Should I clean ceiling mildew myself or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a mildew smell coming from the ceiling of my master bedroom. It’s concerning because we’ve only had this issue in one room, but it doesn’t seem to go away even after several rounds of cleaning. Should I hire professional cleaners for this or could it be handled with some extra effort?

Cleaning ceiling mildew yourself can be a doable task but might require more effort than anticipated. In dubai and the uae, humidity is one of our major concerns, leading to such issues as mildew growth. The first step should always be identifying why the mildew keeps coming back.
Start by checking if there's any water damage or leakage from the roof or nearby areas. Seal any leaks promptly with appropriate materials and consider using a dehumidifier in the affected room. This can reduce moisture levels significantly, making it harder for mildew to thrive. However, if you've tried all these measures but the smell persists, it’s probably time to call in professionals. In dubai, regulations require building owners to maintain indoor air quality and prevent such issues from worsening. By hiring a professional, you ensure that not only is your immediate problem addressed, but also any underlying causes are identified and fixed. I've seen cases where simple cleaning wasn't enough due to structural or moisture-related issues. Professionals will have the necessary equipment like thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden water damage and ensure no mold spores spread further. If you decide to proceed with hiring a professional, consider checking reviews and asking for references from previous clients. Here in dubai, companies like saniservice are well-known for their expertise in such matters. You can call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information on how they can help. Remember, while mildew might seem minor, it can lead to serious health issues if left unaddressed, especially with the high population of people with respiratory problems here in dubai. Keeping your home safe and healthy is paramount. |
