What are the signs of cleaning summer?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning summer is a term often used to describe the increase in mold and mildew growth during hot and humid seasons. This phenomenon can be quite common in places like Dubai where we experience high temperatures and occasional rainfall, leading to perfect conditions for these organisms to thrive.

In your case, those dark spots near your AC vent could indeed indicate cleaning summer. Mold spores are everywhere, but they need moisture and a suitable environment to grow. The air conditioning system can sometimes fail to remove all the moisture from the air, especially if it’s not regularly maintained, thus creating an ideal breeding ground for mold.

Now that you’ve noticed this, here’s what you should do:

1. Inspect Thoroughly: Check around other areas of your home where there might be similar conditions like bathrooms and kitchen. Look out for any discoloration or musty odors.
2. Ventilation Matters: Ensure good ventilation in all parts of the house to reduce humidity levels, especially after using showers or cooking.
3. Air Conditioning Maintenance: Have your AC system checked by a professional at least twice a year. This includes cleaning the filters and inspecting for any leaks that could be causing excess moisture.
4. Check Humidity Levels: Use a hygrometer to monitor indoor humidity levels. Aim for 50% or lower, as higher levels can promote mold growth.
