Should I hire professionals to clean dust and sand safely?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy dust storm last week, I noticed a layer of fine sand and dust in the corners of the living room where my elderly mother stays. Cleaning it up myself would take hours, but I’m worried about her safety around sharp cleaning tools. Should I hire professionals to do this? What can I expect in terms of cost for a thorough clean-up?

Absolutely, hiring professionals for cleaning tasks can be the safer and more efficient option especially given your concerns about safety around sharp tools. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the dust storms are a common occurrence that can leave behind fine sand and dust particles that might pose health risks, especially to elderly individuals.
Firstly, it's important to note that under the Occupational Health & Safety Law 2016, which applies throughout the UAE, employers and property owners have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their workers and residents. This means that if your mother is living in a rented accommodation or a shared space, you may need to inform the relevant parties about any potential health hazards. When it comes to cleaning up after such storms, professionals can offer a thorough clean-up without posing risks of injury from tools. They are equipped with the right gear and techniques to handle the situation effectively. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) specialize in this area and can provide you with a detailed quote based on the extent of the damage. Expect costs to vary depending on the size of the space and the severity of the dust. A professional clean-up might include not just surface cleaning but also deep cleaning of areas like corners, ceiling fans, and HVAC systems where dust might accumulate. They may also use HEPA filters in their vacuums to ensure that fine particles are captured properly. Furthermore, it's recommended to have a professional inspection done after such events to assess any potential health risks or structural damage. This is especially true if the storm was particularly severe and you notice unusual odors, mold growth, or other signs of water intrusion which could be exacerbated by dust. In conclusion, while DIY cleaning might seem like an option, it's safer and more practical to leave such tasks to experts who can ensure that your loved one’s environment remains safe and hygienic. Don’t hesitate to contact Saniservice for a consultation – their team will be able to provide you with personalized advice and services tailored to your needs. Remember, when dealing with dust storms or similar events, prioritizing safety is key. Trust the professionals to handle it in the best way possible. |
