Is cleaning necessary due to dust storm?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy dust storm that swept through Dubai a couple of weeks ago, I’ve noticed an unusual amount of dust collecting in my living room, even with our air purifiers running at full capacity. The furniture and windowsills are covered in fine grit, making it hard to breathe sometimes when I clean. How urgent is it really to give the entire house a deep clean before Ramadan starts?

Cleaning is indeed imperative after the recent dust storm. The fine grit that's settling in your living room and other areas of your home can pose significant health risks, especially as we approach Ramadan where many might be spending more time indoors due to the heat outside.

Given the circumstances, it’s crucial to address this issue promptly. First off, it is recommended that you give your entire house a thorough cleaning before Ramadan starts. This will not only help reduce dust but also improve air quality, which can significantly impact breathing and overall comfort during these warmer months.

Start by removing all obvious dirt using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to capture fine particles. Don’t forget areas like window sills, corners of rooms, and under furniture where dust tends to accumulate. For stubborn stains or grime, you might need to apply a gentle cleaning solution followed by thorough rinsing.

It’s also wise to check the condition of your air purifiers and filters, as they may have become clogged with additional dust during the storm. Replacing them with new ones could greatly enhance their efficiency in capturing airborne particles.

In cases where the level of contamination seems excessive or if you experience persistent respiratory issues after cleaning, it might be wise to call for a professional inspection. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive inspections and remediation services that can help identify any hidden hazards and provide solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is vital for health and comfort throughout the year but especially during Ramadan when prayers are often performed indoors. By taking proactive measures now, you'll ensure a healthier environment as we progress into this holy month.
