Dubai Marina Apartment Cleaning: Glass, Balconies and Sea Humidity - Al Asfour Al Zahabi - 0588837818
Tower apartments in Dubai Marina need a different kind of cleaning: a salt film on the glass, humidity on the balconies, and dust drawn in through the AC. Practical steps, and when to call in a professional team.
Why Do Dubai Marina Apartments Need a Special Cleaning Approach?
Most homes in Dubai Marina are apartments in high-rise towers close to the sea. The humid, salt-laden air leaves a dull film on glass and aluminium, and dust builds up on balconies and AC vents faster than in apartments further from the coast. That's why a quick once-a-week clean isn't enough; your apartment needs a plan that targets these specific areas.
Glass and Interior Window Surfaces
- Wipe the inside of the glass with lukewarm water and a mild glass cleaner, then use a squeegee and a dry microfibre cloth so no streaks are left behind.
- Sand and salt build up in aluminium frames and sliding-door tracks, so clean them with a small brush and a vacuum cleaner before wiping with water.
- The tower's exterior façade is usually the building management's responsibility, so focus on the inside and the balcony glass you can reach safely.
The Balcony: Dust, Humidity and Drainage
Before washing your balcony, check the tower management's rules on spraying and draining water, as many towers don't allow water to drip onto the balconies below. It's best to start by sweeping and vacuuming, then mop the floor with a damp mop without flooding it. Outdoor and metal furniture should be wiped with a damp cloth, then a dry one, to prevent rust.
Kitchens and Bathrooms in Towers
- Kitchen: Grease builds up quickly in the cooker hood and its filter in closed-up apartments, so wash the filter with hot water and a degreaser roughly once a month.
- Bathrooms: High humidity encourages dark stains on the grout between tiles and around the bathtub. Ventilate the bathroom after use and clean the grout with a dedicated cleaner.
- AC vents: Wipe the dust off the vent grilles regularly; this cuts down the dust that settles back onto your furniture.
A Suggested Schedule for a Marina Apartment
- Weekly: Vacuum floors and carpets, wipe kitchen surfaces, clean the bathrooms.
- Every two weeks: Balcony glass from the inside and the sliding-door tracks.
- Every 3 months: Deep clean of the kitchen, bathrooms, curtains and sofas.
