Absolutely, the recent stormy weather has certainly left its mark. Cleaning debris and algae from your beachside balcony is definitely important but considering UAE-specific regulations and the potential for saltwater damage, it's wise to weigh both DIY options and professional assistance.
Firstly, given the location in Dubai, there are certain environmental standards you should adhere to when cleaning coastal areas. The Dubai Municipality has specific guidelines for maintaining public spaces and ensuring that debris does not end up polluting local waterways or harming marine life. While your balcony is private property, being mindful of these regulations can prevent any potential fines or legal issues. For DIY cleanup, you'll need a few basic tools: gloves, safety glasses, a broom, and possibly some soft brushes for tough spots. Start by removing larger debris like branches or plastics that could be hazardous to wildlife if they end up in the ocean. Then move on to cleaning any algae with mild soaps or natural solutions like vinegar or baking soda mixed with water. Just make sure not to use harsh chemicals as these can harm local ecosystems. However, for more extensive clean-ups or if you're dealing with significant amounts of debris, hiring professionals might be the better route. Professional environmental inspection and remediation companies in Dubai are equipped with the right tools and expertise to handle such tasks efficiently. They can also help ensure that your cleanup is done in a manner compliant with local regulations. Typical costs for professional coastal area cleaning services in Dubai can vary widely depending on the extent of work required, equipment used, and duration. For instance, small-scale clean-ups might cost around AED 500 to AED 1000 per session, while larger areas or more complex tasks could easily reach AED 2000 to AED 5000.
