Should we call professionals or handle dust storm clean-up ourselves?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, after the recent dust storm, it's wise to consider both options for cleaning your office space. In Dubai, as we often experience such weather phenomena, keeping a clean and healthy indoor environment is crucial. While you might feel inclined to tackle this yourself, given the extent of the mess - sand on windows, sneezing and coughing among colleagues - it could indeed be more efficient and effective to call in professionals.

Firstly, UAE regulations regarding air quality and health in public and commercial spaces are stringent. Post-dust-storm clean-ups should ideally meet these standards for safety and compliance. Professional cleaning services have the necessary equipment and expertise to ensure a thorough clean without risking damage to your office furniture or systems.

However, if you decide to go it alone first, here's what you can do: Start by removing loose dirt with a soft brush followed by a vacuum cleaner designed for delicate surfaces like window panes. Ensure all windows are closed tightly to prevent further sand entry during the cleaning process. Utilize HEPA filters in your vacuum or portable air purifiers to catch fine particles. For a quick clean-up, you can use water and gentle detergents, but be cautious of excessive moisture which could lead to mold growth.

But remember, if you find that sand particles are difficult to remove despite your efforts or if the situation feels overwhelming, it's best to call in professionals. Saniservice, for instance, offers expert cleaning services tailored to post-dust-storm conditions. Their team will have access to specialized cleaning solutions and techniques that can quickly return your workspace to a clean and healthy state.

In case you decide against professional help, keep an eye out for any lingering issues like moisture or dust build-up which might lead to mold growth - a serious concern in our climate. If you spot anything suspicious, do not hesitate to contact 800-MOLDS for inspection. Maintaining a clean environment is key to avoiding health problems and ensuring productivity.

Hope this helps!
