How to professionally clean mold in Dubai affordably?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a bunch of black, fuzzy spots spreading along the corner of our master bedroom wall behind the wardrobe. It's been really humid lately and I think it might be from a small, hidden AC leak. What's the best way to get this professionally cleaned in Dubai without getting ripped off?

Black mould growth behind furniture is a common issue in Dubai due to high humidity and AC condensation. The first step is to identify and fix the moisture source—likely a small AC condensate leak or seepage from the external wall. Without addressing this, the mould will return quickly.
For a professional clean, avoid companies that just spray and wipe. A reputable provider will first conduct a moisture survey to pinpoint the leak's origin. The cleaning process itself should involve physical removal of the mouldy material (e.g., cutting out and replacing contaminated drywall or plaster) and HEPA vacuuming, not just applying a chemical that bleaches the surface. To avoid being overcharged, get multiple assessments. Any company worth hiring should explain their remediation plan clearly, including containment procedures to prevent spores from spreading to other rooms. They should also be able to provide before-and-after documentation, such as photos or air quality test results, to verify the job's effectiveness. Be wary of anyone who offers a permanent "guarantee" without fixing the moisture problem, as that's not realistic. For a case like yours, a full lab test may not be necessary if the moisture source is obvious and addressed. The key is a thorough physical clean-up of the affected area and ensuring the wall is completely dry before repairs. |
