What caused the gray powder and how to clean it?« Back to Previous Page

The grayish powder you're noticing could be a result of indoor dust accumulation. In Dubai and the UAE, we often experience varying climatic conditions that can contribute to such issues. The recent dust storm might have caused some fine particles to settle inside your coworking space despite sealed windows.

Another possibility is the use of certain materials in the building's construction or renovation. For instance, if the structure was recently painted or sealants were applied, residual materials could flake off and create a powdery layer. Additionally, the presence of gypsum-based products like drywall can sometimes release dust when disturbed during daily activities.

For effective cleaning, start by gently dusting surfaces with a soft cloth or microfiber duster to remove any loose particles. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage sensitive materials or leave residues. A vacuum cleaner with an HEPA filter would be particularly useful in capturing fine particles without causing further disturbance.

If the issue persists or if you notice any unusual odors, it's advisable to seek a professional inspection. In the UAE, companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive environmental assessments and remediation services that comply with local regulations such as those outlined in the Building Code of Dubai.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for both health and comfort. Regular cleaning schedules can prevent such issues from becoming more serious.
