How can I prevent dust from settling on surfaces without daily cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storm that hit Dubai, I noticed a lot of dust settling on all the surfaces in my living room. Despite cleaning it thoroughly last week, the furniture and windowsills are still coated with a layer of fine dust. The problem seems to be worse because we have a lot of open blinds. How can I prevent this from happening again without having to clean every day?

Cleaning during Ramadan can indeed be quite the challenge, especially after dust storms. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience such storms that leave behind a fine layer of dust on all surfaces. Preventing this accumulation without daily cleaning requires a multi-faceted approach.
Firstly, the use of blinds in your living room is contributing to the issue. Open blinds allow external dust particles to easily enter your home. To minimize this, you might consider switching to more effective window treatments like drapes or heavy curtains that can be closed when not in use. This simple change can significantly reduce dust entry. Secondly, air purifiers and HEPA filters are highly recommended. These devices help remove fine particles from the air before they settle on surfaces. In fact, according to local regulations, the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) encourages the use of such equipment in homes and offices for better indoor air quality. Another key step is maintaining a regular cleaning schedule. While daily cleaning might seem like too much work, setting aside specific days each week for deep cleaning can be more manageable. Focus on areas where dust tends to accumulate most—like furniture corners, windowsills, and above electrical fixtures. Using microfiber cloths or specialized dusting tools can also make the task easier. These materials are designed to capture fine particles without leaving behind lint. For those who find the process overwhelming, professional cleaning services in Dubai such as 800-MOLDS (800-66537) could be a good option. Finally, considering your location and climate, it’s wise to occasionally check for any structural issues that might be contributing to dust entry. Leaky windows or poorly sealed doors can allow more dust into the home. A professional environmental inspection can help identify these problems and provide solutions tailored to your specific situation. Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is not only about aesthetics but also about health. If you find that despite all efforts, the dust continues to be an issue, it might be time for a professional assessment.

By taking these steps, you can ensure that your living space remains clean and dust-free during Ramadan and beyond. |
