Cleaning infection can indeed pose some health risks depending on the extent and type of contamination. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, it's crucial to take such issues seriously as they can affect both your health and the overall quality of life within a villa.

Firstly, if you've noticed signs of cleaning infection behind furniture, it’s important not to ignore this. The symptoms might range from mold growth, which could be due to excess moisture in the environment, to bacterial or viral contamination that may have been present but unnoticed for some time. Mold and other contaminants can release spores into the air, leading to respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and in severe cases, more serious health problems.

Given your situation, it would be prudent to seek a professional inspection from a reputable company specializing in indoor environmental quality assessments. In Dubai, you can contact companies like Saniservice or call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for expert guidance and treatment options. These services often have experience dealing with UAE-specific conditions that could impact the environment within your villa.

When treating cleaning infection, ensure thorough cleaning and decontamination processes are carried out by professionals using appropriate methods and equipment. This might involve removing infested materials, treating surfaces with disinfectants, and ensuring proper ventilation to prevent further issues. Additionally, addressing any underlying moisture problems is essential for preventing recurrence.

If the contamination is severe or poses immediate health risks, temporary relocation might be advised until the environment is deemed safe by a professional. However, this should only be considered after thorough assessment and consultation with specialists who can provide guidance based on your specific situation.

Remember to maintain good indoor air quality practices such as regular cleaning, use of dehumidifiers in damp areas, and ensuring proper ventilation throughout your villa. Regular inspections are also recommended to catch any issues early before they become more problematic.

In summary, while it's not necessary for everyone with cleaning infection to move out during treatment, the safety of you and your family should be prioritized. Professional assistance is key to effectively addressing this issue in Dubai or anywhere else within the UAE.
