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

Absolutely, the aftermath of such a heavy dust storm can indeed be quite overwhelming. After the recent one we experienced here in Dubai, it's no surprise you're noticing an abundance of dust settling on your windowsills and carpets. Given that you've lived in your apartment for two years without professional cleaning, you might find the task daunting.

Firstly, it’s important to understand the impact of dust and debris on indoor environmental quality (IEQ). In Dubai, high levels of dust can lead to respiratory issues due to potential allergens and pollutants. If the dust storm was particularly severe, a thorough clean may be necessary to maintain optimal IEQ standards as per local regulations.

While you could certainly attempt cleaning yourself, given the scale of the task it might be more efficient—and perhaps healthier—to consider hiring a professional service. A good cleaning company can handle everything from high dust levels to deep carpet cleaning, ensuring that your home is not only spotless but also safe for your health and well-being.

Professional cleaning services are well-versed in handling such situations and will use appropriate tools and techniques to tackle the problem effectively. They might include using HEPA filters during vacuuming to capture fine particles or employing specialized cleaning agents designed to break down stubborn dirt.

If you decide to go with a professional, do look for companies that have experience working in Dubai and adhere to local standards and regulations. You can reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com for more information.

Alternatively, if you choose to clean on your own, start by dusting surfaces gently with a microfiber cloth and then move onto vacuuming carpets. Don’t forget the corners where dust often settles! A quick tip is to use a damp cloth when wiping down hard surfaces to avoid spreading dust around.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially in our desert climate where dust storms are not uncommon. If you notice any persistent issues post-cleaning or if your home has been significantly affected by the storm, consider scheduling an inspection with a professional service to ensure all health risks are mitigated.

Taking proactive steps like these can help keep your living space clean and healthy—something especially important in our environment.
