Building management or cleaner for mold in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a bunch of black spots spreading in the corner of our master bedroom closet, behind all the clothes. It's on the wall that faces the outside, and the room always feels a bit damp even with the AC on. What's the best way to handle this in Dubai – should I call the building management first or just get a professional cleaning company to deal with it myself?

Contact building management first—this is typically their responsibility under Dubai regulations, especially since it's on an external wall and suggests a possible leak or insulation issue from common areas. They should inspect and address the root cause, like seepage or condensation from AC ducts.
While waiting, move clothes away from the wall and improve air circulation; a portable dehumidifier can help reduce dampness. If management is slow or denies responsibility, a professional inspection can identify the mold type and source. In Dubai's climate, indoor mold often stems from high humidity and AC systems that aren't maintaining dry conditions. For serious spread or health concerns, a certified remediation company can handle removal and apply antimicrobial coatings, but only after the moisture source is fixed. Without solving the leak or humidity issue, mold will return quickly. |
