Should I worry about contamination in my unit?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's understandable to be concerned about potential contamination. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, indoor environmental quality is of paramount importance due to our climate and building practices. When you hear that "cleaning new" was found in a neighboring apartment, it’s important to assess your own space for precautionary reasons.

Firstly, cleanliness and sanitation are regulated by the Emirates Building Code (EBC) which mandates regular maintenance checks. However, just because cleaning has been done elsewhere doesn't necessarily mean your unit is at risk. Nevertheless, it's always prudent to ensure everything is in check.

You should definitely consider having a professional inspection carried out if you're worried or unsure. In Dubai, we have several reputable companies that offer environmental testing and remediation services. These experts can conduct thorough assessments using equipment and methodologies approved by local health authorities.

Remember, some common contaminants include mold, dust mites, and allergens which can be present in any building regardless of the age or maintenance status. If you notice any unusual odors, discoloration on walls or ceilings, or if your family members are experiencing respiratory issues, it's wise to act swiftly.

In case you decide not to go for a professional assessment, there are still steps you can take:
1. Regularly clean and vacuum your unit thoroughly.
2. Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows when possible.
3. Use air purifiers with HEPA filters if necessary.
4. Check for signs of water damage which could lead to mold growth.
