Is bedroom mold making my kids cough in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and I suspect it's from the black spots I just found behind our bedroom wardrobe in Jumeirah Park. It's been so humid lately and I'm worried it's spreading. Should I just clean it with vinegar myself, or is this a job where I absolutely need to call a professional mold inspector?

Based on the symptoms you've described and the visible growth in Jumeirah Park, it is highly probable that the mold is contributing to your children's coughing. The black spots behind the wardrobe are a significant indicator of a moisture issue, which is a common problem in Dubai due to our high humidity levels, especially during summer, and the constant use of air conditioning which can lead to condensation in poorly ventilated areas.
Attempting to clean it yourself with vinegar is not recommended. DIY methods often address only the surface appearance and fail to eliminate the root cause of the moisture or the underlying fungal roots (hyphae). Disturbing the mold without proper containment can also aerosolize spores, significantly increasing their concentration in the air you breathe and potentially worsening respiratory symptoms. For the health of your family and the integrity of your property, a professional inspection is absolutely necessary. A certified mold inspector will conduct a comprehensive assessment that includes identifying the moisture source, assessing the extent of the contamination (often hidden within wall cavities), and performing air quality testing to determine spore concentration levels. This scientific approach is crucial for developing an effective remediation plan. Our teams at Saniservice are trained in these precise methodologies and adhere to UAE standards for environmental health and safety.
