How to safely clean balcony furniture after a dust storm?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the dust storm we had last week, which left a fine layer of dirt all over our balcony furniture, I’m not sure if my cleaning supplies are enough to handle it myself. The storm was particularly bad – winds were gusting up to 60 km/h, and it’s been at least two days since it cleared. My neighbors seem to be doing just fine, but I want to make sure I don’t damage the furniture or miss any spots. Do you have any tips on how best to clean after a dust storm without risking anything?

Cleaning balcony furniture post-dust storm in the UAE can be a bit of a challenge but it's definitely manageable. The key is to do it carefully and efficiently. Here are some steps you could follow:
Firstly, ensure that the furniture has completely dried out from any moisture or dampness. After a 60km/h wind storm, water might have gathered in recesses leading to mold growth if not addressed properly. To start off, use a soft cloth or sponge and mild soap solution to gently wipe down the surface of your furniture. This helps in removing the finer dust particles that may have been left behind by the storm. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they could damage the finish or cause discoloration over time. After washing, you can move on to vacuuming the furniture with a handheld vacuum cleaner. Make sure not to use too much pressure which might scratch your furniture’s surface. For hard-to-reach areas, a paintbrush can come in handy. Ensure that all parts of your furniture are thoroughly cleaned. For outdoor furniture, it's recommended to apply a protective sealant after cleaning. This will help keep the furniture looking good and protected from future storms or sun damage. Use products specifically made for outdoor use as they provide better resistance against UV rays and weather elements. If you're unsure about how to proceed or if your furniture shows any signs of damage, it's best to contact a professional inspection service. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are known for their expertise in this area. Their services can range from simple cleaning advice to full restoration and protection measures. Remember, the key is gentle care when handling outdoor furniture after dust storms. Regular maintenance will also help keep your furniture looking good even during extreme weather conditions.
