Can I clean the store shelves or need help?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a thick layer of dust on all the shelves in our store’s back room. It's been almost six months since our last deep clean, and honestly, it’s looking pretty bad. Can anyone recommend if this is something that could be handled by myself or if we need to hire someone for a thorough cleaning?

Absolutely, you can tackle the shelving dust yourself for a quick and efficient clean-up! In Dubai/UAE, it's crucial to keep your retail environment free from dust as it not only affects the aesthetic but also the overall indoor air quality. Given the recent dust storm, it’s understandable that a thorough cleaning is required.

First off, ensure you have the right tools: microfiber cloths, a good vacuum cleaner with attachments for tight spaces, and some mild detergent if needed. Regularly check the shelves for any loose items or display units which might get dusty more easily and clean them as well to prevent recontamination.

Start by removing all items from the shelves so you can access every nook and cranny without obstruction. Then use a damp microfiber cloth followed by a dry one to wipe down each surface. For tougher spots, a mild detergent solution should do the trick but make sure it's thoroughly rinsed off afterward to avoid leaving any residue.

However, if you find that your store’s backroom has been neglected for over half a year and dust is piling up heavily, consider seeking professional help. In Dubai, regulations like those from the Department of Municipalities & Urban Planning (DM&UP) advocate for cleanliness in commercial spaces, so a thorough clean could be beneficial not just to maintain aesthetics but also to meet health standards.

If you decide to go with a professional service, I highly recommend Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or hello@saniservice.com. They offer expert cleaning solutions that can ensure your retail space looks and feels fresh post-dust storm. Remember, keeping your store clean is key not only for customer satisfaction but also for the longevity of your products.

In summary, while you can certainly handle a dusting yourself with some effort, if it's been quite long since the last deep clean or if the task seems overwhelming, reaching out to professionals could be the best choice.
