Professional needed for mold in Dubai bedroom?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a bunch of black spots behind our wardrobe in the master bedroom, which is right next to the bathroom. I tried wiping it with vinegar, but it came back in just a couple of days and the room still has a damp smell. Is this something I can handle myself with better cleaning products, or should I just call a professional mold removal company in Dubai, and what kind of cost am I looking at for a single room?

Based on your description, this is a case where professional mold remediation is strongly advised. The recurrence after cleaning with vinegar and the persistent damp smell are key indicators of an active, underlying moisture issue that a surface cleaning cannot resolve.
The black spots behind the wardrobe are likely Stachybotrys chartarum or another toxigenic species, given their rapid return. In Dubai's climate, the primary culprit is often condensation from year-round air conditioning. The wall shared with the bathroom is a high-risk area; hidden pipe leaks or insufficient waterproofing and ventilation are common causes, in violation of Dubai Municipality's building hygiene standards. Attempting DIY removal with stronger chemicals is ineffective and hazardous. Agitating the mold releases a high concentration of mycotoxins and spores into your living space, posing significant health risks. Proper remediation requires isolating the containment area with negative air pressure, using HEPA filtration scrubbers, and the application of professional-grade, UAE-approved biocides to treat the colony at its root. For a single room like your master bedroom, the cost for professional inspection and remediation with a company like Saniservice typically ranges from AED 1,500 to AED 3,500. This includes a comprehensive moisture assessment, full containment, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial application, and post-remediation verification to ensure the issue is resolved and will not return. Given the potential for hidden damage and health implications, I recommend you cease DIY efforts and call for a professional inspection.
