Mould in Dubai Apartments: Causes and How to Get Rid of It

Why mould appears in Dubai

High air humidity (especially summer 70-90%). Poor ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens. Condensation on cold surfaces near AC units. Leaks that were not fixed promptly.

Where mould most commonly appears

  • Bathroom corners and behind the toilet
  • Silicone seals around bath and shower
  • Kitchen ceiling above the hob
  • Walls behind the fridge
  • Window sills and reveals

How to remove mould yourself

Surface mould: 1:10 bleach solution or specialist anti-mould spray. Apply, leave 30 minutes, rinse. Repeat after a week. Deep mould in plaster or drywall — affected material must be removed.

How to prevent mould

Ventilate the bathroom after every use. Check the extractor fan works. Do not dry laundry in closed rooms. Fix all leaks immediately. Keep temperature at 22-24°C — reduces condensation formation.
