Should I clean or suggest deep cleaning to landlord?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a layer of dust on every surface in my office space. It’s in the corner of the living room where it gets very little light, but still managed to gather so much dust. Given that this is a rental and I’m not sure about the cleaning responsibilities, should I be tackling this myself or can I suggest some deep cleaning to the landlord?

Absolutely, it's wise to address the dust accumulation in your office space. In Dubai/UAE, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for both health and comfort, especially after such severe weather conditions as the recent dust storms.
Firstly, consider contacting your landlord to discuss the situation. UAE laws generally favor tenants' rights regarding cleanliness and maintenance of rented spaces. However, if you've already tried a gentle conversation with your landlord and haven't received an adequate response, it might be time to take matters into your own hands for now. For minor dustings or light cleaning tasks, you can certainly handle the situation yourself. Utilizing microfiber cloths works exceptionally well for capturing small particles without leaving streaks. Additionally, a good vacuum cleaner with HEPA filter capabilities can help remove dust from carpets and upholstery. Make sure to clean under furniture where dust tends to accumulate. However, if you've noticed persistent issues or suspect that the underlying cause of the dust may be structural (like leaks or mold growth), it's advisable to seek professional inspection services. Here in Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide thorough evaluations and necessary remediations if any health concerns are identified. Remember, cleanliness is key not only for aesthetic purposes but also for preventing respiratory issues which could arise from accumulated dust particles. If you decide to proceed with a deep clean yourself, ensure that the space is well-ventilated during cleaning activities to avoid inhaling dust or other allergens. Lastly, if after all these steps you're still faced with ongoing issues, don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance. Saniservice can offer comprehensive solutions and advice tailored specifically to Dubai’s climate conditions. Remember, it's better to be proactive about the indoor environment than reactive when dealing with potential health hazards.
