Should I clean dust myself or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had a few weeks ago, I noticed an awful dust buildup in every corner of my living room. It's so extensive that it’s making me wonder if hiring professionals to deep clean is worth the cost versus doing it myself. Given our location in Dubai and the specific timeframe between now and summer when we have guests coming over, what would you recommend for someone like me? Should I consider professional cleaning services or can this be managed on my own with proper equipment and supplies?

Cleaning dust yourself can be a viable option, especially given the current situation and timeframe. However, depending on the extent of the dust and your personal comfort level, professional help might also make sense.
Firstly, it's essential to understand that the UAE has specific regulations when it comes to indoor air quality, particularly in public spaces and commercial buildings. While these are primarily focused on larger establishments, they set a standard for cleanliness and hygiene. For residential purposes, though, while there aren't strict laws, maintaining a clean environment is still crucial. When you notice such an extensive dust buildup, especially after a storm like the one we experienced, it's wise to consider the health implications. Dust can contain allergens, mold spores, and other particulates that could affect your respiratory system or trigger allergies. Professional cleaning services are equipped with specialized tools and techniques that can ensure a thorough clean without risking any potential damage. On the flip side, if you're comfortable with the task and have access to suitable equipment like HEPA vacuum cleaners, microfiber cloths, and proper ventilation methods, DIY cleaning could be more cost-effective. Just make sure you tackle every nook and cranny thoroughly. For instance, use extendable dusters for high areas or corners that might be hard to reach with regular ones. If you decide to go the professional route, consider contacting local companies like Saniservice who can offer a detailed clean-up plan tailored to your specific needs. They can also help identify any mold growth that may have been exacerbated by the dust storm and provide solutions for remediation if necessary. Another factor to consider is time management. If you're already pressed with other commitments or just plain busy, outsourcing this task could save you valuable time that you might need as guests are coming over soon. Professional services often offer quick turnaround times which can be beneficial in such scenarios. In summary, while DIY cleaning is a practical option if done correctly and efficiently, professional help ensures thoroughness and peace of mind, especially considering the health implications of excessive dust accumulation post-a storm.
