Hi Ladies

Just wanted to check with you about the dust............as couldn't find any previous posts about it.

When you have your apartment cleaned, how long does it stay dust free?

For me, the next day everything is covered in dust! it is everywhere, and my feet gets dirty if I walk bare foot. I understand that it is a problem of Dubai but I did not imagine it was to such an extent.

Please can you give me some ideas if this is normal or could it be to do with the AC filters??

AC FILTERS: how often do these need to be changed? Do I need to get a private company to come and do it or is something the building management should do?

Many thanks!!

My house too is dusty again by the next day, but then I have pets going in and out all the time so the door's are regularly opened. Also, we are behind Arabian Ranches, so behind us is nothing but pure dusty desert. The windows and doors dont seem to keep the dust out very well. I guess it depends on where you live, in town or on the outskirts like sky DSO. In theory an apartment will stay dust free longer than a villa. You might want to check the windows if they are not forming a seal, you can buy some sealing tape in Ace. As for the filters, I have cleaned them myself on a few occasions as I feel silly calling in the maintainence guys to do it. I would ask at the reception in your building. Thanks Sabrina. We live in Dubai Marina.. We don't open the windows, don't even go the balcony, so I would imagine it should stay dust free for a couple of days at least. Ah well...will have to go and see the maintenance guys.
