How can I prevent sand from accumulating indoors?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a layer of fine sand collecting on all the furniture and even in some corners of my living room. Despite vacuuming regularly, it seems to keep coming back, especially after the windows are opened for ventilation. Is there a specific cleaning technique or product that can help me prevent this from happening again?

Cleaning rules are vital to maintaining good indoor environmental quality. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we face challenges like dust storms which can bring fine sand into our homes. To effectively tackle this issue and prevent sand from accumulating indoors, you need a multi-pronged approach.

Firstly, consider installing air purifiers or HEPA filters. These devices help trap particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust and pollen, which are common in dust storms. In Dubai, where the climate can be quite harsh, investing in such equipment is highly recommended to maintain a cleaner environment.

Secondly, use microfiber cloths and damp mops for cleaning. Microfiber traps more dust than traditional materials without leaving streaks behind. Regularly clean your windowsills, doors, and other surfaces that might act as entry points for sand. This helps prevent the spread of fine particles throughout your home.

Thirdly, consider professional cleaning services after a major dust storm or during times when you expect high particulate matter in the air. These experts can use specialized tools to deep clean areas that are hard to reach and ensure a thorough job.

Additionally, sealing gaps around windows and doors with weatherstripping might reduce entry points for sand. Check your home regularly for any signs of leaks or drafts that could be allowing dust inside.

Lastly, if you continue experiencing issues despite these measures, it may be time to call in the professionals for an inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive inspections tailored to Dubai’s climate and can provide targeted solutions for your specific needs.
