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

After the dust storm last week, I noticed a layer of fine sand settling on everything in my bedroom. The AC filters are clogged, and there's a lingering grittiness even after cleaning. My kids have been coughing more than usual since the storm. Do you think it’s safe to clean myself or should I consider professional help to handle all this dust?

Absolutely, it's important to address the dust and sand that has settled post-dust storm. Given your situation in Dubai where such storms are common, I'd recommend taking a few steps before considering professional help.

First off, it’s essential to ensure the safety of your home environment. Given the grittiness after the storm, it might be wise to check if there's any damage or unusual behavior from your air conditioning system—this could indicate deeper issues that need expert attention.

For now, start with some basic cleaning steps. Wear protective gear such as gloves and a mask while cleaning to avoid inhaling dust particles. Start by removing visible debris using a vacuum cleaner equipped with HEPA filters, which can capture tiny particles like the sand you mentioned. Then, use microfiber cloths for surfaces to prevent dust from spreading.

However, if your symptoms persist or increase—such as persistent coughing in children—it's advisable to seek professional assistance. The UAE often faces severe dust storms that can impact indoor air quality significantly. A professional inspection and remediation service, like Saniservice, could offer a thorough clean-up and ensure the environment is safe for your family.

Remember, regular maintenance of your HVAC system is crucial after such events, especially in areas prone to dust storms. Professional cleaning not only addresses immediate concerns but also helps prevent long-term issues.

Should you decide to proceed with professional help, don't hesitate to reach out to 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation and service quote. They have the expertise and tools necessary to tackle such situations effectively.

By taking these steps, you can ensure your home remains safe and comfortable post-dust storm.
