Removing mould in the bathroom
Mould in the bathroom is not just a cosmetic problem: if it’s not removed immediately, the infestation can spread to other rooms in the home. The risk to health should not be underestimated: mould can cause respiratory problems and allergies, especially for people with weak immune systems.
Fortunately, you can get rid of mould in the bathroom – in many cases using simple household remedies.
How to remove mould in the bathroom
If you need to get rid of mould in the bathroom, plan the process carefully and take the appropriate precautions. A fresh layer of paint on affected areas can provide a short-term cosmetic solution. However, mould can continue to spread unchecked behind the paint. It’s therefore important to get rid of the mould correctly.
Tips for gentle mould removal
If you spot mould in the bathroom early enough, you can treat it using gentle household products. Provided the mould infestation is minor, it can be removed relatively easily.
An infestation is minor if it only affects areas on the walls or tiles measuring 30-40 square centimetres, and if the mould has not yet permeated the silicone sealant. But there is no time to lose, as the spores could spread further.
Also note: in rental properties, the landlord must be notified of any mould infestation. Talk to your landlord to determine whether the bathroom’s ventilation solution is fit for purpose or needs to be improved, for example, by installing a more complete ventilation system.
