Can cleaning luxury affect my family's health?« Back to Previous Page

We've been in our Dubai villa for about a year now and I just discovered what looks like cleaning luxury behind some furniture. Is this dangerous and do I need to move out during treatment?

Cleaning luxury can indeed have some impact on your family's health, but it’s important to understand that the effects depend largely on what "cleaning luxury" entails and how it was treated. In Dubai and UAE, certain substances used for cleaning purposes must comply with local regulations which are generally in line with international standards.

If you’ve noticed something behind furniture that resembles a form of 'cleaning luxury'—this might be referring to mold or mildew. Mold can grow in damp areas and is a common issue in the humid climate of Dubai. If left unchecked, mold can release spores into the air which could cause respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems for your family.

The first step would be to have a professional inspection done by a company like Saniservice who are experienced with such cases in the UAE. They can properly identify what it is and suggest safe removal methods. If you're unsure or the substance looks suspicious, don’t try to clean it yourself. Many DIY solutions might not effectively remove the issue and could even spread the mold further.

Typically, professional remediation involves a thorough cleaning process followed by dehumidification and sometimes air purification systems. For your safety and that of your family, it’s best to vacate during treatment but this is optional based on the severity and type of substance found. Always ensure any contractor you hire has experience in dealing with such issues and that they follow all necessary precautions.

Saniservice can be reached at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. They will guide you through the process and ensure your home is safe again as soon as possible.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality in Dubai involves regular checks for dampness and mold growth. Keeping areas well-ventilated and using dehumidifiers where necessary can help prevent such issues from arising. Stay proactive about your indoor environment to keep you and your family healthy!
