HOW TO REMOVE MOULD
Consult a professional if you have existing respiratory conditions like asthma, emphysema or chronic bronchitis, or if the affected area is large or caused by leaking sewage or other contaminated water.
Follow these steps to remove mould:
- Identify and fix the water/moisture problem.
- Open windows and doors to increase air
- circulation into the area you are cleaning up.
- Discard any porous material contaminated with mould (such as carpet, ceiling tiles etc). These items will need to be removed and wrapped before being discarded.
- Spray the affected area with undiluted white vinegar. Access difficult areas (corners) by applying the vinegar with a toothbrush. The vinegar will need time to work, so apply it and leave. In a few days clean up the area with soap/ detergent and water using a clean cloth or sponge.
- Alternatively, use 1.5 cups of household bleach to 4 litres of cold water. Apply the solution to the affected area. Leave for approximately 10 minutes and then rinse completely with hot water.
