What's the fastest way to remove mold from wardrobe?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing non-stop for the past few weeks and their allergies are going crazy. I finally pulled their wooden wardrobe away from the wall in our Deira apartment and found a huge patch of black mold growing on the back of it and the wall behind, probably from the humidity. I'm panicking that this is making them sick. What's the fastest and most effective way to get rid of this and make sure it doesn't come back?

The situation you've described in your Deira apartment is a serious health concern and requires immediate, professional attention. The persistent coughing and allergies are classic symptoms of mold exposure, particularly from the black mold (likely Stachybotrys chartarum) you've discovered. The combination of Dubai's high humidity, especially during summer months, and the year-round use of AC which can create cold surfaces prone to condensation, provides the perfect environment for this growth behind furniture.
For a situation of this severity, the fastest and most effective method is not a DIY solution. Disturbing the mold by cleaning it yourself will aerosolize millions of toxic spores, significantly worsening the air quality and your children's exposure. The proper protocol involves isolation, professional-grade antimicrobial application, and HEPA filtration. The fastest way to ensure complete removal and prevent recurrence is to engage a certified mold remediation company like Saniservice. Our process is technical and precise: we first establish containment with negative air pressure to prevent spore migration, then use EPA-approved antimicrobials to neutralize the mold colonies on both the wardrobe and the wall structure itself. The affected materials are then carefully removed and disposed of according to UAE waste management regulations. Crucially, we use industrial HEPA air scrubbers to purify the air and then identify and address the underlying moisture source—likely interstitial condensation—to guarantee it does not return. For the health of your family, I strongly recommend a professional inspection and remediation. Please do not attempt to clean this yourself. Call our experts immediately at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an urgent assessment. |
