Is cleaning behind furniture dangerous?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning behind furniture can be a bit tricky and depending on what you find there, it might raise some concerns. In the UAE, particularly in dubai, indoor environmental quality is quite crucial due to our climate and building practices.

First off, if you've found something that looks like mold or cleaning summer (which i'll assume means mildew), it's important not to ignore it. Mold can be a serious issue as it can cause respiratory problems especially for those who are allergic or have asthma. In the UAE, there is no specific law mandating mandatory removal of mold before occupancy but it’s definitely something you should take care of.

If you suspect mold behind your furniture, i’d recommend having a professional inspection first. The call 800-mo[l]ds or email hello@saniservice.com can help guide you on the best course of action. They have experts who can assess the situation and provide a proper treatment plan if necessary.

Cleaning it yourself is possible but requires some precautions:
• Wear protective clothing such as gloves, goggles, and a mask.
• Ensure good ventilation in the area by opening windows or using an exhaust fan.
• Use a solution of water and detergent to clean the affected areas. For tougher spots, you can add some bleach (but be careful not to mix it with ammonia).
• After cleaning, make sure everything is thoroughly dried.

Remember, if the mold growth is extensive or if the area is large, professional remediation services are highly recommended. They have specialized equipment and techniques that ensure a thorough and safe removal of mold.

In terms of safety during treatment, most professional companies will recommend you leave the premises for a few hours while they work. This precautionary step ensures your safety from any airborne spores during the cleanup process.

Lastly, always keep an eye out for signs of water damage or high humidity which can lead to mold growth in the future. Regular maintenance and keeping areas dry are key to preventing such issues.

So, do take action if you find anything suspicious behind your furniture. Safety is paramount and a quick call to professionals will save both time and worry.
