I'm renting an apartment and noticed cleaning staff in the bathroom. Is this the landlord's responsibility to fix? I'm not sure what my rights are here.

Cleaning staff can certainly have an impact on the health of your family. In dubai/uae, there's no strict regulation that mandates cleaning staff to be present in bathrooms but it’s common practice for landlords or building management to ensure cleanliness. However, this does not absolve you from knowing how these practices might affect your family's wellbeing.
Firstly, the choice and use of cleaning products are crucial. Some chemicals can be harmful if not used correctly. For instance, bleach and ammonia should never be mixed as they create a toxic gas. If you notice any harsh smells or irritation after the staff clean, it could indicate improper handling of chemicals. You might want to take this up with your landlord or management team. Secondly, ensure that the cleaning process does not cause dust or mold growth. Dust can trigger allergies and respiratory issues, especially for family members with asthma or other sensitivities. Mold, on the other hand, is a serious health concern as it can produce spores that can lead to respiratory problems and allergic reactions. It’s always wise to request a professional indoor air quality inspection if you are concerned about your family's health. At Saniservice, we offer such services where our experts will check for pollutants, humidity levels, and overall cleanliness. We can also advise on proper cleaning practices to ensure the environment is safe and healthy. Remember, it’s not just about immediate health issues but also long-term effects that could arise from poor indoor environments. If you’re uncomfortable with the current situation or if you suspect any potential risks, it might be best to have a conversation with your landlord about setting up some guidelines for cleaning practices. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how we can assist you in ensuring the safety and health of your family. |
