Should I worry about bedroom cleanliness?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in the bedroom closet, and when I opened the door, there were some cobwebs. The carpets feel a bit dirty too, even though they have been vacuumed regularly. Is it common for hotels to have these issues and should I be concerned about my home being cleaned properly?

Absolutely understand your concerns about the cleanliness of hotel rooms and it’s quite common to encounter such issues post-rainfall in the UAE. In Dubai, as in many parts of the country, humidity can lead to moisture build-up which often results in mold growth and musty odors. This is especially true after a heavy rainfall like you experienced last month.

In hotels across the UAE, including Dubai, there are specific regulations that mandate regular cleaning and maintenance procedures to ensure high standards of cleanliness and hygiene. However, it's not uncommon for some areas, such as closets or under carpets, to sometimes not meet these expectations due to human error or unforeseen circumstances like the rain you mentioned.

It’s important to note that even with regular vacuuming, certain areas may still accumulate dirt or dust. This is particularly true in rooms where guests spend most of their time, like bedrooms, which can have limited air circulation and a high level of moisture from humidity and rainfall.

If you're worried about the cleanliness of your home being handled properly, it's advisable to request a thorough inspection by professional cleaning staff or consider having an independent service provider review the work done. In Dubai, companies such as Saniservice are well-known for their expertise in this area. You can reach out to them via phone at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

To address the specific issues you noted—musty smells and cobwebs—consider asking the hotel's maintenance team for a deep clean of affected areas. Ensure that any carpets are thoroughly cleaned and dried to prevent mold growth. Additionally, using dehumidifiers can help reduce moisture levels in rooms and thus minimize the chances of mold developing.

Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for your health and well-being. If you notice persistent issues or if the smell continues, it might be best to consult a professional to ensure everything is handled correctly. Don't hesitate to take action; after all, your comfort and safety are paramount.
