Remove black mould on walls
If you have patches of black mould in your home, it means that you already have condensation or damp in your property. These affected areas will need to be treated to remove the mould.
Watch the video below and follow the steps to remove black mould. You will need gloves, goggles and a mask, as well as a specific mould-cleaning product. Mould cleaning products can be purchased from most supermarkets and home stores.
Once you have cleaned off the mould, it is important to take steps to help prevent it from returning. Read tips on preventing damp and condensation.
Condensation and mould on windows and doors
During cold weather, you might notice condensation forming at the bottom of your windows in the mornings. It's a good idea to wipe away this moisture daily with a soft cloth or paper towel to prevent mould from developing.
You might also see mould growing around the edges of your windows and doors. To clean this, use a mould-cleaning solution and dry the area with a soft cloth or paper towel.
