Should I clean after dust storm myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning after a dust storm can be quite the task, especially in areas like Dubai where we experience such storms occasionally. Given the fine sand and debris that settled on your living room furniture and other surfaces, it's understandable you might feel overwhelmed. However, before deciding whether to tackle this yourself or hire professionals, consider these key points:

Firstly, UAE regulations do require regular cleaning of public spaces, though they don't specifically mandate post-dust-storm services for private residences. Still, it’s wise to ensure your indoor environment is clean and safe.

For a thorough job, vacuuming all carpets, curtains, and soft furnishings is crucial. Don’t skip the crevices where dust can accumulate. For hard surfaces like floors, use a damp cloth or mop. If you have hardwood or tiles, consider using a microfiber towel to avoid scratching.

Hiring professionals might be more efficient if your home has a significant amount of dust and debris. They typically have access to specialized equipment that can clean harder-to-reach areas effectively. Plus, they can provide a professional touch for those who may not want the mess in their home.

At Saniservice, we've seen many homes after such storms and we recommend our services as they are tailored specifically to the local environment. Our team uses eco-friendly cleaning solutions that won't harm your belongings or the environment. We also check for any potential damage from the dust storm and offer remediation if needed, ensuring a truly clean slate.

However, if you feel confident in handling it yourself, start by removing larger debris with a broom or vacuum attachment. Follow this up with a gentle cleaning of surfaces to avoid water marks or streaks. Just make sure to use appropriate cleaning products that don’t damage your surfaces.

Remember, after the initial cleanup, it’s also wise to monitor indoor air quality for any lingering dust particles that might affect your health. If you experience persistent allergy symptoms post-cleaning, consider consulting an expert.

In summary, while DIY efforts can work, professional assistance could save time and ensure a deeper clean. For peace of mind and expertise, give us a call at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. We’re here to help you breathe easier and live healthier in your home!
