How can I clean dust without disturbing my children?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I’ve noticed a lot of dust accumulating on my family room shelves, especially near where my children play with their toys. It’s quite concerning as they spend so much time there and are often getting sick. How can I effectively clean this area without causing too much disturbance to them?

Cleaning dust without disturbing your children can indeed be a delicate task. Here at Saniservice, we often deal with similar issues and have some effective strategies to share.

Firstly, it's important to ensure that the area you're cleaning is safe for both your family and the home environment. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, indoor air quality can sometimes get compromised due to factors like dust storms or even construction activities outside. A professional inspection could be beneficial if you suspect any serious issues.

When it comes to cleaning the shelves where your children play, I’d recommend a few steps:

1. Timing is Key: Choose a time when your kids are not around. Early morning or late evening can work well as they're often engaged in other activities during these hours.

2. Use Microfiber Cloths: These cloths are super effective at trapping dust and dirt without leaving behind any lint or fibers that might irritate your children's skin, especially if they have allergies.

3. Dust from Top to Bottom: Start from the top of the shelves and work your way down. This prevents dust from falling back onto lower items as you clean.

4. Soft Brushes or Sponges: For tight spaces like corners, use a soft brush or sponge to gently remove dust without causing too much disturbance.

5. Ventilation Check: Make sure windows are slightly open if weather permits. Good ventilation can help reduce the concentration of dust and allergens in the air.

6. Dust Collectors: If you have large amounts of dust, consider using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to ensure that even fine particles aren't left behind.

7. Regular Maintenance: Once cleaned, set up a regular cleaning schedule to keep the area dust-free. This will help maintain good indoor air quality and reduce your children's exposure to allergens.

Remember, if you notice persistent issues or suspect mold growth, it’s wise to call in professionals like us at Saniservice for a thorough inspection and remediation process. We can assess any potential hazards and provide safe solutions tailored to Dubai’s climate and regulations.
