Product Information

If you don't want to go out and buy a specialist mould removal product, you can give clear (don't use blue toilet bleach!) bleach a go," says Homebuilding & Renovating's Amy Willis, , who has tried various mould removal methods in her own home. "You'll need to use one that contains chlorine as this is the active ingredient, according to H&G." Attach a pencil to the end of a length of string. Pin the string at the mid-point between the two sides so that the pencil reaches the top of both side lines. You can try this method for removing mould on skirting boards, walls, around windows and even on fabrics. Aim for a ratio of two cups of water to 1/4 tablespoon of baking soda and scrub the affected area with a brush, before rinsing clean and treating the area again for good measure. Many people swear by baking soda (also called bicarbonate of soda) for removing a whole host of household nasties, mould included.

Another benefit of this method is that it helps eliminate any musty odours associated with mould — plus it is safe for those with pets and children. Although it is a good idea to start with gentler, natural remedies, on stubborn areas of mould, a stronger solution may be required. (Image credit: Getty) 2. Vinegar could be your best friend The key here is to be careful where you use bleach. If you are wondering how to remove mould from walls without damaging paint, then you should probably avoid the use of bleach altogether. Alternaria: This is commonly found in the summer months and, like any other mould, loves damp, dark and humid environments. Appearance-wise, it often appears as dark green or grey spots, which can spread. It releases spores and a musty smell and can present health risks with long exposure. "You might find this under sinks or baths, where water might escape," says Chris. Plaster coving – the most traditional material and also the most durable, so it needs less maintenance and less painting. Plaster coving is heavier than other coving.It’s best to fit your coving prior to painting or putting up wallpaper. If your room has architrave and skirting then choose a design which complements these features for the best look.

Accordingto Justyna Korczynska, Colour Consultant at Crown, 'there are many well-known theories surrounding colour psychology and how colourscan evoke physical and psychological responses. When decorating thebedroom, it's important to choose a colour thatresonates with you. Consider how a colour makes you feel, if it would help you unwind, or alternatively help you wake-up in the morning. Cool coloursfrom nature such as blue and green tend to be restful, whereas warmer colours like yellow and orange tend to be more stimulating.' Matt paint is perfect for the bedroom.A flat matt paint is often chosen for bedrooms, over areas like hallways or living rooms, as a bedroom wall rarelyneeds to be heavily cleaned. Knowing what sort of mould you have in your property can help you to treat it — either by yourself or with help from a professional," says Chris Michael, Managing Director at Meaco. "The climate in the UK, with its colder, wetter autumns and winters, means that many properties can find themselves dealing with mould. And that’s particularly true in older properties that might not be well enough ventilated."Baking soda fights bacterial growth," confirms Chris Michael. "All you need is a spray bottle, some lukewarm water and around 1/4 tablespoon of baking soda. Fill the bottle, add the soda and shake well. Then use as you would a dirt remover spray." The main disadvantage of this method is the chip shop odour that is likely to be left behind, although this will fade after a time. Again, this is a method best suited to mild cases of mould. 3.
