How can I clean hard-to-reach dust spots without climbing?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent move to our new penthouse apartment, we've been having a lot of dust settling on everything. Even though I clean regularly, there are still spots that seem to accumulate more than others—like the corners by my son’s changing table in his room and behind the shelves in the nursery. The dust is really bothering me because I want to keep it as clean and healthy an environment as possible for him. How can I better manage the dust in these hard-to-reach areas without having to climb on a chair every day?

Cleaning those hard-to-reach spots can be a bit of a challenge, especially when dealing with dust that seems to settle like it does. In the UAE, and specifically in Dubai, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial for health, particularly for children. Here’s how you might tackle this without having to climb on a chair every day:
Firstly, ensure your cleaning routine includes high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. These filters are designed to capture tiny particles including dust and can significantly reduce allergens in the air. In Dubai, it's not uncommon for homes to have varying levels of outdoor pollution and dust which can easily infiltrate your home. Secondly, consider investing in an extendable duster or a telescopic cleaning brush. Both tools come in handy when dealing with corners like those by your son’s changing table. They allow you to reach those hard-to-reach spots without needing to use a ladder. You can find these at most local supermarkets and home improvement stores. Another option is using microfiber cloths, which are excellent for dusting as they trap dust and dirt instead of just pushing it around. Microfiber cloths are particularly useful in areas where you need to be gentle with surfaces like shelves behind which dust tends to accumulate. Using a vacuum cleaner with an appropriate attachment can also help manage dust effectively. There are specific attachments designed for hard-to-reach places, making them easier to clean without having to climb up or down. Regularly decluttering and organizing your space will also minimize the areas where dust can settle. Keeping surfaces clear of unnecessary items makes it simpler to keep things clean. For example, consider storing toys in closed bins instead of leaving them out on shelves or on the floor. If you find that despite your best efforts, dust levels remain high, it might be worth calling in a professional for an inspection. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice can conduct thorough inspections and provide recommendations tailored to your specific situation. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Lastly, consider the air quality of your home. In Dubai, humidity levels might be quite high due to our climate, and this can contribute to dust settling more quickly. Using dehumidifiers can help manage moisture in the air, reducing dust accumulation. By implementing these strategies, you can maintain a cleaner and healthier environment for your child without the hassle of constantly climbing on chairs or ladders. |
