Should I clean or hire professionals? Cost comparison?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I noticed a layer of fine sand and dirt settling on everything in my living room and hallway. It’s not much, but it's enough to make me consider cleaning the place thoroughly. Should I try doing it myself or should I hire professionals for this task? What would be the approximate cost difference between the two options?

Absolutely, cleaning your living room and hallway post-dust storm can significantly improve the air quality and overall comfort of your home. Considering the specifics of Dubai's climate and the recent dust conditions, it’s a good idea to either tackle this yourself or hire professionals depending on the scope.

If you decide to go the DIY route, make sure to use appropriate cleaning supplies that are suitable for sandy and dusty environments. Microfiber cloths and damp mops can be particularly effective in trapping fine particles without spreading them around too much. However, if you find yourself overwhelmed by the task or notice any persistent odors or discoloration of surfaces, it might be wise to seek professional help.

In Dubai, there are several environmental inspection and remediation companies that offer thorough cleaning services tailored for such conditions. The cost comparison between DIY and hiring professionals can vary greatly. Generally speaking, a basic cleaning service from a local company could start around AED 500-700, depending on the size of your space and any additional services you request (like deep carpet cleaning or air purifying). This fee usually covers labor, quality cleaning products, and sometimes even a post-cleaning inspection.

If you choose to handle this yourself, it’s worth noting that the UAE doesn’t have specific regulations for dust storm clean-up; however, maintaining good indoor air quality is always encouraged. Professional services can offer peace of mind and ensure that your home returns to its best possible condition.

Given the inconvenience and potential health impacts from lingering dust, I’d recommend considering a professional service if you’re short on time or unsure about how thorough your cleaning will be. They are equipped with the right tools and techniques to tackle all kinds of particles effectively.
