How can I clean post-dust storm without damaging furniture?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm, I’ve noticed a layer of fine, almost invisible dust settling on everything in our newly renovated master suite. The air quality is also worrying; my wife and kids have been complaining about their throats hurting, and I suspect it might be from all this cleaning we’re trying to do ourselves. We want to clean properly but don’t want to risk damaging the luxurious furniture or making things worse for everyone’s health. How should I approach deep-cleaning in a way that’s both thorough and gentle on our furnishings?

Cleaning post-dust storm without damaging furniture is crucial especially in our region where environmental conditions can be quite harsh. The recent dust storms have left a fine layer of particulates that could potentially harm your health and the luxurious furnishings in your master suite.
To start, it's important to conduct an initial inspection with an expert. In Dubai, we recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 for a professional assessment of air quality and potential damage. This step will ensure you don't miss any hidden issues that could lead to bigger problems. When it comes to cleaning your furniture, here are some practical tips: 1. Use Microfiber Cloths: These cloths trap dust without leaving lint or fibers behind. They're gentle on surfaces yet effective in picking up fine particles. 2. Dust Carefully: Dust from top to bottom and work in sections. Use a soft-bristled brush or microfiber duster for delicate pieces like lampshades, picture frames, and other decorative items. For upholstery, use a vacuum cleaner with a soft nozzle attachment to avoid damage. 3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stick to mild cleaning solutions that are safe for your furniture’s surface. Products specifically designed for fabric or wood can be found at local stores like Souk or Al Quoz Marketplace. Avoid using anything too strong as it may cause discoloration or damage. 4. Air Quality Considerations: Your family's health is paramount, especially with complaints of sore throats. Ensure proper ventilation while cleaning to reduce exposure to dust and other allergens. Opening windows for a short time can help, but be mindful of the outside conditions – if it’s still dusty, consider using an air purifier. 5. Professional Cleaning: For thorough cleaning, consider hiring professionals who specialize in luxury home care. Companies like Saniservice offer services that are tailored to maintain the quality and appearance of your furnishings without causing harm. 6. Regular Maintenance: Once you've tackled this post-storm clean-up, establish a regular maintenance schedule. This will help keep your furniture looking its best and prevent future dust build-ups. Remember, in the UAE, we have strict building codes and regulations that ensure indoor environments are safe and healthy. By taking these steps, not only will you improve the air quality for your family but also preserve the beauty of your home’s furnishings.
