How to quickly test and remove mold safely for kids?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description of the black and green fuzzy patch and the persistent coughing in your children, it is highly likely you are dealing with a significant mold issue, a common problem in Dubai villas, especially after heavy rains which can cause water intrusion and exacerbate the already high humidity levels. For the health of your family, especially young children, immediate professional action is required.

Do not attempt to remove this yourself, as disturbing the mold can release a massive amount of spores and mycotoxins into the air, drastically worsening the indoor air quality and potentially causing more severe respiratory reactions.

The fastest and safest approach is a professional inspection and remediation process. A certified company like Saniservice will first conduct a comprehensive inspection, which includes air and surface sampling to identify the specific mold types and spore concentration levels. This scientific testing is crucial to understand the severity and to devise the correct remediation plan, which is performed in strict accordance with international guidelines (IICRC S520) and Dubai municipality standards for healthy and safe living environments.

The remediation process involves isolating the contaminated area with physical barriers and negative air pressure to prevent cross-contamination, safely removing the mold-infested materials, and then employing industrial-grade HEPA filtration and specialized antimicrobial treatments to clean the air and surfaces. For a family with children, we use child and pet-safe, non-toxic hygienization solutions. Finally, we identify and address the root cause—likely the residual moisture from the rains—to prevent recurrence.

Given the urgency with your children's health, I strongly recommend you contact professionals immediately. Call Saniservice at 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a prompt inspection and ensure the problem is resolved safely and permanently.
