How do you treat mould affected areas?

  • Don’t try to remove the mould by using a brush or vacuum cleaner as this releases spores into the air.
  • Before removing the mould you may want to use safety goggles, rubber gloves and a dust mask to cover your mouth and nose.
  • Carefully remove mould with a damp cloth and throw away afterwards.
  • Wipe down affected areas using a diluted bleach solution or fungicidal wash
  • following the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Dry-clean or thoroughly wash mildewed clothes and shampoo mouldy carpets.
  • After treating mould-affected areas, redecorate using a fungicidal paint.
