static electricity that attracts dust, use them carefully as over-humidification can lead to mold growth—a serious issue in the UAE where high humidity is a concern.

If these steps don’t significantly improve the situation, it might be time to call for professional inspection and remediation. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are equipped with expertise and tools that can identify and address more complex issues. Their services could help you understand exactly what’s causing the persistent dustiness and how best to tackle it.

Remember, in the UAE, environmental health is regulated by local authorities, so it's always good to ensure any steps taken align with these guidelines for long-term benefits.
