How do I deal with cleaning new?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed water stains forming on the ceiling of my living room. The carpets also seem a bit damp despite regular vacuuming. Should I consider hiring professionals to thoroughly clean these areas, or is there an easy DIY solution?

When dealing with water stains and damp carpets after rainfall in your living room, it's essential to act promptly. The first step would be to assess the extent of the damage before deciding whether you can handle it yourself or if professional help is needed.

In dubai and the UAE, maintaining good indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is crucial due to our climate and frequent weather changes like heavy rainfalls. Water stains on ceilings could indicate a larger issue such as leaking pipes or inadequate drainage which might require inspection by a qualified plumber. For carpets that are showing signs of dampness despite regular cleaning, this could be an indication of moisture issues in the subflooring or even condensation from high humidity levels.

If you're considering DIY solutions for these problems, it's important to act quickly. Start by removing any standing water and drying out affected areas using fans or dehumidifiers if available. For the ceiling, inspect for signs of damage like cracks that might need repair. Clean the area thoroughly with a mixture of mild detergent and warm water followed by drying completely.

For carpets, try vacuuming more frequently to remove excess moisture and dirt. You can use a carpet cleaner according to its instructions or even steam cleaning if necessary. Ensure good ventilation in the room after cleaning.

However, given the specific conditions in dubai and the UAE, where humidity levels can be high, it might be wise to call professionals for a thorough inspection and remediation. This could prevent future issues such as mold growth which is regulated by law here in the UAE. Professionals like those at Saniservice can provide expert advice on how best to address both immediate concerns and long-term solutions.
