Is professional cleaning really necessary after dust storms?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent dust storms, I noticed a lot of fine particles settling on our furniture and even in corners that are hard to reach. My neighbor recommended hiring a professional cleaner certified by the Abu Dhabi Environment Agency, but I’m unsure about the costs and whether it’s really necessary for someone with our home size (1500 sq ft). Can anyone share their experience or insights on this?

Absolutely, professional cleaning after dust storms is indeed necessary for maintaining both indoor air quality and the overall health of your home. The recent incidents involving fine particles settling on furniture and even in hard-to-reach corners highlight a critical issue that can't be overlooked.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we often experience sand and dust storms which can introduce significant particulate matter into our homes. These particles are not only unsightly but also potentially harmful. They might include pollen, spores, and other allergens. As per regulations by the Abu Dhabi Environment Agency, it's highly recommended to engage a professional cleaner who is certified for such tasks.

Professional cleaners equipped with advanced tools can effectively remove these fine particulates from surfaces that are hard to reach, ensuring not only an aesthetically pleasing environment but also better indoor air quality. This process involves thorough cleaning techniques and may include the use of specialized equipment designed to capture micro-dust particles efficiently.

For a home of your size (1500 sq ft), it’s crucial to consider the scale of the task. While DIY cleaning can be done, it might not cover every corner as comprehensively or effectively as a professional would. Additionally, certified professionals are better equipped with knowledge about the specific challenges faced in our region due to climatic conditions.

It's also important to note that repeated exposure to these particles can lead to respiratory issues and other health concerns over time. Therefore, regular maintenance cleaning is advised, especially after significant weather events like dust storms.

In case you're considering hiring a professional cleaner, I highly recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for further assistance. They provide services that are tailored to our local conditions and can offer peace of mind knowing your home is clean and safe post-dust storm.

Remember, while the immediate reaction might be to just dust off surfaces, a thorough professional cleaning ensures all hidden particles are addressed, leading to a healthier living environment.
