Should I worry about mold in my bedroom closet?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, you should be concerned about mold in your bedroom closet. Mold can certainly cause health issues like coughing and other respiratory symptoms especially in children. The UAE has strict regulations regarding indoor air quality, particularly in residential areas where the presence of mold can impact residents' health significantly.

In Dubai/UAE, the Environmental Health Regulations mandate that all buildings must maintain a safe environment free from pollutants including mold. This is to ensure compliance with the law and protect public health. Given your symptoms and concerns about dampness, it’s highly advisable to have a professional inspection done as soon as possible. Our company offers comprehensive mold testing services using state-of-the-art equipment to identify any hidden growth.

To prevent mold recurrence in your closet:
1. Ensure proper ventilation. Use dehumidifiers or open windows if the weather permits to reduce moisture levels.
2. Keep humidity below 60%. Consider installing a hygrometer to monitor indoor humidity constantly.
3. Address any leaks promptly. Water damage from pipes, roofs, or even condensation can encourage mold growth.
4. Clean regularly. Use a mild detergent and water solution to wipe down surfaces where mold may thrive.

Implementing these steps will greatly reduce the likelihood of future mold issues in your closet. However, if you notice persistent dampness despite efforts to control humidity, it might be time for a professional intervention. We recommend calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for an immediate inspection and remediation plan tailored to your specific situation.
