Where to get moldy jackets professionally cleaned in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in our bedroom closet has been leaking a bit for the past couple of weeks, and I just pulled out my winter jackets to find several of them covered in black, fuzzy spots. We’re in a villa in Mirdif and the humidity has been brutal lately. What’s the fastest way to get this professionally cleaned and treated before it spreads to everything else?

The black fuzzy spots on your jackets are likely active mold growth, fueled by the AC leak and high Mirdif humidity. For valuable items like winter jackets, professional cleaning is essential to prevent permanent damage and spore spread.

Specialized dry cleaners that handle mold-affected textiles are your best option. Look for providers experienced with microbial contamination, as standard cleaning may not kill the spores. The process typically involves an anti-microbial treatment followed by specialized cleaning. Before proceeding, inform them the items are mold-damaged so they can take appropriate precautions.

Address the source immediately. The AC leak is creating a persistent moisture problem. Turn off the unit, contain the water, and have an HVAC technician repair the leak. The closet itself will need inspection and likely professional cleaning to remove any hidden mold in the walls or on surfaces, preventing recurrence.

For severe cases where mold has spread behind walls from a long-term leak, a professional assessment is wise. Companies with in-house microbiology labs can identify the mold type and recommend a targeted remediation plan, which is crucial for ensuring the problem is fully resolved in Dubai's challenging climate.
