How to Clean and Prevent Mould from Appearing

Flooding and pipe leakage are the best way to provide the mould with the ideal environment to grow. Be careful and after every big home renovation make sure to properly clean and disinfect your home.
If you are renovating and painting your home considers using mould inhibitors before placing the paint. Do not paint mouldy surfaces and always make sure that everything is cleaned properly afterwards.
It is important not to leave wet surfaces and tiles. Water is the fungi’s best friend, that is why you should carefully clean and wipe all the moist.
Try to provide a fresh airflow in your home. Ventilate all the rooms where water condensation may happen - bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms.
Stay aware of the humidity levels in your home. If they are above 50 there is a good chance you have a mould colony hidden somewhere in your house.
You should never mix bleach with other home cleaning detergents. This will result in the creation of toxic fumes. Always wear a mask when dealing with chlorine or ammonia-based substances and follow carefully the instructions on the bottles.
