How to clean Mould?

It can take as little as a day for mildew spores to start growing after they find a hospitable environment - humid and wet places. The spores themselves are invisible and you won't spot them until their colony isn't grown enough. Mould would grow and live on almost anything, any type of fabric, leather, wood, glass, porcelain, stainless steel, paper, anything. Some types of mould are toxic and, after inhaled or in contact with human skin, are the major cause of allergies, chronic fatigue or even lung disease and other conditions.

Mould fungus is very stubborn and difficult to remove. Sometimes a solution of bleach and hot water helps to clean walls and ceilings. Mix half a cup of bleach with a litre of water, then pour one part of the solution with three parts hot water in a spray bottle and work on the moulded sections. Wipe with a wet clout a few minutes later. Repeat if necessary. Change the fillings in bathrooms after mould appears, it's impossible to clean them as these premises are almost always moist.
