How can I manage dust after a storm?« Back to Previous Page

Managing dust after a storm can indeed be overwhelming, especially considering the recent heavy dust storms experienced in Dubai. Here are some practical steps you can take to ensure your living space stays clean and comfortable.

Firstly, it's important to understand that regular cleaning is key to maintaining good indoor air quality (IAQ) in the UAE. The regulations in place encourage businesses and residents to keep their spaces free from dust and other contaminants. For instance, the Building Code of Dubai sets standards for IAQ which include minimizing dust accumulation.

When tackling the dust in your living room, start by wearing a mask and gloves to protect yourself. Use a damp cloth or microfiber duster instead of a dry one as it helps trap dust particles rather than sending them into the air where they can be inhaled.

To clean the shelves effectively:
1. Remove all items from the shelves and sort through them for any that may have been damaged by moisture during the storm.
2. Use a vacuum cleaner with an attachment to gently suction off the dust, starting at the top of each shelf and working your way down. This helps prevent dust from falling on already cleaned areas.
3. For stubborn stains or grime, mix warm water with a small amount of mild detergent in a bucket. Dip a sponge into this solution and wring it out well before wiping surfaces gently.

If you find that the layer of dust is particularly heavy after multiple storms, consider hiring a professional cleaning service like Saniservice. They have specialized equipment and techniques to handle such situations effectively and can provide peace of mind knowing your indoor environment is safe.

Regular inspection for IAQ is also recommended, especially in areas prone to frequent sandstorms or other weather conditions that may affect dust levels. In Dubai, you could contact companies offering environmental inspections to ensure compliance with local standards.

Remember, the key to managing dust effectively lies not just in cleaning but maintaining a routine and being proactive about monitoring your environment’s cleanliness and air quality. If at any point you notice unusual symptoms or concerns regarding IAQ, don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance.
