Who is responsible for cleaning up after a sandstorm?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning up after sandstorms can indeed be a challenge, especially in areas like Dubai where such events are relatively common. The responsibility for cleaning the aftermath of a sandstorm typically falls on building owners and residents. This is due to the fact that sand and dust are considered part of daily maintenance responsibilities according to local regulations.

In the UAE, specifically in cities like Dubai, there's no specific law mandating property management or building owners to clean public areas such as sidewalks, gardens, or even window sills after a storm. However, it is often expected that residents would take care of their own properties and communal spaces within residential buildings or complexes.

If you notice an accumulation of fine grit on your windowsills, it's indeed reasonable for you to clean them yourself. This not only ensures a safer environment but also maintains the aesthetics of your living space. For those who might be concerned about the long-term effects of such sand deposits, consulting with professionals can provide peace of mind and ensure that no hidden issues arise.

If you find that the amount of dust is overwhelming or if you're unsure how to tackle it effectively, don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance. Companies like Saniservice are well-versed in dealing with post-storm cleanups and can offer a range of services from simple cleaning tasks to more comprehensive environmental inspections.

Remember though, in many cases, the onus is on you as a resident or property owner to ensure your immediate environment is safe and habitable. Always take necessary precautions when cleaning up fine sand - wear protective eyewear, use damp cloths, and avoid sweeping which can lead to dust particles becoming airborne.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need any further advice or assistance. Keeping your living environment clean post-sandstorm is crucial for health and comfort.

And don't forget, regular cleaning of window sills during dry periods can also help prevent buildup from future storms!
