Should I clean after dust storm damage?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent heavy dust storm, I noticed a layer of dust building up in every corner of my rented warehouse space, even under the pallets stacked against the walls. My landlord hasn’t mentioned anything about cleaning or maintenance, but it feels like I should do something about it for both health and safety reasons. Should I be concerned about this and what steps can I take?

Absolutely, cleaning after a dust storm is definitely something to consider. In the UAE and particularly in Dubai, these events can really kick up a lot of dirt and debris that can settle almost everywhere within your warehouse space. It's not only a matter of aesthetics but also for health reasons.
Firstly, you should be concerned about the build-up of dust as it can contain sand particles, pollen, and even microscopic organisms which could pose a risk to respiratory health. Given the recent dust storm, it’s highly likely that there are contaminants in your warehouse that require attention. For starters, make sure to wear appropriate protective gear such as a mask, gloves, and goggles when you start cleaning. This will help protect yourself from inhaling any harmful particles. Begin by removing obvious debris like sand or large pieces of dirt. You can use brooms and dustpans for this task in areas that are easily accessible. For hard-to-reach corners under pallets, consider using a vacuum cleaner with a strong suction power to minimize disturbance while cleaning. If you have access to compressed air, that could be an effective tool to remove fine particles from surfaces without causing too much dust to settle elsewhere. However, given the scale and intensity of recent storms in the region, it might be wise to call in professional help for a thorough inspection and remediation. Companies like Saniservice can assess your warehouse's condition and provide solutions that cater specifically to the UAE environment and regulations.
