Is cleaning better covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed an unusually high amount of dust on every surface in the living room, including the windowsills and behind furniture. It’s worrying how quickly it has accumulated despite regular cleaning. The AC filter also looks caked with dirt. How urgent is it to clean these areas thoroughly, and what steps should I take right away?

Cleaning better isn't typically covered by insurance policies unless it's part of a specific contract or agreement. Most standard home insurances won’t reimburse you for regular cleaning tasks such as dusting windowsills, vacuuming carpets, or even changing the AC filters.

However, if this accumulation of dust is due to an unusual event like a heavy storm that caused significant damage, then it might be worth checking with your insurance provider. They may cover some of these costs under the terms of your policy, especially if the storm was declared as a natural disaster in your area.

In the UAE, particularly Dubai, there are no specific laws mandating regular cleaning practices. But, it's wise to keep your indoor environment clean and healthy for both comfort and safety reasons. Dust and dirt can accumulate quickly, even with regular cleaning schedules, which might indicate that your current methods need an upgrade.

To address this issue promptly:

1. Thoroughly vacuum all carpets and rugs.
2. Dust surfaces including windowsills, furniture corners, and ceiling fans using microfiber cloths or a duster to avoid spreading dust.
3. Clean the AC filter by rinsing it with water (after turning off the system) and letting it dry completely before reinserting it.

If you find that despite your best efforts, dust continues to accumulate rapidly, it might be time to call in professionals.
