Is dampness near window due to cleaner?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in the corner of my living room near the window. The area has a slight musty smell that doesn’t seem to go away even after thorough cleaning. Could this be due to some cleaning retail products I’ve been using? Any advice on how to properly clean and prevent such issues would be greatly appreciated. What should I look for in terms of cleaner labels or methods to avoid similar problems in the future?

The dampness near your window could indeed be related to the cleaning products you've been using. In Dubai and UAE, it's important to be mindful of moisture control due to our climate. Persistent dampness coupled with a musty smell suggests that there might be some underlying issues such as mold growth or poor ventilation.
When choosing cleaning products in the UAE, always check for labels indicating they are suitable for use in humid environments like those found near windows. Look out for eco-friendly and non-toxic options which can help minimize the risk of introducing harmful chemicals into your indoor air. Some brands specifically cater to areas prone to moisture and will have instructions on how to properly clean and dry surfaces after application. For effective cleaning, ensure you use a cleaner that’s designed to tackle tough stains but also dries quickly. Avoid leaving wet cloths or sponges in the area for too long as this can contribute to dampness. After cleaning, open windows if weather permits to allow fresh air circulation, which will help reduce humidity levels. If the issue persists despite your efforts, it might be wise to call in a professional for an inspection.
