Is a musty smell in my closet urgent?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, a musty smell and high humidity levels in your closet can be pretty urgent. In Dubai and the UAE, we're always dealing with varying climate conditions that can lead to such issues. It's important you take action soon.

Humidity levels higher than 60% can create a breeding ground for mold and mildew. The musty smell is often an indicator of this, as these microorganisms produce spores which can have health impacts on individuals, especially those with allergies or respiratory conditions. In the UAE, given our hot and humid climate sometimes, it's crucial to keep humidity under control.

You've already got a dehumidifier running but if your closet is still feeling damp, there might be more to address than just moisture. Check for any leaks around windows or doors that could be causing additional moisture ingress. Also, ensure your closet has good ventilation – opening the door occasionally can help. However, relying on passive methods alone may not always suffice.

It's recommended you call in a professional from a company like ours, Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537), for an inspection. They'll be able to assess the full scope of your indoor environment and provide tailored solutions that might include dehumidifiers, air purifiers, or even structural changes if needed.
