How can I remove bedroom mildew naturally?« Back to Previous Page

Hello there! I've faced similar issues after the heavy rain we had last month. The musty smell and damp patches are common complaints in Dubai during such weather changes. Here's a practical approach to tackle this problem:

First, it’s important to address any water ingress that might be causing these conditions. Make sure to check for any leaks or poor drainage near your bedroom windows or closet area. If you notice any, contact a professional building services company to rectify the issue. In Dubai and UAE in general, local laws like Federal Decree Law No. 15 of 1982 on Building Construction and Regulation could apply here, ensuring that buildings are properly maintained.

To naturally clean mildew, you can use baking soda and vinegar, which are effective and environmentally friendly options. For the affected walls, start by lightly scrubbing with a mixture of water and white vinegar or a solution made from baking soda and water. This should help to loosen up and remove mildew spores. Then, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.

For those pesky curtains, hang them outside in direct sunlight for at least an hour before washing them. Sunlight is a natural disinfectant that can kill bacteria and fungi. Be sure to use the correct detergent; opt for one that's eco-friendly if you're looking to keep it green.

To prevent mildew from reoccurring, ensure good ventilation in your bedroom. In Dubai, where air conditioning can be heavy on energy consumption, consider using a dehumidifier or a fan during humid days. This will help reduce the moisture levels and inhibit fungal growth.

If the problem persists despite these measures, it might be time to call for professional inspection.
