Should I clean or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a lot of dust and mildew building up in our living room and kitchen. The furniture feels like it needs a good scrubbing, and the carpets could use some attention too. Given that we’ve been here for two years without any deep cleaning, should I consider hiring professional cleaners or is there a more cost-effective way to tackle this?

Absolutely, the decision to clean yourself or hire professionals really depends on several factors. Given your location in the UAE and Dubai, it's important to consider a few key points.
Firstly, heavy rains can indeed lead to increased dust and mildew, especially if there are any issues with moisture management in your home. In such cases, professional inspection is highly recommended. Saniservice (contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) offers a thorough environmental inspection service which could help identify any underlying problems that might need addressing before you deep clean. If the situation seems manageable and you’re keen to save some costs, there are indeed ways to tackle it yourself. A good start would be decluttering your living room and kitchen, removing as much dust as possible with a vacuum cleaner. For the carpets, use a steam cleaner which can penetrate deeply to remove dirt and bacteria. Don't forget to clean under furniture where dust tends to accumulate. However, if you notice any stains that won’t come out or persistent musty smells, it might be wise to call in professionals. They have the right equipment and experience to deal with tough cleaning tasks effectively. Regular cleaning is crucial in maintaining a healthy indoor environment, especially considering the climate and weather conditions of Dubai. Consistent care can prevent bigger issues down the line like mold growth which can pose serious health risks. Remember, while DIY methods are cost-effective, they might not be as thorough or effective as professional services when dealing with stubborn dirt or hidden moisture problems. So, balance your budget with the quality of clean you expect to achieve! Taking proactive steps will keep your home comfortable and healthy for years to come. Happy cleaning! |
