Should I clean or hire help for dust storms?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last month, I’ve noticed a lot of debris and dirt accumulating in the corners of my living room. It’s starting to feel like it’s time for a thorough cleaning, but with the kids’ schedules being so hectic lately, I’m not sure if I can manage it all myself or if I should consider hiring someone. Can anyone share their experience with handling such large-scale cleaning projects alone versus getting professional help?

Absolutely understand your concern! With the recent dust storms in Dubai and across the UAE, it's totally normal to find yourself facing an abundance of debris. Cleaning after such events can indeed be a big task, especially when you have kids' schedules to juggle.
First off, it’s crucial to ensure that your indoor environment is safe and healthy for everyone, particularly post-dust storms. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations on cleaning practices, but it's always wise to maintain cleanliness levels that reduce the risk of mold growth and other health issues. A thorough inspection might be in order here – you could call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional advice tailored to your area. When considering whether to clean yourself or hire help, ask yourself these questions: 1. Do I have the time? With kids' schedules and work commitments, it can be tough to find the hours needed to tackle a big cleaning job. 2. Am I equipped? Are you sure about the right tools and techniques for deep-cleaning your home? 3. What’s my budget? Professional services often come with costs that might factor into your decision. If you're leaning towards hiring help, there are some great local companies specializing in such tasks. They have experience dealing with storm aftermaths and can provide a thorough clean-up process that includes dust removal from corners to high shelves, ensuring no spot is missed. This way, you get peace of mind knowing the job is done right. On the other hand, if you decide to do it yourself, here are some tips: • Start by removing visible debris outside your home and then move inside. • Use a vacuum cleaner with attachments to tackle corners and hard-to-reach areas. • Wipe down surfaces with a damp cloth but make sure not to over-wet them as moisture can lead to mold growth in humid conditions. Remember, safety first! If you notice any signs of water damage or if the area is particularly wet, it’s best to consult professionals. They have the right equipment and expertise to handle such situations without causing further issues. In conclusion, while DIY cleaning can be rewarding, professional help might offer the peace of mind and efficiency needed in your busy lifestyle. Regardless of which path you choose, ensure that post-cleaning procedures are followed properly to maintain a healthy living environment for everyone in the home. Always prioritize safety and health; if unsure about any step or condition, seek professional assistance. |
