Should I clean grandmother’s room alone or get help?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a layer of dust collecting on every surface in my grandmother’s room. The windowsills are particularly bad, covered in debris from outside. It’s been over three months since her last visit, so the place is quite neglected. Should I try tackling it myself or should I consider getting some help?

Cleaning your grandmother’s room after such a heavy dust storm can indeed be quite an undertaking. Given the conditions you've described, it would be wise to consider both practical and safety aspects before deciding on whether to tackle this yourself or seek help.

Firstly, it's important to ensure that any cleaning efforts comply with local regulations in Dubai/UAE. The Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) has guidelines for waste management which include proper disposal of household debris. It’s crucial to segregate the dust and other debris according to EAD’s requirements before disposing of them.

If you're considering doing it yourself, start by putting on protective gear such as gloves, a mask, and goggles to minimize health risks from inhaling dust particles. Begin with areas that are easier to clean first—like the floor—and work your way up to surfaces like windowsills where more debris has settled. Use a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth to remove as much of the visible dust as possible.

However, given the scale and nature of this task, you might find it beneficial to seek professional assistance. Professional cleaning services in Dubai can offer a thorough clean using appropriate tools and techniques that may be more effective than what you have at home. Additionally, they can help ensure compliance with local regulations regarding waste disposal.

For those looking for reliable service providers, I would recommend contacting companies like Saniservice (hello@saniservice.com) or calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537). These firms are well-regarded in the industry and can provide a detailed quote based on your specific needs.

If you do decide to go it alone, remember that neglecting cleanliness for too long can lead to more serious issues like mold growth. Once the immediate dust is cleaned up, consider scheduling regular maintenance checks to prevent future build-up.

In conclusion, while self-cleaning might be an option, professional help could save time and ensure a thorough clean. Prioritizing safety and compliance with local regulations should always come first.
