How can I prevent dust accumulation on balcony storage during Ramadan?« Back to Previous Page
|
Since we moved into our new apartment a few months ago, I’ve noticed that the balcony storage area gets really dusty during Ramadan. There are so many boxes of old clothes and things from my late grandmother that I rarely use, and it’s becoming a bigger issue each week with all the extra family visiting for iftar. The dust is starting to settle on everything, making it hard to keep clean even after I’ve wiped down the shelves. What can I do to prevent this dust from accumulating and make sure it stays clean throughout Ramadan?

Cleaning up during Ramadan can be a challenge but there's no need to worry about the dust accumulating on your balcony storage. With the extra family visiting and iftar meals, keeping everything tidy can seem almost impossible. Here are some tips that you could use to manage the situation:
Firstly, it’s crucial to assess the area for any potential mold or mildew issues, especially in a warm climate like Dubai's. If there are signs of moisture or dampness, then we recommend getting a professional inspection before proceeding with cleaning. Secondly, try to keep the balcony doors and windows closed when not using them to prevent dust from entering. You might also want to invest in some good quality window screens if you haven't got any already. This will help reduce the amount of dust settling on your stored items. Thirdly, it’s a good idea to cover valuable or sensitive items with protective covers. Dust bags and plastic sheets can be useful here; they’ll keep things clean while also protecting them from the occasional spill or mishap. Fourthly, regular cleaning is key. While you may not have time for thorough cleaning every day, try to allocate some time at least once a week to wipe down surfaces. A microfiber cloth works wonders in picking up dust without leaving streaks behind. For larger items that are difficult to move, consider using an extendable duster or a vacuum cleaner with an attachment. Finally, it’s always helpful to have everything organized so you know exactly what needs to be cleaned and where. Labeling storage boxes can also make the process quicker and less stressful. If you find yourself struggling with the volume of items stored, perhaps consider donating some things that no longer serve a purpose or are not being used. Remember, staying on top of dust accumulation is essential for maintaining good indoor environmental quality in your home during Ramadan.
