Is cleaning luxury dangerous to stay with?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning luxury, also known as cleaning products containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other potentially harmful chemicals, can indeed pose some risks if improperly used or stored. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, indoor air quality is of significant concern due to factors like high humidity and use of air conditioning.

Firstly, it's important to understand that not all cleaning luxury products are dangerous; many have been reformulated to be safer for home environments. However, some older or poorly labelled products can contain substances that might irritate the eyes, skin, or respiratory system when used in confined spaces like a villa.

If you've noticed signs of such products behind your furniture and are concerned about potential health risks, it's best to have an environmental professional inspect the situation. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for indoor cleaning products but following local environmental guidelines is crucial.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you suspect a problem. They can provide a thorough assessment and recommend safe remediation procedures. Ensure that any treatment process adheres to the guidelines set by the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD) to minimize further exposure risks.

When dealing with potential contamination, always wear protective gear like gloves and masks. Proper ventilation is key during cleaning activities to reduce indoor air pollutants. Additionally, ensure your villa's HVAC system is regularly serviced to maintain optimal airflow.

Remember, the safety of you and your family comes first, so don't hesitate to seek professional advice if necessary.
