Should I clean dust bunnies during Ramadan?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a lot of dust bunnies piling up under my bed in the guest room. Since it's Ramadan and I’m not sure about the cleaning responsibilities as a tenant, should I be doing more than just airing out the room?

Absolutely, it's wise to address those pesky dust bunnies during Ramadan. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, cleanliness is highly valued and maintaining a clean living space is an important part of our culture and traditions.
During Ramadan, many people are busy with prayers, Iftar, and Suhoor, which can make cleaning routines challenging. However, it's still crucial to keep your guest room fresh and dust-free for the benefit of both visitors and yourself. The recent dust storms have certainly left their mark, so a thorough clean-up is necessary. Firstly, you should consider the terms of your tenancy agreement. In Dubai, most property management companies or landlords will not specify exact cleaning responsibilities during Ramadan but it's always good to check if there are any stipulations regarding cleanliness that apply year-round. If in doubt, reaching out to your landlord for clarification is a smart move. For effective dust bunny removal, start by moving furniture and getting down on hands and knees to vacuum or use a damp cloth under beds and other hard-to-reach areas where dust tends to accumulate. Don't forget to clean the floor carefully as well; a quick sweep with a broom followed by a thorough mop can help. Airing out the room is a great practice but you might also want to think about using a dehumidifier or an air purifier if humidity levels are high, which could be causing dust mites and mold growth. This is especially important in Dubai's climate where we experience changes between dry and humid seasons. If after your cleaning efforts the dust or allergens persist, it might be time to call for professional inspection and remediation services. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can help with such issues. They offer a range of services including mold testing and removal which could be beneficial if you suspect any hidden problems. Contact 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information. Lastly, remember that Ramadan is also a time to focus on spiritual purification as well as physical cleanliness. Ensuring your living spaces are clean and fresh can enhance the overall atmosphere of peace and comfort during these blessed days. So get those cleaning supplies ready and tackle those dust bunnies! |
