How urgent is addressing kitchen cabinet mold?« Back to Previous Page

Addressing the mold growth in your kitchen cabinets at the mall is quite urgent, especially considering customer complaints about the musty smell. Mold can pose serious health risks and may lead to respiratory issues, particularly for individuals who are sensitive or allergic. In Dubai/UAE, we’re often dealing with high humidity levels which can exacerbate mold issues.

Firstly, do not attempt to clean up the mold yourself unless you have the proper protective equipment and knowledge. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and mold remediation. The Environmental Health Authority (EHA) of Dubai may also have guidelines that apply here.

I would strongly recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com to schedule a professional inspection right away. A trained inspector will be able to assess the extent of the mold, determine if there’s any structural damage, and provide you with appropriate remediation steps.

While waiting for professional help, ensure that you do not touch or disturb the affected area as this could spread the spores further. Open windows (if weather permits) and use fans to improve air circulation in the space. This can help reduce mold growth temporarily but is no substitute for a proper solution.

Once remediation begins, make sure it’s done by licensed professionals who will properly clean, disinfect, and possibly replace any affected materials. They should also take steps to prevent future mold growth, such as addressing any underlying moisture issues in the kitchen area.

Remember, customer satisfaction is key in running your boutique, so ensuring a healthy environment for both you and your customers should be top priority. Act now to avoid any further complications or negative impacts on your business operations.
