Should I clean after sandstorms myself or hire help?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy sandstorms last week, I found a layer of fine dust settling on every surface in our living room and kitchen. The furniture and window sills are particularly bad, making it hard to breathe sometimes. Should I try tackling this myself or do you think hiring someone would be worth it for a deep clean?

After the sandstorms last week, i understand how frustrating it must be to see that fine dust settling everywhere in your home. In dubai and uae, we do have specific regulations for indoor environmental quality which can be quite stringent especially during such weather events.

if you've noticed a layer of dust on your furniture and window sills, it's likely time for a deep clean. the air quality after sandstorms can affect breathing, particulary if there are people with respiratory issues in your home. it might be worth considering hiring professional help to tackle this task.

cleaning yourself is doable but could take some time, especially since you'd need to carefully sweep or vacuum all surfaces including intricate corners and window sills. a thorough clean would require the right tools and techniques that professionals have at their disposal. they can use specialized equipment like microfiber cloths and steam cleaners which can be more effective in removing fine particles.

if you're considering professional help, you could start by reaching out to companies like saniservice who offer indoor air quality services. calling 800-molds or emailing hello@saniservice.com might be a good place to begin for a detailed inspection and cleaning service that's tailored to your specific needs in the uae.

in addition to deep cleaning, it's also important to maintain proper ventilation in your home after sandstorms to prevent further dust accumulation. opening windows when it's not too dusty outside or using air purifiers can help improve air quality.

if you do decide on a DIY approach, make sure to wear appropriate protective gear such as masks and gloves while handling dust. this will protect you from inhaling particles that could irritate your lungs or cause other health issues.

in conclusion, i recommend consulting with professionals for their expertise in dealing with the aftermath of sandstorms, but if you're comfortable doing it yourself, just make sure to take necessary precautions to ensure a thorough and safe clean.
