Could mold be causing my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

The musty smell and symptoms your kids are experiencing could indeed be related to mold growth. Mold spores can easily spread through the air and settle on toys and other items stored in a closet, causing allergic reactions such as itchy eyes and sneezing fits.

In the UAE, especially during seasons with high humidity, long-term exposure to mold can exacerbate respiratory issues and trigger allergies. The recent heavy rain might have created ideal conditions for mold proliferation within your home.

To accurately assess whether mold is the culprit, a professional inspection by an accredited company like Saniservice should be conducted. They are equipped with specialized equipment such as moisture meters, air quality testers, and thermal imaging cameras to identify areas of concern that may not be immediately visible. It's also important to note that in Dubai, there are regulations concerning mold remediation procedures to ensure the safety of residents.

If a mold issue is confirmed, it’s crucial to address it promptly. Saniservice can perform thorough cleaning and decontamination using approved biocides and drying techniques to prevent further health risks. Ensure all affected areas are properly dried out as moisture is essential for mold growth.

Preventative measures include regular inspections and maintenance of your home's ventilation system, controlling indoor humidity levels, and addressing any leaks or dampness immediately. Keeping the closet area well-ventilated could also help reduce moisture buildup.

Remember, it’s not just about cleaning; understanding and managing the environment to prevent future mold growth is key. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a consultation with Saniservice or reach out via email at hello@saniservice.com if you need further assistance.

By taking these steps, you can ensure a healthier living environment for your family and prevent similar issues in the future.
