Is mold causing our symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy dust storm we had last month, I’ve noticed a persistent musty smell in the living room. The AC unit seems to be circulating this smell around the entire apartment. My kids have been coughing more frequently lately, and it’s making me wonder if there might be mold or something else causing these symptoms. Could this be related to our home's cleaning habits? What should I check for, and how can we improve our cleaning routine to address potential health issues?

Yes, mold could be the culprit for your symptoms. In dubai, we've seen an increase in mold-related issues due to high humidity levels and recent heavy dust storms like the one you experienced last month. Mold spores can easily spread through your AC system, leading to a musty smell and causing respiratory issues among family members.

Firstly, you need to check for visible signs of mold around your home. Look out for any discoloration on walls, ceilings, or around windows that might indicate moisture buildup. Also, inspect areas with high humidity such as bathrooms and kitchens for signs of dampness or condensation.

A proactive approach would be to improve your cleaning routine. Start by thoroughly cleaning all surfaces with a solution of water and vinegar, which can kill mold spores. Use a dehumidifier in areas prone to moisture like the bathroom and kitchen to control humidity levels and prevent mold from growing. Regularly clean and replace filters in your AC units as well.

However, if you notice persistent issues or find visible signs of mold, it’s advisable to call for professional inspection. In dubai, companies like saniservice are equipped with state-of-the-art tools to identify and remediate mold issues efficiently. Their experts can provide a thorough assessment of the situation and recommend appropriate cleaning solutions or remediation steps.
