Should I clean now or wait for next week?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm we had last week, I noticed a layer of fine sand settling on every surface in the living room. It’s especially bad on my son’s bookshelves where there are piles of books that haven’t been touched since they moved here two years ago. Given how sensitive my daughter is to allergens, should I clean it all now or can this wait until next week when we have more time?

Given the recent dust storm and considering your daughter's sensitivity to allergens, it would be wise to clean now rather than waiting. The accumulation of fine sand could potentially harbor dust mites, pollen, or other allergenic particles that might exacerbate her condition.
In Dubai, we're particularly mindful of environmental quality post-storms due to the high levels of particulate matter and potential for increased mold growth in humid environments. It’s important to address this promptly to maintain a healthy indoor environment. Start by gently dusting all surfaces using a microfiber cloth or a soft-bristled brush to capture fine particles effectively without spreading them around. For areas like your son's bookshelves, use an extendable duster for hard-to-reach spots. Make sure to clean under and behind books as well. For carpets and rugs, vacuum thoroughly with a HEPA filter equipped cleaner; this will help in reducing allergens significantly. Don’t forget to clean windowsills and the tops of cabinets where dust might have gathered unnoticed. Given the UAE’s regulations on indoor air quality, it's recommended that you keep an eye out for any signs of mold growth or musty odors during and after cleaning. Should you notice any concerning developments, it would be prudent to contact a professional environmental inspection company like ours at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email us at hello@saniservice.com for further assessment. Cleaning now will help create a healthier environment for your family and prevent potential issues from arising. After all, your health and comfort are paramount in this climate! Remember, proactive measures like these can make a significant difference in maintaining a clean and safe living space, especially considering the unique challenges we face here in Dubai. |
