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 better behind some furniture. Is this dangerous and do I need to move out during treatment?

Cleaning behind furniture can be a bit of a challenge but is generally not dangerous. However, if you've noticed something unusual like mold growth or some other suspicious residue, it's important to assess the situation carefully.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we have specific regulations for handling indoor environmental concerns. If what you're seeing might indicate a serious issue such as mold, pests, or asbestos, it would be wise to contact a professional inspector who can give you an accurate assessment and provide guidance on how to proceed.

Remember that in Dubai, the building code requires regular inspection of properties, especially after significant renovations or when you notice unusual conditions. If this is your first time noticing such issues behind furniture, it could just be dust or dirt that accumulated over the year. But better safe than sorry—call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional consultation.

When addressing any potential issue, here are some tips:
• Take pictures of what you're seeing and document your observations
• Ensure proper ventilation when cleaning to avoid inhaling dust or other particles
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment like gloves and masks if necessary

If the situation turns out to be minor, regular cleaning with a damp cloth should suffice. However, if professional intervention is needed, don't hesitate to seek expert help. Your health and safety are paramount, so let's ensure everything under your furniture checks out.

Always prioritize caution, especially in such important matters as indoor environmental quality. If you feel unsure about the situation or if it seems worse than just a bit of dirt, reaching out for professional advice is always recommended.
