Why is dust accumulating despite recent cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

Dust accumulation in childcare areas despite recent cleaning can be quite common, especially after weather events like the heavy dust storm that recently hit Dubai. Here are a few reasons why this might be happening and some practical steps you could take:

Firstly, it's important to understand that dust can settle from the air even when there's no obvious source of dirt or mess. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we experience varying weather conditions which can affect indoor air quality. The recent dust storm brought in a lot of particulate matter that settled on surfaces.

Secondly, children's play areas often have more frequent human activity and contact with surfaces, making them prone to accumulating more dust. Carpets can trap more dirt than hard flooring due to the fibers holding onto particles better.

Thirdly, consider the cleanliness of your vacuum cleaner. An old or not properly maintained one might not be effectively removing dust from carpets. Regular professional cleaning services in Dubai recommend using HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters which are particularly effective at capturing fine particles.

For a thorough clean-up, I'd suggest employing some specific techniques:
• Use microfiber cloths and mops as they're great for trapping dust and dirt.
• Deep clean carpets by shampooing them or hiring a professional service. In Dubai, there are companies that offer steam cleaning which is quite effective at removing embedded dust.
• Regularly change and wash bedding and curtains as these often collect a lot of dust too.
• Keep an eye on air quality inside your home; in Dubai, you can use air purifiers to help reduce airborne particulates.

If the issue persists or if you suspect there might be mold growth (which is more common after storms), I'd recommend contacting a professional environmental inspection and remediation company. Here in Dubai, Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com offers reliable services for these issues.

Remember to maintain regular cleaning routines but also assess the effectiveness of your methods periodically. With some adjustments and perhaps a bit more attention to detail, you should be able to keep those play areas dust-free once again!
