How can I clean for summer without making dust worse?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning for summer can indeed be quite the task, especially after the intense heat we experienced. In Dubai and the UAE, it's crucial to approach this cleaning spree strategically to ensure you don't make things worse. Here are some tips tailored for our region that should help keep your living room dust-free without causing a bigger mess:

Firstly, always check if there are any specific guidelines or regulations from local authorities on indoor cleaning practices. Although the UAE doesn’t have stringent regulations like in other regions, it's wise to ensure you're not inadvertently breaking any codes while deep cleaning.

Start by preparing your space. Wearing disposable gloves and a mask will protect you from inhaling dust particles. It’s also good to open windows if possible to allow some fresh air through, but be mindful of the outside temperature and humidity as they can affect the outcome.

When tackling windowsills, use a soft microfiber cloth or duster to gently remove the fine dust layer. Be methodical; you don’t want to spread the dust around. For areas that are particularly sticky, you might consider using a damp cloth but be careful not to over-moisten surfaces as moisture can attract more dust and create mold in humid conditions.

For the rest of your living space, use HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) vacuums which are great at capturing fine particles. If you're dealing with larger areas or furniture, consider using a vacuum cleaner attachment to reach corners and under cushions where dust tends to accumulate.

Cleaning can be easier if done in sections. For instance, clean one room fully before moving onto the next. This approach helps manage the amount of dust being stirred up at any given time.

If you find that despite your efforts, there’s still a significant accumulation or the situation seems beyond what you can handle alone, it might be wise to call for professional help. Companies like Saniservice (contact them via 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offer services tailored to UAE environments and can provide the expertise needed.

Remember, thorough cleaning should ideally be done with a plan that includes regular maintenance. This will help keep your home dust-free even in the sticky summer months.
