How often should I clean sand from my apartment?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the sandstorm last week, I noticed a thick layer of fine sand settling on every surface in my second-floor apartment. The furniture, curtains, even the window sills are all coated with this dust, making it look like someone sprinkled sand everywhere. Given how often these storms hit during the winter months, should I consider hiring professionals to clean the sand regularly or is there an affordable way to manage this myself?

Cleaning sand from your apartment can indeed be a tedious task, but it's crucial for maintaining the aesthetics and health of your home. Given that sandstorms are quite common in Dubai and the UAE during winter months, it’s important to establish a cleaning routine that suits your needs.
To start, you should consider the frequency of sandstorms hitting your area. If they occur every few weeks, regular cleaning might be necessary. A good rule of thumb is to clean after each significant storm or at least once a week if the conditions permit. However, if you're having frequent storms, it's highly recommended that you set up a schedule and possibly hire professionals for thorough cleaning. When it comes to tackling sand on your own, start by removing large particles using a vacuum cleaner with an attachment for hard floors. Be sure to use a HEPA filter vacuum which can capture smaller dust particles too. For fabrics like curtains or upholstery, gently shake them outside or use a soft-bristled brush followed by a light vacuuming. For window sills and other surfaces, a mixture of mild detergent and water might work well for gentle cleaning without scratching the surfaces. Make sure to dry everything thoroughly afterward to prevent moisture buildup which can lead to mold growth – always a concern in the UAE due to its humid climate even during winter months. If you find yourself overwhelmed or if there's significant damage from sand, such as blocked ventilation systems or water leaks, it’s wise to call in professionals.
