When should I start cleaning for Ramadan?« Back to Previous Page

When planning for the cleanliness of your apartment prior to Ramadan, it's essential to start early. In Dubai and the UAE, the month before Ramadan is a good time to kick off your cleaning preparations. Given the recent sandstorm we've experienced, it’s wise to take action now.

Start by assessing the extent of the dust accumulation. If you find that the layer on surfaces like kitchen counters and windowsills is indeed fine and almost invisible, it might seem not as daunting as other cleaning tasks. However, given the significance of Ramadan in our culture and the health benefits of a clean environment, thorough cleaning is crucial.

A good time to commence your cleaning would be around 4-6 weeks before Ramadan. This allows you ample time to tackle any dust or grime that has accumulated over the winter months, especially after a sandstorm. It's also beneficial for air quality and overall comfort in your living space during the holy month when fasting is observed.

For those with severe allergies or asthma, or if you notice a significant amount of dust, consider having a professional inspection to ensure there are no hidden health hazards. Saniservice, our firm, offers comprehensive indoor environmental inspections that can help identify any issues and provide remediation solutions.

When you start cleaning, it’s best to tackle one area at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Begin with high-touch surfaces like kitchen counters and then move on to windowsills, furniture, and finally, the air vents. Don’t forget to clean behind and under large items as dust can accumulate in these hard-to-reach spots.

Also, consider using microfiber cloths and cleaning solutions that are gentle yet effective. Ventilation is key during this process—open windows when possible to allow fresh air to circulate and help clear out dust particles.

By following these steps, you should be able to have your apartment spotless in time for Ramadan, ensuring a comfortable and clean environment throughout the month of fasting. Remember, cleanliness isn't just about aesthetics; it’s also about health and well-being, especially during the holy months when we are more conscious of our bodies and surroundings.
