Should I clean balcony debris myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy storms we had a few weeks ago, I noticed a lot of debris and sand collecting along our balcony railings in my apartment near JBR. The view from there is beautiful, but I'm worried about the impact on air quality and potential damage to the furniture if left unchecked. Should I consider hiring professionals for cleaning or can I handle it myself?

Absolutely, handling the cleaning of balcony debris can be a bit tricky, especially given the recent storms you mentioned. The situation around JBR is indeed concerning as sand and other debris are common aftermaths during such weather events.
In Dubai/UAE, it's important to consider not just the immediate appearance but also the potential impact on air quality and the health of your living space. While minor cleanups can often be managed by yourself, heavy debris or ongoing issues might warrant professional attention due to local regulations and health concerns. Firstly, you should assess the extent of the damage and if it's beyond what a quick sweep can handle, it may be wise to call in professionals. This is especially true considering the UAE's environmental standards which emphasize cleanliness and hygiene, particularly after natural disasters or weather events like heavy storms. If you decide to tackle this yourself, ensure that your cleaning methods don't harm any surrounding plants or structures. For instance, using water might disturb nearby vegetation, so opt for dry brushing or vacuuming if possible. Also, be cautious of the materials used; harsh chemicals can damage surfaces and are not necessary when dealing with sand and debris. However, should you notice persistent odors, mold growth, or signs of pest infestation—especially considering the recent wet conditions—a professional inspection is highly recommended. In such cases, it’s better to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a thorough assessment and remediation if needed. Remember, maintaining cleanliness in your living space is key not just for aesthetics but also for overall health and safety, especially in an environment like Dubai where the air quality can be variable. So do give some thought to whether you can manage it on your own or need expert help. In any case, staying proactive about these issues will ensure a healthier and more pleasant living experience. |
