Should I clean dust now or wait?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms this spring, I’ve noticed a layer of fine dust settling on every surface in my balcony, which faces directly towards the desert. It’s really piling up on my outdoor furniture and even inside through small gaps in the windows. Given how close we are to the upcoming summer months, when everyone will be using their balconies more, is this something I should address immediately or can it wait a bit?

Yes, you should consider cleaning the dust now. The recent dust storms have undoubtedly left their mark and with summer approaching, it's wise to address this issue promptly. In Dubai, we are no strangers to sand and dust events that can easily find their way into our living spaces.
Firstly, given your location facing the desert, it's quite common for fine particles to settle on surfaces during such storms. This is especially true for outdoor furniture which can quickly become a mess, potentially affecting its appearance and functionality over time. Additionally, any gaps in your windows may allow these particles inside, making your living space less enjoyable. The UAE does not have specific regulations that mandate regular dust removal, but maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for health. Dust can contain allergens, pollutants, and other harmful substances which might affect the respiratory system during the hot summer months when people spend more time outdoors. To tackle this, a professional inspection could help determine if there are any underlying issues like gaps that need sealing or if your existing cleaning methods need improvement.

For immediate action, here’s what you can do: • Use a soft brush to gently remove dust from outdoor furniture. • Consider using a microfiber cloth with a gentle cleaner to avoid damaging surfaces. • Open windows briefly during non-stormy weather to let fresh air in but keep them closed if storms are forecasted. Regular cleaning will also help maintain the appearance and longevity of your outdoor space. Don't wait until summer; proactive maintenance can save you from bigger clean-up tasks later on. Remember, keeping your living spaces free from excessive dust not only improves aesthetics but also contributes to a healthier environment for yourself and those around you. |
