Should I clean playroom due to dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storms we had last week, I noticed a fine layer of sand and grit settling on every surface in the playroom. Even the toys that were stored away are now covered with tiny particles. The kids have been playing there all day, and it’s concerning to think about how much they might be inhaling. Should I clean the whole room again or is there a specific method for dealing with this kind of mess?

Absolutely, it's crucial to address the dust and grit in your playroom after such severe weather. In Dubai and the UAE, we frequently experience sandstorms that can lead to a significant amount of particulate matter settling on surfaces. This situation definitely calls for thorough cleaning.

Firstly, you should consider the health and safety of the children as top priority. Dust storms often bring in particles that are not only unpleasant but could pose respiratory risks. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations regarding dust storm clean-up, but following best practices will help ensure a healthier environment for your kids.

Start by removing all toys and other objects from the playroom to access every surface easily. Use a damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter to remove as much grit as possible. The HEPA filter is particularly useful in capturing fine particles that can be harmful when inhaled. It's also important to open windows (if it’s safe and allowed) for some natural ventilation, but make sure the area is not too dusty.

For more stubborn or widespread messes, you might want to consider hiring a professional cleaning service. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are equipped with the right tools and expertise to handle such situations effectively. They can also provide recommendations on how to maintain cleanliness during such weather conditions.

Remember, regular maintenance is key! After this dust storm incident, it might be beneficial to establish a routine for cleaning after severe weather events. This will help prevent similar scenarios from becoming an ongoing issue.

If you decide against professional help and want further advice or simply need someone to check if everything has been done correctly, don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can offer guidance or even come over for a quick inspection.

Taking these steps will help create a safer and more pleasant play environment for the children.
