Let’s face it, mould is UGLY! And it can be pose significant health risks too!
The natural thing to want to do when you see mould is to clean it off. But before you jump right in, there are some things you should know.
One of the WORST possible things you can do is clean mould with bleach or chemicals. There are a number of reasons for this:
1) Contrary to popular belief, bleach does NOT kill mould. All it does is bleach the mould so you can no longer see it! The spores will continue to release and cause more damage.
2) Chemicals are highly toxic and can cause even more health issues, particularly to your lungs, respiratory system and skin.
3) Chemicals/bleach are non-specific, meaning anything that comes into contact with them may be harmed.
4) Chemicals/bleach are highly reactive and lose effectiveness within hours.
If you want to tackle the mould yourself and you are sure it is only on the surface, you can try cleaning it with a vinegar and water solution, making sure you wear gloves and a mask and use a microfibre cloth that you will throw away after use. However, this will likely only provide temporary relief.
The ONLY way to treat mould is to first find the source, and then remove it carefully so as not to release more spores into your environment.
