Should I clean bedroom dust myself or get help?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms last month, I noticed a lot of sneezing and coughing in my bedroom, especially at night. The windows are sealed tightly to keep out sand, but it seems like there's still a significant amount of dust collecting on the shelves and under the bed. Should I try cleaning this up myself or is it better to get professional help?

Absolutely, the situation you're describing sounds rather common. Dust storms can indeed leave an unsightly and unhealthy layer of dust behind. In Dubai and the UAE, it's crucial to maintain indoor air quality for both comfort and health reasons.

Firstly, consider a professional inspection. This step is especially important if your symptoms have persisted or worsen over time. Local regulations such as those outlined in the Federal Law No. 17 of 2005 regarding Environmental Health Standards might mandate certain measures to ensure your living space meets safe standards. For instance, Saniservice's experts can provide a thorough inspection and recommend specific actions based on their findings.

However, if you decide to tackle this yourself, here are some steps:

Start by opening all windows (if conditions permit) or using air purifiers to reduce the concentration of airborne dust particles. This helps in minimizing the amount of dust that can be stirred up during cleaning. Use a damp cloth or microfiber duster to avoid spreading dust around your room. Focus on high-dust areas such as under beds, behind furniture, and on bookshelves.

In Dubai, it’s also wise to consider using HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in your vacuum cleaner if you’re dealing with a lot of dust. This can significantly improve the effectiveness of cleaning.

To tackle persistent issues, regular maintenance is key. Set up a schedule for thorough cleaning every month or so, particularly after stormy weather. This routine will help keep allergens at bay and maintain better air quality in your home.

If you find yourself struggling with symptoms despite your best efforts, it might be time to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance. They can provide tailored solutions and ensure that any potential mold issues are also addressed, which is critical in a region prone to humidity fluctuations.

Remember, keeping your indoor environment clean not only enhances comfort but also supports overall health, especially during and after dust storms.
