Should I clean indoor dust myself or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a layer of fine sand and debris all over my balcony and some parts of the living room. My family and I have been coughing more frequently lately, and I suspect it might be from this dust settling indoors. Should I consider hiring professional cleaners for regular maintenance or can I handle most of it myself?

Absolutely, it's crucial to address the dust issue promptly. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, environmental regulations emphasize maintaining clean and healthy indoor environments. Dust can indeed cause respiratory issues, which is why your family has been experiencing more coughing lately.

Firstly, let’s talk about DIY cleaning. Regular vacuuming with a HEPA filter cleaner and wiping surfaces are great steps to take. However, if the dust layer you noticed is heavy or persistent, it might be best to consider hiring professionals for regular maintenance. Professional cleaners have access to specialized equipment that can effectively remove deep-seated dirt and allergens.

In Dubai, it’s also important to check whether your home meets local building standards which may require a professional inspection every few years. If you suspect the dust is causing significant health issues or if the cleaning task seems overwhelming, a professional inspection could be beneficial. This helps ensure that not only are you addressing the visible dust but also identifying any underlying moisture or mold issues.
