When will vacuuming dust cloud dissipate?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent heavy cleaning they did in our villa, I’ve been noticing a persistent dust cloud every time the maid vacuums. The living room gets particularly bad; it’s like there's a small dust storm happening right next to me when she’s working! It’s been going on for almost two weeks now and I’m starting to worry about it. When is this supposed to settle down, or should we be more urgent with addressing this?

Hello! I'm glad to help. In the UAE especially Dubai, indoor environmental quality can sometimes be affected by cleaning practices, and it sounds like you're experiencing a dust cloud issue after recent thorough vacuuming.
Firstly, it's important to understand that this phenomenon is not uncommon in newly cleaned areas, particularly if there was significant buildup of dust or debris prior to the cleaning. The sudden release of particles into the air can create what seems like a "dust storm" when the vacuum is used. This usually settles down within 2-3 days as the environment adjusts and the air circulation helps disperse the particles. However, if it has been almost two weeks since your last deep clean and you're still seeing this issue, there are a few things to consider: 1. Ventilation: Ensure that your home is well-ventilated. Open windows or use fans to help move the dust out of the living area as soon as possible after vacuuming. 2. Vacuuming Technique: Make sure the maid uses a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filters, which are more effective at capturing fine particles and allergens. The technique should also be correct—sweeping the floor gently before vacuuming can help prevent dust from flying up into the air. 3. Frequency of Cleaning: It might seem counterintuitive, but sometimes over-cleaning can exacerbate this issue. Try staggering cleaning tasks to avoid overwhelming your home with particles at once. 4. Professional Inspection: Given that you've been experiencing this for almost two weeks and it’s getting particularly bad in the living room, it would be wise to have a professional inspection done. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can help assess the situation and provide solutions tailored to your specific environment. If these steps do not improve the situation or if you feel uncomfortable with the current level of dust exposure, it might be time to call in an expert.
