Need mold removal for kid's room in Dubai??« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing for the past couple of weeks and I’m worried it’s because of a black, fuzzy patch I found behind the wardrobe in their bedroom. We live in an older building in Deira and the room doesn’t get much sunlight, so it feels damp all the time. Can anyone recommend a reliable and safe mold removal company that uses kid-friendly, non-toxic treatments?

That black patch behind the wardrobe is a common issue in older Deira buildings, and your concern is valid. The combination of limited sunlight, high humidity, and year-round AC use creates a perfect environment for mold growth, which can definitely cause the respiratory irritation and coughing your kids are experiencing.
For a child's room, you need a company that prioritizes containment and non-toxic methods. Look for providers who use EPA-approved, plant-based biocides rather than harsh chemicals. The process should involve physically removing the moldy material, HEPA vacuuming the area, and then applying antimicrobial solutions. Crucially, they must set up proper containment with negative air pressure to prevent spores from spreading to other parts of your home during removal. Any reputable company will be transparent about their methods and should offer a post-remediation verification test. This is a separate air quality test conducted after cleanup to confirm spore counts are back to normal, safe levels. This is your proof that the job was done correctly. Given the persistent dampness, the root cause also needs to be addressed. A proper inspection can determine if this is due to a plumbing leak, condensation from an AC unit, or rising damp from the building's structure. Without solving the moisture source, the mold will almost certainly return, regardless of the cleaning. |
