How can I stop dust from settling on furniture?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I’ve noticed a layer of fine, grey dust coating almost everything in my living room—especially on the windowsills and furniture. It’s been really frustrating because it seems to come back every time there’s wind or sand. How can I prevent this from happening again?

Cleaning new, dust control is indeed a challenge especially after such windy conditions like the recent sandstorm. In dubai and the UAE, it can be quite common to experience this issue due to our proximity to desert areas which are prone to windstorms.

Firstly, understanding that local regulations might not specifically tackle dust management, you should consider taking proactive measures to combat this problem. Here’s a practical approach:

1. Regular Dusting: Use a microfiber cloth for regular cleaning of surfaces as it attracts and holds dust better than traditional cloths. Don’t forget the hard-to-reach corners where dust can accumulate.

2. Sealing Furniture: If you’re looking to protect your furniture, consider applying a clear sealant or furniture polish. This can help reduce the amount of dust that settles on them. In Dubai, products like those from local brands such as Al Maha or others may be effective.

3. Window Treatments: Covering windows with curtains or blinds can also prevent dust from settling directly onto your furniture. Opt for ones that are easy to clean and have pleats which trap more dirt than smooth fabrics.

4. Air Quality Control: Invest in an air purifier with a HEPA filter if possible. This will not only help reduce the amount of dust circulating but also improve overall indoor air quality, beneficial especially during sandstorms.

5. Regular Deep Cleaning: Plan for a deep clean every month or so when conditions are calmer. This can involve removing all furniture from the room and thoroughly cleaning the floor before repositioning everything.

6. Professional Help: Given the ongoing nature of this issue, it might be worth considering a professional indoor environmental inspection to assess the extent of the problem and get advice on long-term solutions. Saniservice is a reputable company in Dubai that can provide such services.

7. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance if you find dust settling despite your efforts. They may offer specialized cleaning products or methods tailored to your specific needs.

Remember, maintaining cleanliness and protecting surfaces are key steps in managing dust, but the environment around us can be challenging too. Stay proactive and don't hesitate to seek help when needed.
