Should I clean or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last week, I’ve noticed a layer of fine sand and dirt settling on all my curtains and blinds in the living room. It’s been almost two months since our last deep cleaning session, and it seems like the carpets are also starting to look grimy. Can someone suggest if this is something I can tackle myself or should I consider hiring professional help?

Absolutely, it's understandable that you're concerned about the state of your living space after such an intense dust storm. In dubai and uae, maintaining indoor air quality is crucial given our climate and frequent sandstorms. For a task like cleaning fine sand and dirt from curtains, blinds, carpets, and other soft furnishings, there are a few steps to consider:
Firstly, inspecting the extent of the damage or dirt accumulation would be wise. If you notice any signs of mold growth which can occur in humid conditions after dust storms, it's best to call for professional inspection right away. In dubai, companies like "Saniservice" offer such services and their contact info is 800-66537 or email them at hello@saniservice.com. For less severe cases, you can definitely manage the cleaning yourself. Start with removing any large debris from your carpets by using a vacuum cleaner with a powerful suction. A high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter will ensure that even microscopic particles are caught. For curtains and blinds, dusting them gently may be enough to remove surface dirt. However, if you notice stains or heavy soiling, consider machine washing them in cold water on a gentle cycle. In dubai, the summer heat can accelerate fabric degradation, so it’s crucial to keep your cleaning routine up-to-date. If you find that the task is overwhelming or time-consuming, professional help might be more efficient. Professional cleaners have access to specialized equipment and chemicals that can effectively clean even tough stains without damaging your fabrics. Lastly, consider investing in an air purifier with a HEPA filter for your living room. This will help keep indoor air cleaner between cleaning sessions, especially after such storms. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is also recommended as it helps reduce dust circulation within the home. In summary, while you can handle much of this yourself, don't hesitate to call professionals if you're unsure or if you notice any signs of mold growth. Taking these steps now will help maintain a healthier indoor environment in dubai. |
