Should I clean mold myself or hire a pro?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, a mold issue should be addressed seriously and efficiently. In the UAE, especially considering the climate and recent weather patterns like heavy rain, it’s crucial to act promptly. Mold growth in your living room near windows can indicate water intrusion or moisture issues that require attention.

Firstly, I recommend consulting with a professional environmental inspection company for assessment. This is particularly important as per local regulations in Dubai which mandate prompt action against mold and dampness. The UAE Environmental Health Regulation (2013) emphasizes the need to maintain indoor air quality free from contaminants like mold.

If you decide to tackle it yourself, start by identifying the source of moisture. Check for leaks or condensation around windows, plumbing, or other areas. Clean up visible mold using appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and masks. Use a mixture of water and detergent for scrubbing; bleach isn't recommended due to its corrosive nature on some surfaces.

However, given that you’ve seen significant growth over two years, it’s highly advisable to hire a professional service like Saniservice. Their expertise ensures the removal process is thorough, safe, and compliant with local codes. Expect costs ranging from AED 1000 to AED 3000 depending on the extent of contamination.

The call-to-action for your peace of mind: Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com today! They offer a comprehensive solution, not just cleaning but also recommending preventive measures and air quality testing if needed. Remember, a healthy indoor environment is vital in our climate; don’t let mold compromise it.

In terms of effort, DIY cleanup can be time-consuming and might miss critical areas, leading to potential health risks and re-growth. Professionals like Saniservice bring specialized equipment and experience that ensure the job gets done right the first time.
