Is cleaning behind furniture dangerous?« Back to Previous Page

We've been in our Dubai villa for about a year now and I just discovered what looks like cleaning new behind some furniture. Is this dangerous and do I need to move out during treatment?

Cleaning behind furniture can indeed be a tricky affair especially in the context of an UAE property like your Dubai villa. Dust, dirt, and even mildew are common culprits that can accumulate there. However, it's important to note that simply discovering some cleaning "new" behind furniture isn't necessarily dangerous – unless you find something alarming such as mold or asbestos fibers.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, regulations like the Building Code (UAE-BC) and Environmental Health Standards are in place to ensure the quality of living environments. These codes do not specifically mention cleaning behind furniture but they do emphasize cleanliness and hygiene standards which indirectly apply here.

If you're unsure about what exactly you've found or if it seems unusual, a professional inspection is recommended. Companies like Saniservice can perform these inspections for you. They are well-versed in identifying potential hazards such as mold, pests, or other issues that could arise from cleaning behind furniture.

In case of any concerns, always err on the side of caution. If there's an indication of mold growth, it’s crucial to address this promptly. Mold can be harmful if not properly managed; it produces allergens and spores which can irritate the eyes, nose, throat, or lungs, especially in individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions.

If you do find something that looks suspicious, don't panic but take action. Contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional assessment and remediation if necessary. They can help ensure your safety while addressing any potential issues effectively.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is key to a healthy living environment. Regular cleaning practices combined with periodic inspections can go a long way in keeping your villa in top shape. So, keep up the good work on your cleaning efforts and don't hesitate to seek professional advice when needed.
