What are the signs of cleaning coworking?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning a coworking space after dust storms can be quite the task, especially when you're dealing with fine grit and debris that's settled over time. Given the specifics of Dubai/UAE, it’s important to consider both practicalities and regulations when tackling this job.

Firstly, the UAE has specific guidelines for indoor air quality (IAQ) which are part of its environmental health standards. These ensure a healthy working environment but don't provide detailed cleaning protocols. However, it's wise to familiarize yourself with these guidelines as they might indirectly guide your cleaning efforts.

The signs that you should consider when deciding on the approach include:
• The extent and nature of the dirt: If you notice that surfaces are visibly coated in grit or if there’s a layer more than 1mm thick, professional help may be necessary.
• Frequency of use: Considering how frequently the space is used can indicate how quickly dust will accumulate. High traffic areas or spaces with more use might need more frequent cleanings.
• The presence of sensitive equipment: If your coworking space houses electronics or other delicate items that could be damaged by cleaning agents, professional assistance would be beneficial.

DIY Cleaning Tips:
• Start by removing the visible debris with a soft-bristled brush or vacuum cleaner. Be careful around electronic devices to avoid damaging them.
• Use microfiber cloths and gentle cleaners to wipe down surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals which can damage finishes or leave residues.
• Focus on high touch areas such as keyboards, mice, desks, and chairs.

Professional Inspection Considerations:
If you're unsure about the extent of the cleaning required or if your space contains sensitive equipment, it’s advisable to seek a professional inspection first. In Dubai/UAE, companies like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) can provide detailed assessments and tailored cleaning plans.

In summary, while you can handle the initial clean-up yourself with careful attention to detail, it's wise to err on the side of caution. Professional help ensures that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned without risking damage.
