How do I deal with indoor air?« Back to Previous Page

We've been in our Dubai villa for about a year now and I just discovered what looks like indoor air behind some furniture. Is this dangerous and do I need to move out during treatment?

Handling indoor air concerns can be quite the ordeal but fear not. In Dubai/UAE, the importance of maintaining good indoor air quality is paramount to both health and comfort. The first step you should take after discovering "indoor air" behind furniture is to assess the situation carefully.

Firstly, it's essential to understand what could be causing this issue. In our region, high humidity levels can lead to moisture accumulation, which in turn might cause mold growth or other airborne particulates. If you're experiencing unusual smells, discoloration, or visible growth behind furniture or in your villa, these are signs that warrant immediate attention.

If the area is small and manageable, you could start by cleaning with a damp cloth and ensuring proper ventilation to dry out any damp spots. However, if the issue seems widespread or persistent, it's highly recommended to contact a professional service provider like Saniservice for an inspection. They can assess your situation accurately, identify potential sources of contamination, and provide tailored solutions.

In the UAE, regulations such as those found in the Building Control Department (BCD) require buildings to maintain certain standards regarding indoor air quality. While individual homes might not be subject to the same strict guidelines, ensuring a healthy living environment is still crucial for residents' well-being.

Moving out during treatment is generally not necessary unless the situation poses an immediate health risk or if significant renovations are required that would render your home uninhabitable temporarily. Saniservice can work around your schedule and provide solutions that minimize disruption to your daily life.

Remember, when it comes to indoor air quality in Dubai/UAE, prevention is key. Regular maintenance checks, keeping humidity levels under control with dehumidifiers or air conditioning units, and ensuring proper ventilation are all part of a proactive approach to maintaining a healthy living space.
