Should I worry about mildew in the guest bathroom?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a mildew smell coming from the guest bathroom. It’s in the corner by the window where water often pools after showers. I’ve tried cleaning it with bleach and scrubbing, but it doesn’t seem to be helping much. Should I just try harder or should I call for professional help?

Absolutely, you should worry about mildew in the guest bathroom. Mildew is no joke, especially in such humid climates as we experience here in Dubai and across the UAE. It's crucial to address this issue swiftly both for health reasons and property preservation.

In the UAE, particularly in cities like Dubai, humidity levels can be quite high. This makes bathrooms more susceptible to moisture buildup, which is ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew growth. The corner by the window you mentioned where water often pools after showers is a prime spot for this to occur. Regular cleaning with bleach or other household disinfectants might not always cut it if there's an underlying issue of persistent high humidity or inadequate ventilation.

I'd recommend that you increase your efforts in cleaning but also consider professional intervention. Sanitizing the area thoroughly and ensuring good air circulation can make a difference, yet these measures often aren't enough on their own to completely eradicate mildew. Professional inspection could be really beneficial as it can uncover deeper issues like dampness or structural problems that might require attention.

Remember, if you notice any discoloration, musty smell, or signs of water damage in your bathroom, it’s important to address the problem promptly to prevent further spread and potential health risks. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for expert guidance on how to manage this situation effectively.

If you're not sure about how to proceed or if the issue seems too serious, don't hesitate to call in professionals who can offer a thorough inspection and appropriate remediation strategies. Ignoring these signs could lead to bigger issues down the line that are more costly to fix.

Stay proactive and keep your indoor environment healthy and safe!
