How urgent is cleaning the dust and debris?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a lot of debris and dust on the windowsills and shelves in my living room. It’s pretty concerning because the kids have been playing there non-stop, and now it looks like a total mess. How urgent is this issue, and what should I clean first?

Cleaning the dust and debris from your living room is definitely something that should be given priority. Considering the recent dust storms we've had here in Dubai and the UAE, it's quite urgent to ensure a clean environment for you and especially for kids who play there non-stop.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that the presence of dust can pose health risks, particularly when it contains fine particles which can be inhaled. In the UAE, we are familiar with regional environmental conditions like sandstorms and desert winds that could carry allergens into your home. It's recommended to start by gently cleaning the windowsills and shelves where kids play, as these areas might have a higher concentration of dust.

To begin, use a soft cloth or duster to remove loose particles from surfaces. Be sure not to overly agitate the dust which can cause it to become airborne. If you notice that the dust is firmly attached, using a slightly damp microfiber cloth could be more effective in removing stubborn dirt without damaging any finishes on the furniture.

After clearing visible debris, vacuuming carpets and rugs will help eliminate allergens and irritants from floor surfaces. It’s also a good idea to open windows if weather permits for some natural ventilation; this can help reduce indoor pollutants and make your living space feel more refreshed.

For deeper cleaning or if you notice persistent issues with mold or pests, it might be worth calling in professionals like those at Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS / 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com). They can provide a thorough inspection and appropriate remediation solutions based on local UAE standards.

Remember to keep the cleaning process safe for kids by using non-toxic cleaning products and ensuring that any chemicals are properly stored away from their reach. Regular maintenance, like this quick clean-up after storms, will help maintain good indoor air quality and create a safer environment at home.

Cleaning is not just about aesthetics but also about your family’s health and comfort. Let's keep our living spaces in Dubai clean and healthy!
