Dealing with mould

Warning: mould can cause allergic reactions and poor health, so if you have an extensive problem with mould on walls, it may be best to seek expert help. If tackling a smaller area, ensure you wear protective eyewear, gloves, and a facemask, as contact with the spores can be harmful. Also open windows or use a fan in the room while working.
1. To start, grab your bottle of FUZE MouldKill and apply to the desired area.
2. Using a stiff-bristled brush, scrub the blackened area and rinse afterwards. 


Stopping mould/mildew from returning
Once you've dealt with a mildew infestation on your walls, the next step is to prevent it from returning. If you have used a specialised product, such as an FUZE MouldKill to clean mould off the walls, this can help prevent the spores from returning. You could also cover the area with anti-mildew paint, which can be purchased from most DIY stores.
The best tip for getting rid of mould is to cut out the damp conditions it loves so much:
• Keep bathrooms, kitchens, and other humid spaces well ventilated and as dry as possible. Frequently running water in basins, bathtubs and showers creates wet surfaces and puddles of water. If you don't dry this moisture out quickly it can easily lead to mould growth.
• Spread out shower curtains and towels to dry.
• Tackle leaks as soon as they're discovered to prevent moisture seeping into cavities and under floors.
But don't panic if mould and mildew on walls does return – it's a common issue, and you’re now well armed with advice on how to deal with it!
