Should I clean coworking space myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last week, my coworking space has accumulated so much dust that it’s making it hard to breathe. The carpets are dirty, and there's a noticeable layer of grime on all the surfaces. Given that we've only been using this space for about 6 months, I’m wondering if it would be more cost-effective to hire professionals or if regular cleaning is something I can handle myself. What do you think?

Cleaning your coworking space after such a dusty storm can indeed be quite a task. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, indoor air quality is of utmost importance due to the region's unique climatic conditions and the potential for allergens like dust mites and mold.
Firstly, it’s important to assess the situation. Given that your coworking space has only been operational for 6 months and now faces a significant dust accumulation issue, it might be prudent to consider professional cleaning services. Professionals are equipped with the right tools and techniques to ensure a thorough clean without causing further damage or introducing new allergens. In Dubai, regulations related to indoor air quality aren't as stringent as in some other regions, but maintaining a healthy workspace is still crucial for employee wellbeing. Professional cleaners can also perform a preliminary inspection to check if there are any underlying issues that need addressing, such as dampness leading to mold growth or structural problems causing dust. However, if you decide to handle it yourself, here are some practical steps: 1. Start with a thorough vacuuming of all carpets and rugs using a HEPA-filtered vacuum cleaner. 2. Dust all surfaces from top to bottom, including electronics and lighting fixtures. 3. Clean windows and glass surfaces with a solution that can also kill germs. 4. Use microfiber cloths for wiping down hard surfaces to trap dust rather than spreading it around. Remember to wear protective gear such as gloves and masks while cleaning to avoid inhaling dust particles. If you notice any signs of mold or persistent allergen issues, it’s advisable to call in professional inspectors. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice offer services for indoor air quality testing and remediation if necessary. In conclusion, while DIY cleaning might seem cost-effective initially, the potential health benefits and peace of mind from a thorough clean might outweigh the costs. If you decide to go with professionals, give 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 a call for a quote or email hello@saniservice.com. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to creating a healthy and productive workspace in Dubai’s climate. |
