How to treat mould safely & effectively.

As temperatures drop and heating is used more frequently, indoor environments can become the perfect breeding ground for mould. Condensation, poor ventilation, and moisture all contribute to its growth. While mould is unsightly, it can also pose health risks if left untreated particularly for those with existing respiratory conditions.

The good news is that mould doesn’t have to take over your space. With the right approach, it can be treated safely and effectively.

1. Treating small areas of mould

For minor patches of mould, a simple cleaning solution may be sufficient. Start by wiping or vacuuming the affected area to remove loose debris. Mix warm water with a small amount of washing-up liquid, then gently scrub the area. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow the surface to dry. This process may need to be repeated to achieve the best results.

2. Use an effective mould remover c

   For greater peace of mind, especially where mould is more established, using a dedicated mould and mildew remover is recommended. These products are specifically formulated to sanitise surfaces and kill mould, bacteria, yeast, and fungi at the source, helping to prevent regrowth. They’re quick and easy to use, but it’s important to always follow the instructions on the product label for safe and effective results.

   
   

3. Tackling larger, stubborn areas

   If mould is widespread, persistent, or difficult to access, professional intervention may be necessary. Specialist services can safely remove mould and address underlying causes such as excess moisture or poor ventilation, reducing the risk of it returning.

Taking early action is key. Whether you’re dealing with a small patch or a larger problem, choosing the right treatment helps protect both your space and the people using it.
