Can frequent dust storms be managed at home?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the dust storm that hit Dubai this week, I’ve noticed a layer of fine, almost powdery dirt settling on everything in my living room—furniture, books, even the blinds. It’s been there since yesterday and seems to be worsening despite trying to clean with damp cloths. Have any of you dealt with such frequent dust storms? Can it be managed at home, or is professional help necessary for a thorough clean-up?

Absolutely, frequent dust storms can be managed at home though it might take some effort and organization. Given the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, I've seen several clients dealing with this exact issue. It's a common concern here especially during peak dust season.
First off, i'd suggest keeping your living space tightly sealed if possible. Close all windows and doors to prevent more dust from entering. However, if you do need to open a window for ventilation, consider using a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter or air purifier which can help trap fine particles. For cleaning the mess that's already on surfaces, damp cloths are indeed helpful but you might need a bit more force than usual. Use microfiber cloths as they're great at capturing dust without spreading it around. Another tip is to clean in small sections so you can see when you've covered an area and avoid missing spots. If the storm was really strong or if the dust seems particularly stubborn, i'd recommend getting a professional inspection. This way, you can ensure that all areas of your home are thoroughly cleaned and that there's no hidden damage from the dust storms. For such services in dubai, you could call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Remember to address any potential moisture issues post-storm as this can lead to mold growth which is another concern for our climate here. Keeping an eye on humidity levels and addressing leaks promptly is key. Lastly, consider using indoor plants or air-purifying devices that not only improve the look of your home but also help in reducing airborne particulates. In summary, while dust storms pose a challenge, with some effort you can manage it effectively at home. If things get overwhelming though, don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance! |
