How can I prevent dust accumulation after storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed an unusual amount of dust settling on everything in the living room. Even after vacuuming, there’s still a fine layer of dust everywhere. The AC filter also seems to be more clogged than usual. How can I prevent this from happening again and keep my living space cleaner for longer?

Cleaning removes dust and other particulates from surfaces and air. In the UAE particularly in Dubai, post-storm situations often see an increase in dust accumulation due to harsh winds sweeping through. To keep your living space cleaner for longer, you can take several proactive steps.
Firstly, ensure that your air conditioning units are thoroughly cleaned. The AC filters are key components; they trap a lot of the airborne particles and dust. A clogged filter not only affects the quality of indoor air but also reduces the efficiency of your HVAC system. Given Dubai's climate, it’s wise to get an inspection every 6 months for optimal performance. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need a professional service. Secondly, regular cleaning and maintenance are essential. Use microfiber cloths which can trap particles more effectively than conventional ones. For surfaces that are prone to dust such as window sills, ceiling fans, and baseboards, make it a habit to clean them at least once a week. In case of storms like the one you experienced recently, be prepared to deep clean your living room right after the event. Thirdly, invest in good quality furniture covers during stormy seasons. This can help prevent dust from settling on upholstered items and maintain their appearance for longer. Lastly, consider using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum cleaner which is designed specifically for capturing fine particles that regular vacuums might miss. This will ensure your cleaning efforts are more effective in reducing dust levels. Remember, keeping your home clean isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s also about maintaining good indoor air quality, especially important in a place like Dubai where the climate can be quite harsh and dusty at times. If you find that despite your best efforts, dust continues to accumulate, it might be time for a professional inspection to identify any hidden issues or sources of contamination. By following these tips, you should see noticeable improvements in your indoor environment quality and keep your living space cleaner longer. |
