Should cleaning staff address standing water?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, cleaning staff should definitely address standing water. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, maintaining clean and dry environments is crucial due to our climate and the need for mold prevention. According to the UAE Code of Practice for Indoor Environmental Quality, it's essential that all water sources are promptly addressed to prevent contamination or damage.

When you noticed a puddle near your balcony entrance after the rain last month, it was indeed important for the cleaning staff to deal with it swiftly. Water pooling can lead to mold growth which is more prevalent in our warm and humid climate. Mold not only poses health risks but also damages building materials over time.

Typically, balcony areas should be cleaned at least twice a week by the cleaning staff. However, given your situation, a more frequent inspection and cleanup might be necessary, especially during rainy periods or after significant rainfall events. Ensure that the balcony is properly drained to prevent water accumulation. Check for any clogged drains or gaps in the flooring where water could pool.
