Should I clean dust storm mess myself or call pros?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last week, I found a layer of fine, almost invisible dust on every surface in my bedroom and living room. It’s been two days since it cleared up, but I’m not sure if I should invest in professional cleaning or try to handle it myself with some new products from the market. Should I give it a thorough clean myself, or do you think it would be better to call in an expert?

Cleaning up after the recent dust storm seems like a daunting task. Given that the UAE experiences such weather events from time to time, it’s understandable you're considering your next steps. Here are some points to ponder before deciding whether to tackle this yourself or call in professionals.
Firstly, the UAE doesn't have specific regulations on dust cleaning after storms; however, maintaining high indoor air quality is crucial for health and comfort. Fine dust particles can harbor allergens, bacteria, and even mold spores, especially when left unattended for days as you've mentioned your house has been dusty for two full days. If you decide to clean up yourself, here are some practical tips: 1. Wear a mask and gloves to protect against inhaling fine particles. 2. Use a microfiber cloth or damp mop to avoid spreading dust around the room. 3. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows (if weather permits) to let fresh air in. But considering the extent of dust accumulation, it might be more efficient to call in professionals. Professional cleaning companies like Saniservice are equipped with advanced tools and techniques specifically designed for thorough cleaning. They can use HEPA vacuums which have a higher capacity to trap fine particles compared to regular vacuum cleaners. Moreover, if you notice any signs of mold growth or persistent dampness, it’s advisable to have the space professionally inspected. Mold thrives in moist environments and can pose significant health risks, especially for those with allergies or respiratory issues. Saniservice provides professional inspection services where their experts will assess the situation and recommend appropriate remediation steps. While DIY cleaning might be a cost-effective option initially, it could potentially lead to missed spots or inadequate cleaning which may result in longer-term health hazards. Therefore, it’s often smarter to invest in professional services that ensure your home is thoroughly cleaned and safe from potential issues. If you decide to proceed with Saniservice, don’t hesitate to contact them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com. They can help guide you through the process and ensure your home is left in top condition post-dust storm. Remember, your health and well-being should always be a priority when it comes to indoor environments, so don’t hesitate to seek professional assistance if needed! |
