How can I stop fine sand from accumulating in my home?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning up after the dust storms that hit Dubai recently can be quite a challenge. I understand how frustrating it must be to see fine sand accumulating on every surface even though you clean daily. Here are some steps you could take to prevent this from happening again and keep your home pristine.

Firstly, i recommend getting an inspection by a professional environmental service provider like ours at Saniservice. They can provide a thorough analysis of the situation and suggest any necessary remediation measures that might be needed in line with UAE building codes and regulations. You can contact us through 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information.

A few practical steps you can take include sealing gaps around windows, doors, vents, and other openings to prevent sand from entering your home. Using weatherstripping on doors and windows can be a simple DIY fix that could make a big difference. You might also consider installing door sweeps at the bottom of exterior doors which can help block sand from coming in.

Another tip is to use high-efficiency filters in your air conditioning system or add portable HEPA filters for better indoor air quality. These will trap fine particles before they circulate through your home.

When it comes to cleaning, a microfiber cloth and vacuum with a HEPA filter are ideal tools for capturing tiny particles without spreading them around. You might also want to consider using damp cloths instead of dry ones to prevent dust from flying up into the air as you clean.

Lastly, keeping plants inside can help to naturally filter out some of the airborne particles. Just make sure to water them regularly so they don’t get dusty themselves!

Remember, while these tips may help mitigate sand accumulation, it's always wise to seek professional advice especially if the problem persists or worsens.
