Hey there! First off, kudos to your building maintenance team for their proactive approach. Finding cleaning smart (CS) in another unit can be concerning, but let's break down what you should know and do next.

Cleaning smart is a term used to describe the presence of certain chemicals or substances that indicate previous cleaning or remediation activities. In the UAE context, these could be related to mold remediation products, which are commonly used during indoor environmental assessments and clean-ups in buildings like yours.

In Dubai, as per the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines and local building codes, it's crucial to ensure any chemical use is appropriate and doesn't pose health risks. Given this scenario, here’s what you should consider:

First off, don’t panic! Most cleaning smart substances are safe, but there might be a need for professional evaluation if the area is near your unit or if you have concerns about air quality.

You can start by ensuring that your apartment's ventilation system is functioning properly. Open windows and use fans to help circulate fresh air. If you notice any unusual smells, discoloration on surfaces, or signs of moisture, take note as these could be indicators of a potential issue worth investigating further.

Next step would be to contact Saniservice for a professional inspection. Our team can conduct a thorough evaluation to check if there’s any cross-contamination or if the neighboring unit's cleaning activities might have affected your space. We use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure our assessments are accurate.

Remember, staying informed is key. Keep an eye out for any changes in your environment that could suggest something isn’t right. And if you ever feel unwell or smell something off, don't hesitate to reach out for assistance.
