Is mold in hotel bathrooms harmful to kids?

Absolutely. Mold exposure can have serious health effects on children, especially if they are more prone to respiratory issues like allergies or asthma. In Dubai and the UAE, we're no strangers to humidity and rainfall, which can lead to the growth of mold—like the one you mentioned in your Sheraton Dubai Mall of the World hotel room.

In the UAE, particularly in areas that experience significant climatic changes like post-rain conditions, it's crucial for hotels to maintain a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene. The presence of mold not only affects the comfort but can also trigger allergic reactions or exacerbate existing health issues among guests, especially children who are more sensitive.

If you're noticing coughing in your kids since their frequent stays at this hotel, it might be worth checking if there's any mold present. Mold spores can easily become airborne and inhaled, causing respiratory irritation, coughs, and other symptoms that could worsen over time.

I'd strongly recommend contacting the hotel management to address this issue. You may also want to consider getting a professional inspection done to ensure that the problem is identified and addressed properly. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice are well-versed in such matters and can offer comprehensive solutions.

Remember to keep an eye on your kids' health closely and perhaps consult with a pediatrician if you suspect mold exposure could be causing their symptoms. Meanwhile, try to avoid staying in the bathroom corners or areas where mold might grow and ensure that windows and doors are properly sealed during rainy periods.
