Should I clean dust storms damage myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy dust storms, my living room has accumulated a lot of dust and debris, making it hard to breathe. The corners near the windows are particularly bad, with an alarming amount of dirt collecting there. I’m not sure if it’s worth hiring professional cleaners or if doing it myself could save money in the long run. Should I consider bringing in professionals for a deep clean, or is it something I can handle on my own?

Cleaning up after dust storms can indeed be quite a task, especially in the UAE where these events might occur more frequently. Given your situation in dubai and considering you have a lot of dirt collecting around windows, it's important to weigh the pros and cons of tackling this on your own versus hiring professionals.

Firstly, it’s crucial to understand that dust storms can bring in not just visible dirt but also microscopic particles which might be harmful if inhaled. In the uae, there are no specific regulations mandating professional cleaning after a dust storm, however, ensuring air quality is paramount for health and comfort.

Handling this yourself could indeed save money in the short term, but consider the potential benefits of hiring professionals. They possess specialized equipment such as vacuums with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters which can effectively remove fine particles that might be detrimental to your health. Moreover, professionals are adept at dealing with hard-to-reach areas like corners near windows where dust tends to accumulate.

However, if you decide to go the DIY route, start by opening all windows for a thorough airing, then move on to cleaning surfaces from top to bottom. Use microfiber cloths and damp mops to capture as much dust as possible. For those hard-to-reach spots, a steamer can be very effective in removing stubborn dirt without damaging furniture.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is essential for your health, particularly if you or any family members have respiratory issues. If the situation seems overwhelming or if you notice persistent symptoms after cleaning, it might be wise to seek professional assistance.
