Should I clean mildew myself or call professionals?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning mildew yourself can be tricky and might not always yield the best results. In Dubai/UAE, regulations regarding indoor environmental quality are becoming more stringent to ensure public health and safety. Mildew growth is a sign of moisture issues which could indicate underlying problems that need professional attention.

Firstly, it’s important to assess the extent of the mildew. If you notice widespread or persistent growth, especially in areas like laundry rooms where conditions can be damp, it might be wise to call in professionals for an inspection. Our team at Saniservice has seen many cases where DIY methods didn’t fully resolve the issue and led to recurring problems.

To address your situation, start by identifying the source of moisture. This could be from leaks, condensation, or improper ventilation. Once you’ve pinpointed the cause, it’s crucial to fix the underlying problem to prevent future growth. However, before tackling that, we recommend a thorough cleaning process:

1. Wear protective gear such as gloves and masks.
2. Use a solution of one cup bleach per gallon of water (or a commercial cleaner designed for mildew) to scrub the affected areas.
3. Ensure proper ventilation while cleaning and after treatment.

But given your concerns about health impacts, especially with young kids and pets around, we advise seeking professional help. Saniservice offers comprehensive mold inspection and remediation services that not only clean but also identify and fix moisture issues to prevent recurrence.

Don’t hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email us at hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. Our team is here to ensure your indoor environment remains healthy and safe.

Remember, in Dubai/UAE, it’s essential to maintain high standards of hygiene and indoor air quality, especially when dealing with issues like mildew that can affect the health of you and your family.
