Should I hire cleaners or manage dust myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heat wave, I’ve noticed a lot of dust collecting on the shelves and furniture in my grandmother’s room. It’s really concerning to see how much has built up, especially since she’s been recovering from surgery and can’t move around as freely anymore. Given our location in the penthouse apartment and with the summer heat making it hard for us to clean, should I consider hiring professional cleaners or is there a more cost-effective way we could manage this?

Absolutely understanding your concern! Given the unique challenges of managing indoor environments like dust and debris in Dubai, especially during our harsh summer months, it’s definitely important to take into consideration both the practicality and effectiveness of your options.

Firstly, let's address the cleanliness issue. With dust accumulating rapidly due to minimal movement from your grandmother and the high heat making regular cleaning a challenge, I'd strongly recommend considering professional cleaners. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it’s not uncommon for households to hire such services, especially during peak periods like summer when external factors can significantly impact indoor air quality.

Professional cleaners have the necessary tools and expertise to manage dust effectively without causing any disturbances to your grandmother's health or recovery. They'll ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned while minimizing exposure to potential irritants. Moreover, professional cleaning companies in Dubai adhere to specific standards and regulations set by bodies such as the Department of Economic Development (DED), which ensures their services meet certain quality benchmarks.

However, if hiring professionals isn’t feasible due to financial constraints or other reasons, here are some alternative strategies:

1. Use Microfiber Cloths: These cloths can trap dust better than regular cloths and won't leave behind lint.
2. Dust with a Feather Duster or Electrostatic Dusting Cloth: This method can be gentler on surfaces compared to traditional dusters which may spread more dust around.
3. Regular Vacuum Cleaning: Using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter can help capture fine particles that might otherwise settle back into the air.

It's also crucial to ensure proper ventilation when cleaning, even if it’s not optimal outside due to heat. Opening windows or using an air purifier can help mitigate dust and allergens in the environment.

Lastly, given your concern about indoor environmental quality, I'd suggest a professional inspection by Saniservice for peace of mind. They can assess the current state of your home's indoor air quality and provide recommendations tailored to your specific situation.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is paramount during such challenging times. So while DIY methods are an option, they should be combined with professional assistance if possible. Don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on their services!

Hope this helps!
