The Importance of Cleaning Mould
 Cleaning mould isn’t a task anyone looks forward to. It’s unsightly, smelly and often very difficult to clean. Even worse, very often mould growth is hidden behind walls and furniture, which makes it more difficult, or impossible, to clean.
Why is cleaning mould from wherever it grows so important?
Mould spores are everywhere: outside in the atmosphere and inside, all around your home or workplace. Fortunately, mould spores don’t occur is large enough quantities to be a concern. Unless they find a damp, dark place to settle and germinate, then they can become destructive in a number of ways:
- Your Health – Mould is an asthma and allergy trigger, it causes eye, nose and throat irritation and people with weak immune systems face the threat of systemic fungal infections if exposed to high levels of mould
- Your Belongings – In addition to the its foul, musty odour, mould can discolour your belongings and destroy the fabric of your clothes or furniture
- The Structure of Your Home or Commercial Building – mould feeds on organic matter, including wood and is a major cause of wood rot.
Procedures for Cleaning Mould
Use Caution: you should always use caution in the cleaning and removal of mould and only clean surface mould that is not extensive in growth.
- Disturb the mould growth as little as possible to minimize the amount of harmful spores released into the air.
- Household detergents can be used to clean small, surface only mould growth on walls and other hard surfaces
- Furniture and clothing – If items can be put into a washing machine, that will take care of most mould growth. If not, you should have items professionally cleaned.
No matter how hard you try, cleaning mould might not eliminate your mould problem – it will simply return. Also, if the mould growth is entrenched, like deep into wood, you face high health risks by disturbing it and completely cleaning it is very difficult.
