Should I worry about mold in the closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the closet where the cleaning staff store their buckets and mops. It’s quite disturbing because my family has been experiencing more frequent coughing and sniffles lately, especially in that room. Should I be concerned about the cleanliness or possible mold issues?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the possibility of mold growth in that closet. In dubai and the uae, humidity levels can sometimes rise, especially after heavy rains, leading to an increased risk of mold if proper ventilation or moisture control measures are not in place.

Mold spores are common in indoor environments, but when conditions like high humidity or standing water occur, they can flourish. The musty smell you mentioned is often a sign that there's moisture and possibly active mold growth. Exposure to mold can indeed cause respiratory issues such as coughing and sniffles, particularly among family members who spend time in the area.

Given your situation, it would be wise to get a professional inspection done immediately. Here at Saniservice, we specialize in environmental inspections and remediation for exactly these kinds of issues. We can help identify if mold is present and recommend appropriate cleaning or remediation steps.

Remember, dealing with mold isn’t just about removing it; you also need to address the underlying moisture source to prevent future growth. If you decide against a professional inspection right away, make sure to check regularly for any signs of water damage or increased humidity in that area.

If you do want to act now and can't wait for an appointment, start by ensuring good ventilation in the closet. Open windows if possible or use fans to help air out the space. It's also a good idea to wipe down any visible moisture with a solution of 1 cup bleach per gallon of water to kill mold spores.
