Could musty smells and carpet issues cause health problems?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, musty smells and carpet issues can indeed lead to health concerns. In Dubai and UAE, the climate is particularly humid which makes such conditions more common especially during summer months. When a closet or carpets have that musty smell, it's often due to mold growth - especially in areas with poor ventilation.

Mold spores are airborne and can be breathed in causing allergic reactions, respiratory issues, coughing, sneezing, and even aggravate asthma symptoms. Since your kids have been complaining more about their health, there might be a link between the mustiness at home and their discomfort.

To address this issue, you should consider getting a professional inspection from a reputable company like Saniservice. They can assess the extent of mold contamination and provide appropriate remediation services. In UAE, it's also important to adhere to local building regulations regarding indoor air quality which might include specific standards for moisture levels in carpets or other furnishings.

In the meantime, you could take some steps yourself:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows if possible
• Use dehumidifiers to lower humidity
• Clean and dry any damp areas thoroughly
• Ensure proper airflow under and around furniture
• Regularly inspect and clean your air conditioning systems

Remember to address these issues as soon as possible. The longer mold is left unchecked, the more it can spread and cause discomfort. If you find this difficult or if health concerns persist, please do not hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional assistance.
