Should I clean sand from storms myself or hire help?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, cleaning up from the recent sand and debris storm can be quite daunting. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, where we experience such storms occasionally, it’s indeed a challenge to keep our spaces clean, particularly when you have a large area like your living room and bedroom.

Firstly, let's consider some practical aspects. If you’re not familiar with dealing with fine sand and debris on surfaces, it can be tough to manage alone, especially if the storm was severe. The UAE has specific guidelines for indoor air quality that you should keep in mind—such as ensuring proper ventilation when cleaning to prevent dust from circulating further.

Cleaning yourself is certainly an option but might take a significant amount of time and effort. You’ll need to carefully vacuum all surfaces, including carpets, curtains, and even the nooks and crannies where sand can accumulate. It's essential to use a good quality vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter for better air filtration, which is common in professional cleaning services.

However, hiring professionals could be more efficient, particularly if you’re pressed for time or if the storm damage was substantial. In Dubai, there are reputable companies that specialize in post-storm cleanup and restoration. These experts have the right equipment to handle sand and debris effectively without causing further damage to your property.

If you're leaning towards hiring help, I recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a free quote and ensure that your living space is thoroughly cleaned to meet UAE standards for indoor air quality.

In cases where the storm damage is severe or if you notice any signs of mold growth, it’s crucial to have a professional inspection done as soon as possible. Mold can thrive in damp conditions left by such storms, posing health risks especially during Dubai's humid summer months. Professional inspectors are well-versed with UAE regulations and can offer guidance on remediation processes.

In the meantime, while you’re cleaning yourself, wear protective gear like masks and gloves to avoid inhaling dust or sand particles. This precaution is especially important given our environment in the UAE where such storms occur occasionally but can leave a significant mess behind.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is paramount for health and comfort, so do consider the benefits of professional help if you're overwhelmed by the task at hand.
