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

After the heavy dust storm last month, I noticed a thick layer of dust gathering on the ceiling fans and windowsills in my living room. It’s really starting to build up, but with work commitments piling up, I’m wondering if it would be better to tackle this myself or hire someone for regular cleaning. Should I just get some dusters and climb up there, or am I setting myself up for a major headache?

Cleaning dust yourself can be a bit of a chore but is definitely doable. However, considering the recent dust storms we've experienced here in Dubai, it's important to assess if you're ready for this task or if professional help would be more beneficial.

Firstly, let’s consider the safety aspect. Climbing up on ladders to reach high areas like ceiling fans and windowsills can be risky. In the UAE, there are no specific regulations mandating how often you should clean these areas but safety always comes first. If you're not comfortable or experienced in handling such heights, it might be safer to hire a professional.

Secondly, let’s talk about efficiency. While cleaning dust yourself is cost-effective, it can also take up significant time that could otherwise be spent on more productive tasks like work or leisure activities. Given the busy schedules many of us have here in Dubai, outsourcing this task can save you valuable time and reduce stress.

Professional cleaners are familiar with the latest cleaning techniques and products which might not only clean your living room better but also ensure it’s done safely. They would use high-quality microfiber cloths and possibly even specialized equipment that can reach those hard-to-reach areas more effectively than a simple duster.

If you decide to go for professional help, Saniservice is a reputable company in the UAE. You can contact them via 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com. They offer a range of services including indoor air quality inspections and remediation which could be beneficial given our frequent dust storms.

Remember though, keeping your home clean regularly does involve some effort. If you plan to do it yourself, ensure you use the right tools like microfiber cloths that trap dust rather than spreading it around. Also, consider wearing a mask to protect against any lingering dust particles in the air.

In conclusion, while cleaning yourself is an option, weighing your time and safety against professional help might be the smarter move. Let's keep our living spaces clean and healthy!
