Can I clean office dust myself?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last week, I’ve noticed a layer of fine sand and dust settling on all the surfaces in my office space, which is right next to the living room. It’s been about two weeks since we moved in here, but it feels like it could use some serious attention. Given that we have a tight budget, can I manage cleaning the office myself or should I consider hiring a professional?

Cleaning office dust yourself can be quite manageable and cost-effective, especially considering the tight budget. However, there are several factors to consider before you decide on DIY cleaning versus hiring a professional.
Firstly, it’s important to note that after such heavy dust storms in Dubai, the air quality can indeed get significantly affected. The sand and dust settling on your office surfaces might not just be from outside; indoor pollutants could have been stirred up as well. Given this context, it would be wise to ensure that your office environment is thoroughly cleaned before any work resumes. DIY Cleaning Tips: • Start by using a damp cloth or sponge to gently remove the sand and dust. Avoid using too much water which can lead to water damage on certain surfaces. • Vacuum all carpets and rugs carefully, paying attention to corners and under furniture where dust tends to accumulate. • For hard surfaces like desks and shelves, use a microfiber cloth or duster for effective cleaning without leaving lint behind. • Don’t forget about the air conditioning filters; they need regular cleaning too as they can become clogged with debris. Professional Inspection: If you notice any persistent issues such as mold growth, odors, or if the dust seems to be causing health problems among your staff, it might be a good idea to seek professional help. In Dubai, UAE-specific regulations require that indoor environments should maintain certain standards of air quality and cleanliness for public health. Saniservice is one company you can reach out to; they offer comprehensive mold inspections and remediation services if needed. You can call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on their services. In conclusion, while DIY cleaning works well in most cases, it’s essential to keep an eye out for any signs of a deeper problem that might require professional attention. Ensuring your office environment is clean and healthy not only boosts productivity but also maintains the aesthetic appeal of your workspace. |
