After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet. The shelves are now covered in a thick layer of dust that seems more stubborn than usual, even with regular cleaning. Should I be using a different cleaner or is there something else causing this issue?

Is dampness causing tough-to-clean shelves?
It sounds like the dampness in your bedroom closet could be making your cleaning efforts more challenging than usual. Given that Dubai and the UAE experience occasional heavy rains, it's understandable to encounter moisture issues that can affect indoor environments. The persistent dampness might be due to a few reasons: 1. Inadequate ventilation: Ensuring proper air circulation is crucial in preventing moisture buildup. 2. Poor sealing of windows or doors: Leaks from external water sources could seep into your room, causing the shelves to become damp. 3. Structural issues: If the closet walls are leaking or improperly insulated, this can lead to persistent dampness. To effectively address the issue and prevent future problems: • Use a high-quality cleaner suitable for damp areas; a product with mildewcidal properties may be necessary if mold is present • Consider using a dehumidifier to reduce moisture levels in your closet • Ensure good air flow by opening windows or using exhaust fans when possible If you've tried these methods and the shelves are still covered in stubborn dust, it might be time to seek professional help.
