How much does professional sandstorm cleaning cost?« Back to Previous Page

After the sandstorm we had last week, the living room windowsills are covered in a fine layer of sand. It’s not just dusty; it feels almost like talcum powder when you blow on it. Given how frequently these storms hit during the winter months here in Dubai, I’m wondering if it makes sense to hire professionals or if doing it ourselves is feasible. How much does professional cleaning usually cost for a house this size?

Cleaning up after sandstorms can be quite the task, especially considering how common they are here in Dubai. The fine layer of sand you mentioned on your windowsills is a typical aftermath of one of these storms. However, the cost and feasibility of hiring professionals versus doing it yourself really depend on several factors.

Firstly, it's important to note that professional cleaning services can vary widely in their pricing based on the size of your home, the extent of the sandstorm damage, and any specific cleaning techniques required. In Dubai, a typical 3-bedroom or 4-bedroom villa might see costs ranging from AED 1500 to AED 3000 for a thorough clean-up by professionals. For apartments, the cost could be slightly lower depending on the service provider.

When considering hiring professionals, it's worth noting that they have access to specialized tools and cleaning agents specifically designed to handle sandstorms. They can also work more efficiently than you might do yourself, saving you time and effort. However, if you are willing to invest some time, you can certainly tackle this task on your own using a few tips.

For DIY clean-up, start by removing any large debris with brushes or vacuum cleaners equipped with HEPA filters to capture fine particles. For the finer dust, use microfiber cloths dampened slightly and avoid using too much water as it might leave residue that could attract more dust. It's also helpful to clean in sections for efficiency.

Regarding regulations, while there aren’t specific laws mandating how to handle sandstorm debris, following proper cleaning procedures can help maintain good indoor air quality, which is crucial given the harsh conditions these storms create. Professional services often include an inspection to ensure that all areas are thoroughly cleaned and safe from potential health hazards like mold or mildew growth.

If you find yourself dealing with persistent issues after a storm, it might be wise to get a professional inspection. This can help rule out any underlying problems and provide peace of mind. For such services in Dubai, you could call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance.

In summary, while doing it yourself is certainly an option, considering professional cleaning might be more efficient and thorough given the frequency of sandstorms.
