Should I handle mildew myself or call professionals?« Back to Previous Page

Hey there,

First off, it’s understandable that the smell of mildew is concerning. In Dubai and the UAE, indoor air quality can be quite challenging due to high humidity levels and occasional rainfall. Mildew growth can indeed spread quickly if left unchecked, especially in areas like your bedroom closet where moisture might accumulate.

Given the situation you're describing, I’d recommend calling in professionals for a thorough inspection and remediation. In the UAE, regulations around indoor environmental quality are stringent, so it’s crucial to ensure that any issues are handled correctly to avoid long-term damage or health concerns. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for expert assistance.

Handling mildew yourself could be tricky because it often requires a multi-step process including proper cleaning and drying techniques, removal of affected materials, and application of appropriate treatments. DIY methods might not cover all aspects needed to completely eradicate the problem, which can lead to recurring issues.

In Dubai, we’ve seen cases where initial attempts at DIY remediation have failed due to improper handling or lack of experience with local conditions. Professionals are equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools to address the issue effectively, ensuring that your space is safe and free from mold in the long run.

Additionally, it’s important to identify and rectify any underlying moisture issues such as leaking pipes or poor ventilation. This could involve checking your roof for leaks, ensuring proper drainage systems outside, and enhancing air circulation within your home.

Take care of this issue promptly to protect both your health and property. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need more guidance on how to proceed.

Cheers!
