What is Mould Cleaning?

Mould cleaning refers to the professional removal of visible mould growth from surfaces like walls, ceilings, tile grout, and furnishings. Unlike mould remediation, which addresses the root causes and contaminated materials, mould cleaning is a rapid response service focused on eliminating mould that has already appeared.

Our service is ideal for situations where mould is still contained to the surface and hasn’t yet penetrated deep structural elements. We help restore the visual and hygienic quality of your space while minimising health risks caused by surface mould exposure.

How We Clean Mould

Our mould cleaning service involves several steps. First, we inspect your property, which tells us what type of mould removal your buildings require. We perform a visual examination and use other techniques to identify the source of the problem. For example, we recommend repairing leaky pipes before attempting to clean any mould they cause.

We then move on to the mould removal process. We may use a variety of methods, including:

  • Airborne filtering
  • Fogging treatments
  • Direct cleaning

 

Once we complete the cleaning process, we apply some finishing touches, preventing mould from growing again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can. People with mould allergies can begin to cough and have itchy eyes when they breathe in mould spores. It’s important to arrange regular cleaning to protect customers or staff who may be allergic to mould.
If you can’t see any mould but suspect it is growing, some obvious signs are a musty or damp smell, warping or cracking of paint, or visible signs of moisture build up on surfaces.
Mould colonies can begin to grow and spread within 24 to 48 hours on damp surfaces. They reproduce through spores that can travel through the air.

There are several ways you can keep mould out of buildings. These include ensuring adequate ventilation, cleaning areas thoroughly after flooding, and fixing leaky roofs, pipes and windows quickly. You should also endeavour to control humidity levels in your house as much as possible. High humidity indoors combined with low outdoor temperatures can lead to condensation, providing mould with an opportunity to grow. Ideally, humidity should be between 30 and 50 per cent.

You can try to clean mould yourself, but you may find that it comes back. Once established, mould is difficult to remove. Getting rid of it often requires professional equipment operated by trained professionals.

When mould problems don’t go away after a thorough cleaning, it usually means that an underlying source of moisture remains. Water can enter your home and enable mould to flourish in various ways, including rising damp from the basement, penetrating damp from driving rain, leaky pipes, roofs and gutters, or persistent high humidity. Failing to deal with these issues will cause mould to return repeatedly.

Some people leave their homes because of mould while they wait for professionals to eliminate the problem. However, whether you go is a personal choice. People who are ill because of mould might want to move into temporary accommodation until professionals deal with the issue. Consult with your physician if you are unsure what to do.

There are mould tests available. However, if you see mould growing in your home, the best policy is simply to remove it. Most species are harmful to human health in indoor environments.

Scientists call mould toxins ‘mycotoxins’. Not all fungal species produce these, though several mould types do.

How much mould smells is not an indication of how dangerous it is. Therefore, you should remove any mould you find in your environment.

Some moulds contain toxins that might cause severe symptoms, such as memory loss, though these are rare.

Mould will grow in places with a lot of moisture, even if ventilation is good. However, you can reduce mould’s ability to grow by installing extractor fans in your kitchen and bathroom.
