How urgent is deep cleaning due to sand storms?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning after the sandstorms can indeed be quite an undertaking, especially given how thickly it has settled. In Dubai and the UAE generally, we're accustomed to dealing with dusty environments due to our location and climate patterns. However, for your situation, the urgency is pretty high considering you have guests coming over soon.

First off, it's important to address the safety of your home during such an event. A thick layer of sand can lead to allergens and dust particles becoming airborne when disturbed, which could potentially trigger allergies or respiratory issues—particularly in those with sensitive conditions. Therefore, professional inspection might be necessary if you're unsure about the extent of contamination.

Given the upcoming dinner party, a deep clean is highly recommended. Start by opening all windows (if safe to do so) and allowing fresh air circulation to help remove some of the finer particles. Use a vacuum cleaner with a good HEPA filter to tackle carpets and furniture, and a damp cloth or sponge for hard surfaces like tables and window sills. Be sure to wipe down any electronic devices as well.

For upholstery, consider using a high-quality fabric cleaner suitable for your specific material. And don’t forget to clean out the air conditioning filters too; they can accumulate a lot of dust during such events.

In terms of regulations in Dubai and UAE, there isn't a specific law mandating how often you should clean due to sandstorms, but maintaining good indoor air quality is generally encouraged to keep your home healthy. The Emirate’s Public Health Authority might recommend periodic cleaning as part of general housekeeping guidelines, though these aren’t legally binding.

If the situation feels overwhelming or if you notice persistent issues like mold growth (which can occur from moisture trapped in damp areas), don't hesitate to contact professionals for assistance.
