How can I clean dust from hard-to-reach areas?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense sandstorms we had last week, I noticed a layer of fine dust settling on everything in my living room and dining area. It's hard to reach some corners and there are spots under the furniture that I'm not sure how to clean effectively without damaging anything. Can someone recommend a practical way to tackle this or do you think it might be best to hire professionals for such a thorough cleaning?

Cleaning hard-to-reach areas can be quite the challenge, especially after such intense sandstorms. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen a lot of dust accumulation post-storms. Here are some practical steps you can take to tackle those pesky corners without risking damage:

Firstly, ensure that your cleaning methods comply with local regulations, which in the UAE include guidelines set by entities like the Department of Municipalities and Urban Planning (DM&UP). For instance, using microfiber cloths or dusters is generally recommended as they are less likely to scratch surfaces.

Start off by clearing out any clutter from hard-to-reach areas. This not only makes cleaning easier but also helps in reducing dust accumulation over time. Once the area is clear, use a vacuum cleaner with an extendable hose to reach those tricky spots under furniture or behind drapes. A good quality HEPA filter can capture fine particles and allergens effectively.

For corners and crevices, consider using a telescopic duster or even a small brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. This allows you to get into tight spaces without risking damage. Remember, it’s better to use gentle pressure when cleaning delicate surfaces like wood or glass.

In the living room and dining area, avoid using harsh chemicals as they can leave residues and potentially harm finishes. Instead, opt for a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down surfaces. For tougher stains or grime, you might mix some mild detergent with water but ensure it is thoroughly rinsed off afterwards to prevent any residue.

If after all your efforts the dust remains stubborn, it may be time to consider professional assistance. Dubai-based companies like Saniservice are equipped with state-of-the-art tools and expertise to handle thorough cleaning tasks safely and effectively. They can provide services that go beyond what a DIY approach might achieve, ensuring a deep clean without risk of damage.
