Preserving Your Sanctuary: The Hidden Battle for Hygiene in Indian Gated Communities

Living in a gated community comes with its share of advantages and drawbacks. Some of the top builders in India like #Casagrand, #Appaswamy, #DLF, #Ceebros, #ASTA, #VGN, #Purvankara, #Navins, #IshaYara, #Jainshousing #XSreal #VGN, #Salma #SIS and a lot more have established these communities, offering top-notch apartments adorned with the latest technologies and luxurious amenities.

These apartments are a sight to behold, with costly household equipment like modular kitchens, exquisite tiles made from materials such as Marbles, Granite, Italian Marbles, and Vitrified Tiles. Bathroom spaces are transformed with the inclusion of Shower Doors instead of traditional shower curtains, even by regular builders, to entice potential buyers.

The design, layout, amenities, and security in these gated communities are impeccable, making them an attractive place to reside. However, these services come at a cost, with maintenance fees collected from the residents to uphold the quality of life.

Despite the grandeur, India faces a significant issue with salt water and hard water, even in communities equipped with RO plants. These water concerns lead to the formation of stubborn salt stains and soap scum in bathroom spaces and around wash basins and kitchen sinks.

While builders ensure the beauty and elegance of the apartments, the responsibility for maintaining individual houses lies with the residents, and common areas are the domain of maintenance teams appointed by Apartment Resident Welfare Associations.

The maintenance team charges fees that encompass various services, including cleanliness, an aspect that cannot be compromised in any living space.

Residents must scrutinize the quality of cleaning materials rather than relying on brand names. Not all branded products guarantee the best results. Stains in the apartment indicate a lapse in maintenance.

Over the years, residents have paid fees. Maintenance teams have procured cleaners and used on daily basis, yet stubborn stains persist. It’s essential to question why.

Some maintenance teams opt for costly and branded cleaning materials, while others settle for cheap, subpar options from local markets. If both were as effective, gated communities would be the epitome of hygiene.

It’s time for a shift towards prioritizing quality cleaning materials. Salt stains are not merely cosmetic issues; they also harbor bacteria and fungi, posing health risks.

Diseases can spread rapidly in a gated community. Thus, it’s imperative for builders, residents, and maintenance teams to collectively emphasize the use of high-quality cleaning materials.

Take a moment to reevaluate your surroundings and examine the quality of the products used for maintenance. It’s time for a change, a transition towards a healthier living environment.
