Is unpleasant odor from carpet common after Dubai renovations?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent renovation of our master bedroom suite, we’ve noticed an unpleasant odor coming from the carpeted area by the window. It’s been there for a couple of weeks now, but it’s only noticeable when someone opens the curtains or vacuums the floor. My family is starting to complain about feeling unwell after staying in that room. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with hotel cleaning standards in Dubai?

Yes, unpleasant odors from carpets can be quite common after renovations in Dubai. This is especially true given the climate and the types of materials used in both construction and furnishings here. In the UAE, particularly during the renovation process, moisture can seep into carpets and fabrics, creating an ideal environment for mold growth. The high humidity and temperature can cause these microorganisms to flourish, leading to that musty smell.

In Dubai, the building codes do require certain standards of indoor air quality (IAQ) post-renovation but it's not uncommon for some properties to fall short due to various reasons such as inadequate ventilation or improper cleaning practices. It is advisable to have a professional inspection done if you are experiencing persistent odors, especially in areas like your master bedroom suite.

Vacuuming and opening windows can sometimes help, but might be temporary solutions. If the problem persists, it’s best to call in experts who specialize in indoor environmental quality (IEQ) assessments. They can identify the source of the odor and recommend appropriate remediation measures.

I understand this situation is concerning for you and your family. It's important that everyone feels safe and comfortable during their stay at a hotel. If you're experiencing issues like feeling unwell after staying in the room, it could be related to poor air quality or other factors. A professional inspection can provide clarity and ensure any necessary steps are taken.
