What steps can I take against mould in my home?

If your home has condensation, it is possible that mould can grow, often as black spots on your walls, ceilings, furnishings and even on clothes and toys.

To kill and remove the mould, regularly follow these steps:

  • Carefully remove excess mould with a simple cleaning solution using either:

o Washing up liquid with warm water

o White vinegar in a spray bottle (vinegar kills many types of mould

o Specialist mould remover Don’t mix cleaning products

  • Using rubber gloves, clean the affected area with a cloth and repeat if needed.
  • Throw disposable cloths away or wash reusable cloths on a hot cycle. Do not brush mould as this release’s spores into the air.
  • Allow the area to dry completely and keep the space well ventilated while drying.
  • Once the mould has been removed, redecorate using a good quality fungicidal / anti-mould paint.
