Should we hire cleaners or do a deep clean?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a lot of dust accumulating on the office furniture despite regular cleaning. My colleagues and I are starting to feel unwell, possibly due to mold or allergens. Given our budget constraints, should we hire professional office cleaners or attempt a deep clean ourselves?

Absolutely, the well-being of your staff is key and it's wise to address this issue head-on. Given that you've noticed an increase in dust and potential mold growth since the recent rain, I'd recommend engaging a professional cleaning service. In Dubai/UAE, regulations mandate regular maintenance to ensure indoor air quality standards are met, especially after weather events like heavy rainfall.

Firstly, let's discuss what a deep clean entails. A thorough cleaning process involves more than just surface dusting and vacuuming. It includes removing grime from surfaces you might not normally notice like under furniture or behind partitions. In addition to that, professional services often use specialized equipment such as HEPA vacuums which can capture fine particles including allergens.

Now, regarding the budget aspect, it’s important to remember that a deep clean by professionals may cost more upfront but could save money in the long run. Professional cleaners have access to better tools and techniques that can effectively remove contaminants without causing further damage. Plus, they’re trained to spot potential mold growth or other issues you might miss.

However, if budget is indeed a constraint, consider doing a deep clean yourself with appropriate measures. Ensure you wear protective gear such as gloves and masks when cleaning areas prone to dust accumulation. Pay special attention to areas like windowsills, corners behind furniture, and under desks where moisture can collect leading to mold growth. Also, use disinfectants that are effective against common allergens and pathogens.

Regardless of whether you choose professional help or a DIY approach, it’s crucial to follow up with a regular cleaning schedule to maintain the cleanliness level and prevent dust and mold from building up again. You might also want to look into using indoor air quality monitors to keep track of your environment's health.
