It’s that time of year when you may experience: Mildew or ‘surface mould’
Small, dark grey or white spots that appear flat and ‘powdery’ in texture
Spots appearing in areas where a lot of excess moisture tends to gather, e.g. on the bathroom ceiling, around the edges of the bath, at the edges of windows
This is where excess moisture has become trapped in the property, settled on surfaces and attracted mould growth. It’s common in homes and forms as a result of everyday activities, such as cooking, washing and drying clothes.
In this case, you can help avoid mildew through proper ventilation – using extractor fans and opening windows – and wiping away any condensation that collects. If you do find small patches of mildew forming, you should be able to remove it yourself with some mould spray, which you can pick up from any DIY store for around £5 – just remember to wear gloves and follow the safety advice on the bottle.
Any problems - let the Dee know….
