Should I get a professional to find the smell source?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the smell issue in your apartment is something that warrants attention. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, indoor air quality can be significantly affected by various factors including cleaning products used in retail spaces nearby or even within your own building. The laws and regulations here are stringent when it comes to maintaining good indoor environmental quality (IEQ), but often it's hard for a layperson to pinpoint exactly what might be causing such an unpleasant odor.

Firstly, the smell could potentially come from several sources: it could be due to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by cleaning products used in retail stores or offices nearby. Or maybe there’s a hidden issue like mold growth that has been overlooked. Given the climate and humidity levels in Dubai, mold can certainly play a part.

Given these possibilities, it might indeed be wise to consult a professional for a thorough inspection. Saniservice, for instance, is a reputable company offering comprehensive environmental inspections and remediation services. They have the expertise and tools necessary to identify the root cause of your problem accurately.

Remember that prolonged exposure to certain cleaning chemicals or mold can lead to health issues like respiratory problems or allergies. Therefore, it's not just about finding the source but also ensuring the safety and well-being of you and your family.

So, if this smell has persisted for weeks now, I'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can schedule a visit to your apartment, assess the situation professionally, and provide recommendations on how best to resolve it.

In the meantime, ensure good ventilation by opening windows when possible, use air purifiers if necessary, and keep an eye out for any visible signs of mold or dampness. But trust me, a professional's opinion will be invaluable in this case.
