Can I clean the guest room myself?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a mildew smell coming from the guest room that we use occasionally. The carpets look a bit dingy and there are dust bunnies under the bed. With the upcoming summer season and lots of expected guests, can I handle cleaning this room myself or do I need to hire someone for help?

Absolutely, you can take care of cleaning the guest room yourself. Given the recent rain and the presence of mildew smell along with dingy carpets and dust bunnies under the bed, a thorough clean-up is definitely needed before the summer season kicks off. In dubai, we have to be extra cautious about humidity levels which often lead to such issues.

Firstly, it's crucial that you address the moisture issue. Mildew thrives in damp environments so you'll need to ensure proper ventilation and drying of any water-stained areas. Open windows or use dehumidifiers to prevent further mold growth. Scrubbing the affected area with a mixture of water and bleach can help remove mildew stains.

Moving on to cleaning, start by removing all beddings, curtains, and other washable items for washing in hot water. For carpets, vacuum thoroughly to suck up any dust and debris. You might need to use a steam cleaner to deep clean the carpet fibers effectively. If you notice persistent stains or odors, consider using a mold-killing cleaner.

Under the bed is a common spot for dust bunnies and allergens. Use a handheld vacuum attachment to remove them. Regularly airing out the room can also help reduce humidity and prevent future issues.

While you can manage this cleaning yourself, it's important to keep an eye on the overall condition of the room. If mold or mildew persists despite your efforts, it might be wise to call in professionals for a thorough inspection. In the uae, regulations require that any mold remediation is handled by certified experts who can ensure safety and compliance with health standards.

If you decide not to tackle this yourself, i'd recommend reaching out to saniservice at 800-molds or email hello@saniservice.com for assistance. They are well-equipped to handle such issues professionally and efficiently.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial, especially during the summer months when many guests will be staying in your hotel rooms. A clean and healthy environment not only enhances guest satisfaction but also protects their health and safety.
