Should I be worried about mold in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a weird musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet. My clothes and towels started feeling damp and slightly moldy, even though the windows were open regularly. It’s quite concerning because it’s been going on for over two weeks now. How urgent should I be about addressing this potential cleaning infection issue?

Absolutely, the musty smell and damp feeling of your clothes and towels could be indicative of mold growth. Mold spores can easily spread through air conditioning systems or even open windows especially during rainy weather like what we've had in Dubai this month.

In the UAE, including Dubai, it's crucial to address potential mold issues promptly as they can not only affect the comfort and smell of your home but also pose health risks such as respiratory problems for some individuals. According to local regulations, maintaining a healthy indoor environment is key to ensuring occupant well-being in buildings.

Given that the issue has persisted for over two weeks, it might be wise to seek professional assistance from companies like Saniservice who can conduct thorough inspections and remediation work. These experts are well-versed with the local climate conditions and regulations which ensures a proper and safe solution.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need immediate help. Addressing this promptly will not only clear up your closet but also prevent any future issues that could arise from persistent mold growth. Remember, regular inspections can save you from bigger problems down the line.

In the meantime, try to keep the area well-ventilated and avoid further dampness by ensuring proper drainage near your home. If possible, move clothes and items out of the closet temporarily until a professional has had a chance to assess and clean the space.
