Should I clean mold DIY or hire professionals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rains last month, I noticed some mold starting to grow around the base of my bedroom windows. The AC in my apartment seems to be struggling too, and it’s making a weird noise that sounds like it could be related. Given our location in Dubai and the recent weather changes, should I consider hiring professionals for deep cleaning or is there a DIY solution that would work?

Absolutely, when it comes to dealing with mold in Dubai and the UAE, especially after heavy rains like we've had recently, you'd be wise to give serious thought to hiring professionals for a deep clean. Mold can pose health risks and might even weaken your building's structure over time. The UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality, and ensuring compliance is crucial.
Given that the mold is starting around your bedroom windows, it could indicate a moisture issue or an inadequate drainage system nearby. This needs to be properly addressed to prevent future growth. Meanwhile, the AC making unusual noises might hint at a serious problem like compressor failure or refrigerant leakage – both issues require immediate attention and cannot be fixed by DIY methods. DIY cleaning of mold can sometimes do more harm than good if not done correctly. For instance, improper cleanup could spread spores around your home, leading to an even bigger mess. Furthermore, some molds in the UAE are particularly resistant to common household cleaners and may need specialized treatment. Saniservice.com offers professional mold remediation services that comply with all local regulations. Their team is well-equipped to handle such situations safely and effectively. They can also perform a thorough inspection to identify any underlying issues causing the mold growth, ensuring a long-term solution rather than just a temporary fix. If you do decide to clean up yourself as a short-term measure until professional help arrives, remember to wear protective gear like gloves, masks, and goggles. Use an appropriate antifungal cleaner and ensure proper ventilation by opening windows or using fans. But make sure not to scrub too hard which can damage the surface or spread spores. In any case, don’t delay in contacting a professional. Call 800-MOLDS today for a quick assessment and quote. The last thing you want is to wait until mold spreads further into your home or causes more extensive damage. |
