How to remove mold from bedroom in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

For a small patch (under one square foot) of surface mold, you can clean it yourself with a UAE-available product like Dettol Mold & Mildew Remover. Wear an N95 mask and gloves. Scrub the area, but more importantly, address the humidity source. Mold behind furniture is classic in Dubai from condensation build-up against cold exterior walls.

Move the wardrobe away from the wall to improve air circulation. Wipe down walls regularly to remove condensation, and consider using a dehumidifier in the room, especially during the more humid months.

Given that your children are coughing, this suggests potential airborne spores, making professional assessment wise. DIY cleaning can disturb a colony and increase spore release. A certified inspector can identify the mold type and moisture source with a thermal camera and take an air sample for lab analysis to confirm if it's a type known to cause respiratory irritation. This is a common household issue here due to our climate, and a proper diagnosis provides a clear remediation plan.
