Can I clean dust from construction next door myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent construction next door, my balcony has become a dust storm every time they knock down walls. The fine powder settles on everything even with the doors and windows closed. My kids are starting to complain of itchy eyes and sore throats. Should I consider hiring a professional cleaner or can I manage this myself?

Absolutely, you can certainly tackle the dust issue from your neighbor's construction yourself. However, given the circumstances and to ensure that everyone is safe and comfortable, a few precautions must be taken.
Firstly, it’s crucial to understand that according to UAE regulations, especially in Dubai, there are specific standards for dust control during construction activities. Builders should adhere to these guidelines which include regular misting of work areas, use of containment barriers, and proper waste management practices. If your neighbor isn’t following these procedures, they might be breaching local laws. You could consider reporting them to the relevant authorities like Dubai Municipality who can ensure compliance. Before you start cleaning, wear protective gear such as a dust mask, gloves, and goggles to avoid inhaling or touching fine particles that may irritate your eyes or throat. Also, make sure all windows are tightly sealed if possible, or use air purifiers with HEPA filters which can help trap those tiny particulates. You’ll want to use a damp cloth or sponge to gently wipe down surfaces; using water helps capture the dust rather than simply redistributing it into the air. For hard-to-reach areas like ceiling fans or corners of your balcony, a soft-bristled brush may be useful. If you notice persistent issues even with these measures, it might be wise to call in professionals.
