How to quickly remove mold from AC and house?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, this is a serious situation requiring immediate professional attention. The fuzzy black and green growth on stored items is a clear indicator of active mold colonization, likely due to high humidity in that enclosed space. The coughing your children are experiencing at night is a classic symptom of mold spore exposure, which is being circulated throughout your home via the AC system, a common issue in Dubai's climate where AC units constantly recirculate air.

The fastest and safest method is not a simple cleaning but a comprehensive remediation protocol. Do not attempt to clean this yourself, as disturbing the mold will aerosolize a massive amount of spores, exacerbating the health risks and contaminating your entire duct system.

The correct procedure involves:
1. Professional Inspection & Testing: A certified mold inspector must conduct a thorough assessment, including air quality testing inside the AC ducts and the living areas, to identify all contamination sources and species present (e.g., Stachybotrys - "black mold").
2. Containment & Source Removal: The affected storage area must be sealed with physical barriers and negative air pressure machines to prevent cross-contamination. All porous contaminated materials (clothes, shoes, cardboard boxes) must be professionally cleaned or bagged and discarded.
3. HVAC System Decontamination: This is critical. The entire AC system, including the evaporator coils, drip pans, plenums, and ductwork, must be professionally cleaned and treated with EPA-approved antimicrobial agents. Simply cleaning the vents is completely insufficient.
4. Hygienization: After removal, the underlying cause—likely condensation or a minor water intrusion—must be identified and repaired. The entire area must then be hygienized to eliminate residual spores.

Given the health symptoms and the AC involvement, this is an urgent matter. For a certified inspection and rapid remediation that complies with Dubai Municipality's public health guidelines, you must contact a specialist immediately.
