Astonish makes a mould remover in a green bottle with a blue trigger. I've used this on painted walls with no problems. Spray on, leave it for 10 minutes, and the mould disappears without needing much, if any, wiping.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user FortunaMajor) If you’re cleaning mould yourself, remember to read and follow the instructions on the label carefully. And never mix dangerous chemicals, such as bleach and ammonia, as these can produce toxic fumes. How do I get rid of mould? Condensation: Condensation happens when warm air collides with a cold surface. You will usually find signs of this around your windows, even in your bedroom, which can cause mould to grow along the frame.Mould is a fungus made up of microscopic spores that flourish in damp, humid conditions. It breaks down organic material, especially in porous surfaces such as wallpaper, paint, wood and fabric. It is important to remember that mould is common in homes but won’t go away on its own. Instead, it will continue to spread and grow until you remove it.

Dettol Mould and Mildew [Remover] is amazing. If that doesn't work, you have real issues!” (Tried and trusted by Mumsnetter peachgreen) Our verdict We were genuinely impressed by the results, not only because of the price point but because it can be used in a wide range of settings. Another bonus is that its delicate apple scent offered a refreshing change from harsher chemical smells you often get with these products. Astonish comes with eco credentials, too, as it’s cruelty-free, vegan-friendly and the bottle can be recycled. Keep your home ventilated: Open windows as much as possible to let air flow in and moisture out. Place lids on pans when you’re cooking in the kitchen. Turn on extractor fans when cooking. Turn on the fan before you shower and leave it on afterwards (for 10-15 minutes).Cillit Bang Mould Spray is brilliant - spray it on, wipe it off. Just done our bathroom with moulds up easily as there's no extractor fan." (Tried and trusted by threepiecesuite) Our verdict Controlling the humidity levels is a great place to start. A dehumidifier is a must-have investment if you don’t already have one. One of the reasons it’s so potent is that it contains powerful chemicals to help kill the mould for good. However, they are also dangerous, so ensure you read the label before use, patch test surfaces, ventilate the area well, and wear gloves, goggles and old clothes. From mould in your best washing machine's gasket to stains to stains in the grout around your shower, HG Mould Spray is a targeted, one-size-fits-all solution for your home. How regularly will I use the product? A milder product would be more suitable if you plan to incorporate it into your regular cleaning routine, while a high-strength remover is more suited to occasional scrubbing. Allergenic and Pathogenic mould groups are low risk, though they can still cause health issues. Toxic moulds are, as you might guess, high risk.

How often will you use it? Powerful mould removers are great for immediate treatments, but if you’ve solved the underlying issue and it is about prevention, a milder mould remover may be best. Using a dehumidifier: Dr Andy Whittamore, an in-house GP at Asthma UK, says, “Some people find that dehumidifiers help to dry the air and prevent damp and mould. But you must get the setting right, or they can leave the air too dry and make you cough.” Dehumidifiers can remove excess moisture in the air, which can help stop mould from spreading and ultimately prevent it from returning. Dry your clothes outside: Wet washing can add extra moisture to your home, which is the perfect breeding ground for mould. If you need to dry your washing inside, avoid putting it on radiators, and open a window.For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.

Who lives in your household? If you have pets or children, consider where you are using it carefully and guard against accidental ingestion. Guidelines will typically recommend wearing protective gloves as a minimum during application, with stronger products often suggesting the use of a protective mask to prevent inhalation. Most brands advise customers to open a window while using the product to increase ventilation in the space. If you're not in too much of a hurry, there’s a product called Wet & Forget which you dilute and apply with a garden sprayer. It’s a fungicide which is activated by the weather. It will gently remove moss and mould without the aggressive action of a pressure washer.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user rslsys) Our verdictHair can easily ruin your washing machine, clumping up and clogging the mechanisms. Vamoosh claims to dissolve hair – and says it’s the only cleaner to do so – so this product is a no-brainer for pet owners or those with long (human) hair. Vamoosh uses active oxygen to break down the keratin in hair, making it dissolve before washing away: just add the sachet’s powdered contents to the dispenser drawer, then run the empty machine on its longest, hottest cycle, which is usually between 85° and 95°C. There are more than 100,000 documented species of mould, and they are categorised into three ‘classes’ based on risk. Apply the mould removal product to the area. Leave it on for the product’s specified amount of time: this can vary from a few minutes to up to half an hour.
