Mould is one of those silent intruders that creeps in without warning and can quickly turn into a serious problem if left untreated. At CleanArtex, we know just how important it is to keep your home or workplace clean, healthy, and mould-free. Whether it’s a small patch in the bathroom or larger spots in a damp garage, we’re here to help with some expert advice on how to remove mould safely and prevent it from coming back.
🦠 What Causes Mould?
Mould thrives in damp, humid environments and often shows up in areas with poor ventilation — like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and basements. Leaks, condensation, and even daily activities like cooking or showering without proper airflow can create the perfect conditions for mould growth.
🔧 What You’ll Need to Remove Mould
Before you get started, make sure you have:
- Gloves and a mask (to protect yourself from spores)
- Safety goggles (optional but recommended)
- A scrubbing brush or sponge
- White vinegar or mould cleaner
- Baking soda (for stubborn mould)
- A spray bottle
- Clean cloths or paper towels
🧼 Step-by-Step: How to Remove Mould
- Ventilate the area
Open windows and doors to improve airflow and reduce moisture. - Spray with vinegar
Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar and spray directly onto the mouldy surface. Let it sit for at least an hour to break down the mould. - Scrub the area
Use a brush or sponge to scrub the mould off. For tougher patches, mix baking soda with water to form a paste and apply it to the surface before scrubbing. - Rinse and dry
Wipe the area with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly to prevent the mould from coming back. - Dispose of materials
Throw away used cloths or sponges if they’re heavily contaminated.
