We Remove Mildew from Homes Every Day

Have you often seen a green fungus on the walls or ceilings? It is a natural fungus that grows on damp surfaces and can be fully prevented in most cases. The fastest and best way to control mildew and mould is the control the moisture of that particular region by drying out the area.  Common areas of concerns are bathrooms, basements, kitchens and laundry rooms. Common materials where mould and mildew occur are ceiling tiles, wooden panneling, mattresses, drywall and more.

Things that can cause or accelerate fungus growth

Leaky ceilings – from excessive rain or flooding.

Consistent Moisture Source – from damaged area, bad drainage, leaky pipe, outdoor aircon units or collected water in any specific area.

Humidity – from natural humid weather or steam from shower, or change of weather.

Why is it harmful or costly?

Moulds can look fuzzy with thread-like structures in grey, green, blue, greenish black which can be harmful, the most toxic is black mould. It increases the risk of health diseases and grows indoors especially in autumn-winter when the level of condensation increases. These carry impurities which can come from rainwater, sea water or sewage water. These can cause allergic reactions such as chest or nasal congestion, asthma attacks, itchy or dry eyes, sneezing, infections, headaches, migraines and fatigue. It can also create breathing and skin allergy like eczema etc.

It worsens hard materials such as paint, drywall and wood and can cause cosmetic and discolouration along with breakdown damage.

How effective are mould removal sprays?

Whislt many brands in supermarkets and hardware stores sell extreme mould removal sprays, these need to be properly applied and thoroughly mixed to the right ratios to be safe and effective. Most home owners and office workers don’t have the knowledge or expertise to apply this properly, and may be putting their indoor home health to toxic levels.  Not to mention the risk of health effects from cleaning without the right protection and coverage.
