Hello!

Do you get much mould in your home and how do you get rid of it?
We live in a very wet area and struggle with mould we recently purchased air purifiers and dehumidifiers because we’ve heard how sick it can make you. I don’t like to spray harsh chemicals so have tried tea tree aswell as vinegar and bicarb but it always seems to grow back quickly. Someone told me the only true way to get rid of it is to get professionals in and they use special vacuums to get it and the spores out.
Love to know what works for you.

  • Mould is bad for you. Very. And it’s allay really hard to get rid of. It’s not able how your clean, it’s about how your dry. Address the moisture first, get in the professionals, then hopefully you cab stay on top of it by keeping the humidity at bay! It’s hard!


  • Another idea is to find out what other people in the area are doing about the issue. It might be a problem that others also have to tackle in their homes. Sometimes shared knowledge can be a good thing. Maybe there are online community noticeboards and relevant pages in your area.


  • Depending on where you live it just might be a constant issue. When we briefly lived in Toowoomba it was a continuous battle. I always had the vinegar out. I’ll never own Whicker furniture or decor again. It was extremely common for homes to have mould there, and it would just end up on everything. I would turn a photo frame around and it would be there


  • I do not live in an area where this is an ongoing problem. We are able to stay on top of any issues with mould. I do know of others in different areas that have issues and indeed they have reached out to professionals for advice on the management of mould.


  • In what area’s do you have mould in your house ? It’s probably most important to address the moisture source, which could be a plumbing leak or bad insulation. I do think that it’s good that you bought purifiers and dehumidifiers. You could also use fans, make sure you open windows especially in damp and wet rooms and don’t dry your clothes in doors but outdoors. To remove mould you could use hydrogen peroxide. But when it’s extensive it may certainly be good to seek exert advise.
