Should I clean office space or inform landlord?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, ensuring the cleanliness of your office space is crucial for maintaining both health and productivity. In the UAE, specifically Dubai, it's essential to keep a close eye on indoor air quality which can be heavily influenced by poor cleaning practices. Dust accumulation can harbor allergens and bacteria, which might not only affect you but also your colleagues.

Firstly, if you notice a layer of dust on your ceiling fan and furniture has a grimy appearance after two months since the last deep clean, it's a clear sign that something needs to be addressed. While cleaning office spaces yourself can save time and money, it is important to consider the quality of the cleaning and safety measures required.

Cleaning offices in Dubai involves more than just a superficial wipe-down. According to the UAE Occupational Health & Safety Law (Law No. 13 of 2007), employers are responsible for maintaining a clean and safe environment at work. This means that if you're a tenant, it would be wise to inform your landlord about this issue.

However, here’s what you can do before reaching out:

1. DIY Cleaning: Start with a thorough cleaning of the office space using appropriate equipment like microfiber cloths and HEPA filters. Focus on areas where dust tends to accumulate such as ceiling fans, corners behind furniture, and windowsills.

2. Ventilation Check: Ensure that your office has proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup which can lead to mold growth. In Dubai, it's particularly important due to the high humidity levels during certain times of the year.

3. Review Lease Agreement: Check if there are any clauses regarding cleanliness in your lease agreement. If not, you might want to include such a clause or discuss this with your landlord.

4. Professional Help: For a more thorough clean, consider hiring professional cleaning services. Saniservice (hello@saniservice.com) is a reputable company that can provide the necessary expertise and equipment for deep cleaning.

If after these steps the issue persists or if you're concerned about the health implications of poor indoor air quality, it’s advisable to have an inspection by professionals. They can assess the situation comprehensively and recommend any necessary remedial actions such as mold removal (if present).

Remember, addressing this promptly not only improves your working environment but also complies with local regulations ensuring a healthy workplace.
