Can heavy dust cause a strong odor?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had a few weeks ago, I noticed an unusual amount of dust bunnies piling up in my living room and bedroom. The smell is quite strong, especially when someone walks through these areas. Should I consider hiring a professional cleaning service or can I manage this myself?

Heavy dust can indeed cause strong odors, especially in areas like your living room and bedroom. The dust accumulation you're experiencing could be a result of the recent dust storms that hit the UAE, particularly in Dubai. This situation is not uncommon after such weather events.
In Dubai, we often see an increase in dust levels during dry seasons or after sandstorms. The dust can carry particles that interact with moisture and organic materials in your home, leading to the development of unpleasant odors. These odors might be more noticeable when someone walks through a room because their movement stirs up these particles, releasing them into the air. In your case, it's advisable to thoroughly clean the areas affected by dust bunnies. You can start with vacuuming all surfaces, including under furniture and in corners, using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter if possible. This will help capture fine dust and allergens effectively. After that, you could use a damp cloth or mop on floors to remove any remaining dust. However, given the intensity of the odor, it might be wise to consider professional assistance. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer thorough cleaning services tailored for such situations. Their professionals are equipped with the necessary tools and expertise to ensure your home is not only clean but also free from lingering odors. Remember, regular cleaning and maintaining a dust-free environment can prevent similar issues in the future. Consider setting up a routine that includes weekly vacuuming and monthly deep cleaning sessions. If you notice persistent or recurrent odors despite your efforts, it might be worth having an inspection to rule out other factors such as mold growth which is quite common post-storms.
