Should I clean the mold behind kitchen cabinets?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent mold patch forming behind the kitchen cabinets. My roommates seem pretty busy with work and don’t always clean up after themselves in common areas like the living room or balcony. Should I bring this to their attention or is it something they are responsible for cleaning?

Cleaning mold behind kitchen cabinets is definitely something that should be addressed promptly. Mold growth can pose health risks and impact the indoor air quality of your home, especially in a place like Dubai where humidity levels might vary due to climate changes.
In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, it's important to adhere to local building standards and regulations for maintaining good indoor environmental quality (IEQ). The UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment has guidelines that recommend regular inspections and maintenance to prevent such issues. However, as a general rule, shared spaces like kitchens are typically the responsibility of all residents or occupants. Given your situation, you should probably bring this matter to your roommates' attention. It's crucial for everyone to be aware of potential health hazards and cooperate in maintaining a clean environment. You could suggest setting up a cleaning schedule that includes mold checks and removals, which is especially important after rain or high humidity events like the ones we might experience here. If you're unsure about how to proceed or if the mold growth seems extensive, it’s advisable to seek professional help. Saniservice can provide expert inspection services and remediation solutions.
