Should I clean or hire a professional for it?« Back to Previous Page

When it comes to cleaning a high-occupancy living space, especially one that has seen constant activity from kids, the decision to tackle the mess yourself or hire a professional cleaning service can be challenging. In the UAE, where dust, humidity, and high temperatures can exacerbate indoor air quality issues, it's essential to consider both the effectiveness of cleaning and the health implications.

First, assess the level of cleaning needed. If the carpet has deep stains and odors or if the sticky residue on your coffee table is hard to remove, it might be a sign that a professional deep cleaning service is warranted. Professionals have access to specialized equipment and cleaning solutions that can effectively tackle tough stains and allergens that household products may not adequately address. This is particularly important in Dubai, where dust and mold can be prevalent due to environmental conditions.

Moreover, if your living space has not been professionally cleaned in a while, it’s wise to consider that dust and allergens can accumulate, potentially impacting your family’s indoor air quality. Regular professional cleaning can help mitigate these risks and ensure a healthier living environment. The UAE has specific regulations guiding indoor air quality, and maintaining a clean home can help you stay compliant with these standards.

If you decide to go the DIY route, there are some practical steps you can take. For the carpet, start with a thorough vacuuming to remove surface dirt and debris. For stains, a mixture of white vinegar and water can be an effective natural cleaner. Apply it to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, and then blot it with a clean cloth. For the coffee table, a gentle all-purpose cleaner should suffice, but ensure it’s suitable for the surface material to avoid damage.

If your cleaning efforts don’t yield satisfactory results or if you are dealing with more serious issues like mold or persistent allergens, I highly recommend contacting a professional service. They not only provide deep cleaning but can also conduct an indoor environmental inspection to identify potential health risks.

For immediate assistance, consider reaching out to a reputable cleaning service like SaniService. You can call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to discuss your specific needs and get a quote.
