Should I hire professionals for autumn cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed water spots on my ceiling and some mildew around the bathtub. The living room also feels a bit dusty even though we vacuum twice a week. Given that it's getting colder and more humid, should I consider hiring professional cleaning services for the entire apartment? What can I expect in terms of cost and which areas might need the most attention?

Absolutely, the conditions you're experiencing sound like they would benefit from some professional attention. With the recent rains and the upcoming colder, more humid weather, it’s a good idea to ensure your apartment is thoroughly cleaned before the season changes. In Dubai and throughout the UAE, humidity can lead to the growth of mold and mildew, which could potentially cause health issues if not addressed properly.

Given that you've noticed water spots on your ceiling and mildew around the bathtub, these are clear signs that moisture management needs attention. Additionally, the increased dust in the living room despite regular vacuuming suggests that a deep clean might be necessary to tackle any hidden allergens or irritants.

In terms of cost, hiring professional cleaning services can range widely depending on the scope of work and the specific company you choose. A full apartment cleaning might start from around AED 1000 to AED 3000, but this can go higher based on the complexity of the job.

When choosing a service provider in Dubai, it’s crucial to ensure they are licensed and adhere to local regulations. In the UAE, there is no specific industry regulation for cleaning services, but companies should still follow best practices and use environmentally friendly products where applicable.

For areas that need special attention:
1. Bathroom: This area typically requires deep cleaning due to high moisture content. Pay extra attention to grout lines, behind fixtures, and around the bathtub or shower.
2. Ceiling and Walls: Look for any signs of water damage or mold growth. Deep clean these surfaces if necessary.
3. Furniture and Rugs: Dust and vacuum thoroughly under furniture and consider steam cleaning rugs if they are heavily soiled.

A professional will also be able to identify areas that may need additional maintenance, such as sealing gaps where moisture can enter the building envelope.

It's always a good idea to request a quote from multiple companies and check their references before making a decision. You could also ask for a pre-inspection if you're unsure about what needs attention or if you want to ensure that your concerns are being addressed adequately.

If you decide to proceed, consider calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection and remediation service tailored to your specific apartment's needs. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for the health of all residents in your home.

Taking these steps will help ensure that your living environment remains clean, safe, and comfortable throughout the colder months ahead.
