Mould
Mould is a small fungus that thrives on damp areas in your home – especially wallpaper, furniture and clothing. The best way of tackling mould is to reduce the condensation levels and prevent it from growing.
Dampness from condensation often causes the growth of black mould on walls and other cold surfaces such as tiles. Mould and mildew can also grow on furnishings, curtains and even clothes in wardrobes. It may first appear in corners or behind cupboards, but it can spread across entire walls. Mould can spoil wallpaper and furnishings and can make your home unhealthy.
You can remove mould on washable surfaces by wiping down with detergents or mould removers. It can wash out of fabrics, but may leave stains or spoil colours.
