Can we clean up dust ourselves?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our living room, we’ve had a persistent cloud of dust lingering around. It’s especially noticeable when sunlight streams through the windows, casting shadows that dance with tiny motes of dust. My kids have been complaining about coughing fits, and I’m worried it might be from all this construction debris floating around. Do you think we can handle cleaning this up ourselves, or should we call in professional help?

Absolutely, You can certainly take steps to tackle the dust yourself. However, it's crucial to be aware of certain factors that might make professional assistance necessary.

Firstly, construction dust is a common issue post-renovation, especially in regions like Dubai where climate conditions can exacerbate the problem. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and health risks. It’s important to ensure your environment complies with these guidelines, which include reducing exposure to harmful particles that can trigger respiratory issues.

If you decide to clean up on your own, start by ensuring proper ventilation in the area. Open windows or use fans to circulate fresh air. This can help reduce the concentration of dust and other particulates. Utilize a damp cloth or mop when cleaning surfaces to avoid spreading dust through the air as much as possible.

For larger spaces like living rooms, you might need to employ a vacuum cleaner with high-efficiency particle air (HEPA) filters. These are particularly effective in capturing fine particles that can cause respiratory issues, especially for children and those with existing health conditions.

Moreover, it’s worth considering professional inspection if the dust persists or if anyone in your household experiences persistent symptoms such as coughing fits. A professional environmental inspector can assess the situation and provide a thorough cleaning plan tailored to the specific needs of your home. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are known for their expertise in this area.

In some cases, especially when dealing with larger renovation projects or if you have asthma or other respiratory issues, it might be wise to call in professionals who can use specialized equipment and techniques to ensure a safer environment.

Remember, if the situation seems concerning or if you're unsure about what steps to take, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how we can assist in creating a healthier living space.

Keep in mind that while some of these tips are specific to the UAE and Dubai, the principles apply broadly - proper cleaning practices and addressing any health concerns promptly is key.
