How to remove black mold in Dubai bedroom professionally?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a patch of black mold in the corner of our twins' bedroom, behind the wardrobe. The room always feels a bit damp, and ever since the humidity spiked a few weeks ago, my youngest has developed a persistent cough that won't go away. I'm really worried about their health. What's the best way to get this professionally cleaned and treated for good in Dubai?

The best approach is to start with a professional inspection to identify the moisture source, as simply cleaning visible mold is a temporary fix. In Dubai, the high humidity and constant AC use often cause condensation issues, especially on cold exterior walls behind furniture. A proper inspector will use a moisture meter to pinpoint the problem.
For treatment, the wardrobe must be moved to access the entire affected area. Professionals should then use HEPA-filtered vacuums and antimicrobial cleaners to remove the mold, not just bleach it. The wall will likely need a specialized treatment to prevent regrowth. Crucially, the root cause—such as a thermal bridge causing condensation or a minor leak—must be addressed. Given your child’s persistent cough, it’s strongly advised to have the mold identified. Some species common in humid climates can cause respiratory irritation. A company with its own microbiology lab can provide a precise identification, which informs the correct remediation protocol and gives you clarity on the health risk. After remediation, a post-test verifies the air quality is safe. For a long-term solution, consider using a dehumidifier in the room alongside your AC to better manage moisture levels. |
