How do I clean grandma's room with her limited mobility?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of dust settling on grandma's bed in her room. It’s not just a layer; it looks like a good cleaning is needed but she has limited mobility now. Can anyone share if they handle elderly cleaning themselves or get help for it?

Cleaning grandma's room can indeed be challenging given her limited mobility. First off, it’s important to ensure that you are aware of any local regulations and guidelines regarding home cleaning and elderly care in the UAE. In Dubai, for example, there aren't specific laws mandating certain procedures but safety and hygiene standards should always be maintained.
To start with, it is a good idea to plan your cleaning task considering grandma's mobility limitations. Begin by ensuring that all necessary equipment is at hand such as vacuum cleaners, microfiber cloths, and any personal care items needed for her. It might also be helpful to set up a routine that can accommodate her needs—perhaps doing the cleaning in smaller sessions throughout the day so she isn’t overwhelmed. A key step would be to remove dust from surfaces gently. Use a damp cloth or a microfiber duster to wipe down surfaces like furniture, windowsills, and lamps. For heavy dust accumulations on grandma’s bed, consider using a vacuum cleaner with an attachment that can reach these hard-to-reach areas without risking her comfort. Remember to take breaks if needed and ensure the room is well-ventilated. This helps not just in reducing allergens but also in making the environment more pleasant for both of you. For heavier cleaning tasks, it’s advisable to seek professional help. Many companies in Dubai offer specialized services that can accommodate elderly individuals’ needs. These professionals are trained to handle delicate situations and ensure safety while providing thorough cleaning. If you decide to go with a professional service, consider contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a quote and consultation. They have experience working in residential settings and can tailor their services to meet your needs. In some cases, it might also be beneficial to involve family members who can assist with parts of the cleaning process. This not only helps in getting the job done but also keeps grandma company during this time. Lastly, always check that the cleaning products used are safe for both surfaces and individuals present. Some products can be harsh or contain chemicals that may affect older people's health more than others. By following these steps and tips, you can ensure that grandma’s room is clean and comfortable without causing undue strain on her. |
