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

After the Ramadan lights were put up on our balcony, I’ve noticed a lot of dust gathering in that corner. The rental agreement doesn’t mention anything about cleaning during Ramadan, but with everyone being more particular about cleanliness now, I’m not sure if it’s my responsibility or if I should just focus on the areas that are shared. Given the location is right next to the kitchen and we use it frequently, is it expected for me to clean this area as part of my maintenance duties?

Absolutely, cleaning the dust from your balcony during Ramadan is quite important. Considering how much more attention to cleanliness people give during this month, it makes sense to keep up with such practices. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, hygiene and tidiness are highly valued not just at home but also within rental agreements.

While your rental agreement may not specify cleaning duties for specific areas like balconies, especially those close to the kitchen, it's prudent to take responsibility for maintaining a clean living space. Dust can accumulate quickly, especially with Ramadan lights up and everyone spending more time outdoors or on the balcony.

Given that you use this area frequently, keeping it clean is beneficial both for health reasons and for the overall aesthetic of your home. You could consider using a duster or vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust particles. It's also good practice to ensure good ventilation in the area by opening windows if possible, especially during the cooler evenings.

If you're unsure about how thorough the cleaning should be or if you encounter any issues like mold growth due to excess moisture (which can happen with lighting and humidity), it might be wise to call in a professional for an inspection. Saniservice is a reputable company here that offers such services, and their contact info is 800-66537.

Remember, during Ramadan, the importance of cleanliness is heightened, making it a good habit to maintain your living space as well. This not only keeps you healthy but also respects the spirit of the month. So, go ahead and give that balcony a thorough cleaning!

If in doubt or if you notice any unusual issues, don't hesitate to reach out for professional help.
