Is hiring a pro worth it for coastal cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

We've lived in our beachside apartment in Jumeirah for over a year now, and I've started to notice a significant buildup of sand and salt residue on our balcony and the outdoor furniture. It's especially bad after windy days, and I’m worried it could damage our metal railings if I don't get it cleaned up soon. I'm weighing my options between renting a pressure washer and going the DIY route versus hiring a professional cleaning service. How much should I expect to spend if I go with the pros, and is it worth it for this kind of coastal cleaning?

When considering whether to hire a professional for coastal cleaning, particularly in a beachside apartment in Jumeirah, there are several factors to weigh. The accumulation of sand and salt residue is not just an aesthetic issue; it can lead to deterioration of your outdoor furniture and metal fixtures if left unattended.

In the UAE, especially in coastal regions like Dubai, the environment can be harsh due to salt air and sandstorms. These elements can cause corrosion and damage over time. If your balcony and outdoor furniture are showing significant buildup, it's wise to address it promptly to prevent any long-term damage.

Professional cleaning services typically charge between AED 300 to AED 800, depending on the size of the area and the extent of the cleaning required. This cost often includes specialized equipment and cleaning solutions that are more effective than standard home products. Professionals also know how to handle different materials safely, ensuring that your metal railings and furniture are not harmed during the cleaning process.

While renting a pressure washer might seem like a cost-effective solution, it requires careful handling to avoid damage from high pressure, particularly on delicate surfaces. Additionally, there’s a risk of creating more mess or not cleaning effectively if you're not experienced.

If you’ve noticed significant corrosion or if the buildup is persistent, I recommend a professional inspection before proceeding with cleaning. They can assess the condition of your balcony and furniture and provide tailored advice.

For serious cases or if you are unsure how to proceed, don’t hesitate to reach out to professionals. You can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They can help ensure that your living space remains beautiful and safe, allowing you to enjoy your seaside views without worry.

In summary, while DIY cleaning can be tempting, the expertise and efficiency of professional services are often worth the investment, particularly in a coastal setting where conditions can lead to more significant issues if neglected.
