Should I clean mold myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell coming from my grandmother's room on the second floor. When I went up to check, I found several areas with mold growing around her closet and under the bed. It’s been there for a while, but it only just caught my attention. Should I call in a professional cleaner or try to clean it myself?

Cleaning mold yourself can be challenging and may not always yield the best results. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's important to consider local regulations regarding indoor environmental quality. According to the Dubai Municipality, any renovation or cleaning work that significantly affects a property’s structure or systems should be carried out by licensed professionals.
In your case, given that you noticed persistent musty smells and mold growth around your grandmother's closet and under her bed, it would be wise to call in a professional cleaner. Mold can release harmful spores and mycotoxins, which can negatively impact respiratory health, especially for elderly individuals. A professional will have the right equipment, knowledge, and experience to safely remove the mold without causing further damage or exposing your grandmother to harmful substances. It’s also important to address the underlying moisture issue that led to the mold growth. This could be due to a leaking pipe, poor ventilation, or excess humidity. Professionals can identify these issues and recommend appropriate solutions to prevent future occurrences. To make things easier for you, I'd like to suggest reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or sending an email to hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, tackling indoor environmental issues promptly is crucial for maintaining both your grandmother’s health and the overall quality of her living environment. |
