Should I clean up sandstorm dust or landlord's duty?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent sandstorms, I’ve noticed a layer of fine grit settling on everything from the windowsill in our living room to the furniture by the balcony. It’s been two weeks since the last storm, but the dust is still accumulating, especially in corners and hard-to-reach areas. Should I be concerned about cleaning this up myself or does my landlord handle such tasks?

Absolutely, it's perfectly okay for you to take charge of cleaning up the aftermath of sandstorms. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, sandstorms are a regular occurrence and can leave behind layers of dust that require thorough clean-up.
First off, it’s important to know that while your landlord might have specific obligations, they aren't responsible for every single task after a sandstorm. Especially considering the extent of the dust you've noticed, a good cleaning session is in order. This includes not only visible surfaces like windowsills and furniture but also hard-to-reach areas where dust may accumulate. To start with, use a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter to capture fine particles. The Sanyo UVC Air Purifiers or the Midea air purifiers are highly recommended for this purpose as they effectively remove even the tiniest particulates. Be sure to clean your HVAC system too; a clogged filter can actually exacerbate dust issues. For surfaces, opt for microfiber cloths and water-based solutions that won’t leave streaks. In Dubai, where air quality can be quite poor post-sandstorm, it’s wise to ensure you’re using products that don't release harmful chemicals into the air. Greenpeace's recommended cleaning agents in the region are a good resource. Additionally, given the fine nature of sandstorm dust and its potential for containing allergens or other pollutants, consider scheduling an indoor environmental inspection with Saniservice. Their experts can assess the overall quality of your indoor environment and provide professional advice on maintaining optimal conditions. Remember, it’s not just about aesthetics; regularly cleaning up after sandstorms can help prevent respiratory issues and ensure a healthier living space. So go ahead, break out that vacuum cleaner, and get those surfaces sparkling! Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need further assistance or to schedule an inspection.
