Living in the desert means that you have to do a lot of cleaning in the home for dust that somehow finds its way in. The best way I have found is to call a company who uses a steam cleaner that sucks all the dirt out and leaves my curtains and sofas looking like new. I’m not asthmatic but hate the smell of dust and dirt in the air, and since I wear contacts it often bothers my eyes. Most of these services are done on a large scale, for offices and conference centers, so it’s not always easy to get hold of an appointment, so I try and make my bookings well in advance.
