How To Remove Mould From Walls

Overview:

Mould is a fungal organism that thrives in dark, warm & moist environments with poor ventilation such as bathrooms & basements.

Mould removal products may be purchased from your hardware store, however I have recently had great success removing mould from our bedroom ceiling using the method below.

What you will need:

• 1 spray bottle
• Bleach
• Dishwashing detergent
• Bucket
• Sponge (with scourer)
• Eye goggles
• Rubber gloves

Safety:

• Always use rubber gloves, eye protection & a mask when removing mould & mildew.
• Always make sure rooms are well ventilated when using chemicals such as bleach.
• Don’t attempt to remove dry mildew with a brush. You will shower yourself with mould spores.

Remove mould from walls & tiles:

• Add around 1/5 cup  of bleach to a 500ml spray bottle & fill with warm water.
• Add a squirt of dishwashing liquid to a bucket of hot water.
• Using the spray bottle, spray the bleach solution onto the mildew.
• Leave for around 30 seconds & then using your sponge, wipe off.
• Clean sponge in bucket, wipe again until mould is gone.
