How to safely remove wardrobe mold and who to call?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, this is a serious case that requires immediate and professional attention. The combination of the humid Dubai climate, the presence of black spots (which are highly likely to be Stachybotrys chartarum or another toxigenic species), and the health symptoms in your children indicate a significant indoor air quality issue.

Do not attempt to clean this yourself with bleach or store-bought solutions. Disturbing the mold without proper containment will aerosolize the spores, potentially worsening your children's respiratory issues and contaminating other areas of your home. The mold growth on the wall suggests a possible moisture issue from condensation from year-round AC use or a hidden leak, which must be identified and rectified first.

Your first call should be to your landlord. Under UAE tenancy law, the landlord is typically responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the property, which includes addressing the source of moisture that led to the mold growth (e.g., leaking pipes, inadequate insulation causing condensation). Inform them of the issue and your health concerns in writing.

Simultaneously, you must engage a professional mold inspection and remediation company like Saniservice. We conduct a comprehensive assessment, including moisture mapping and air quality testing, to identify all contaminated areas and the root moisture cause. Our certified technicians then execute the remediation under strict containment using industrial-grade HEPA filtration to safely remove the biomass and treat the area with professional-grade antimicrobials, ensuring it is eliminated for good.

For a proper assessment and to protect your family's health, I strongly recommend you contact our specialists immediately. Call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection.
