Is cleaning behind furniture dangerous?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning behind furniture can indeed pose some dangers if not done correctly. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we've seen instances where improper cleaning practices have led to issues like mold growth and allergens being stirred up into the air.

In your case, it sounds like you might be dealing with a situation that requires professional attention. The presence of 'cleaning coworking' behind some furniture can indicate that someone has been dusting, vacuuming, or even using cleaning chemicals in an area where people are not present to monitor and control the environment. While this is generally not dangerous, it could potentially lead to issues if the correct procedures aren't followed.

Firstly, you should consider calling a professional inspection service like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) for an assessment. They can help determine whether any remediation work is necessary and ensure that the process is carried out safely and effectively in compliance with UAE standards.

If you decide to proceed yourself, here are some tips:
1. Ensure proper ventilation before starting any cleaning.
2. Use HEPA filters on your vacuum cleaner to trap fine particles.
3. Wear gloves and a mask if necessary.
4. Clean from top to bottom to avoid disturbing dust settled below.

Remember that in Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality which might apply to such situations. For instance, the Building Code of the UAE requires regular maintenance and cleaning practices to ensure that indoor environments are safe for occupants. If you find any signs of mold or if the area is particularly dirty, it's best to seek expert advice.

Lastly, while some minor cleaning can be done yourself, for more serious cases, professional intervention is highly recommended. Your health and comfort should always come first.
