Should I clean dust from neighbors' construction myself?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent renovation next door, construction dust has started drifting into our flat through the open windows. It's really settling on everything in my bedroom, especially on the books and furniture near the window. The dust is thick enough that I can see it when the sun shines through. Should I be concerned about handling this myself or do I need to call in a professional cleaner?

Absolutely, you should take proactive steps to address the dust situation. Given your description of the thickness and accumulation, it's wise to consider a few practical measures before diving into cleaning yourself.
Firstly, regarding the UAE-specific regulations, as per the Building Control Regulations 2015 in Dubai, construction activities must be carried out in compliance with certain standards to minimize disturbance to surrounding properties. While these rules are mainly aimed at builders and contractors, they imply that reasonable steps should be taken to prevent dust from impacting neighbors. If you decide to clean up yourself, start by sealing off areas not affected by the dust. Use plastic sheeting to cover furniture, books, and other items in your bedroom to protect them during cleaning. A vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter can help effectively remove fine particles. It’s also wise to wear a mask while cleaning to avoid inhaling the dust. However, if you find that the dust is persistent despite your efforts or if it starts affecting your health or daily life significantly, it might be best to call in professionals for assistance.
