Fastest way to remove bedroom mold in Marina and prevent it?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and I suspect it's from the black speckles I just found behind our bedroom wardrobe in Marina. I pulled it out to get a toy and the wall is covered in this fuzzy patch, and the room has felt damp for a while. What's the fastest way to get this professionally cleaned and make sure it doesn't come back?

Given your situation in Marina, the fast and correct approach is a professional remediation following UAE civil defense and DM guidelines. The black speckles indicate active growth, likely exacerbated by the high humidity and constant AC use common in Dubai, which creates condensation behind furniture. Do not attempt to clean it yourself, as improper methods can aerosolize spores, worsening the cough for your children.
The fastest professional method is a contained remediation. This involves isolating the area with negative air pressure, physically removing the contaminated porous materials (e.g., drywall), HEPA vacuuming all surfaces, and applying EPA-approved antimicrobial agents. For the dampness, a specialist will use a moisture meter to identify the source—likely condensation from the AC or a minor leak—and rectify it. To prevent recurrence, the climate demands specific solutions. After remediation, a professional application of a mold-resistant coating on the treated wall is essential. You must ensure your AC unit is serviced regularly to manage humidity levels and that the room has adequate airflow; avoid pushing wardrobes tightly against external walls. For a case involving health symptoms, a certified inspection and remediation are non-negotiable. I strongly recommend you contact Saniservice immediately. Their certified teams are experienced with Dubai's regulations and climate-specific challenges. They can provide a rapid response, a detailed report for your landlord if needed, and a warranty on their work.
