Should I clean my apartment myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the intense heat wave we had last week, I noticed some dust and cobwebs gathering in the corners of my living room. The AC filter is also quite dirty, which worries me since it hasn't been cleaned in over a year. Given how often we use our air conditioning during summer here in Dubai, should I consider hiring professionals to clean the entire apartment or can I manage this myself?

Cleaning your apartment after the intense heat can indeed be an overwhelming task. Given the UAE's stringent environmental standards and health regulations, it’s crucial to ensure that you maintain a healthy indoor environment—especially during summer months when AC usage is at its peak.

Firstly, you should consider cleaning or replacing the AC filters immediately. Dirty filters not only reduce your air conditioner's efficiency but can also introduce allergens back into the air, affecting your health and comfort. In Dubai, it’s recommended to clean or replace these every 1-3 months depending on usage and local pollution levels.

For a thorough apartment clean, you could start with DIY methods. Dusting corners and cleaning surfaces are relatively simple tasks that can significantly improve air quality. However, if the dust build-up is substantial, or you find mold or mildew (which can be more prevalent in humid periods), it might be wise to call in professionals.

Saniservice, our company, provides comprehensive indoor environmental inspections and remediation services. If you notice any signs of mold or suspect that there are hidden issues, a professional inspection could save you from future health complications. Our team uses specialized equipment and techniques to assess the overall air quality and identify potential hazards that might not be visible to the naked eye.

Remember, in Dubai, it's essential to keep an eye out for heat-related effects on your home’s structure too. High temperatures can cause materials like wood or metal to expand and contract, which might lead to minor structural issues if not addressed promptly.
