How to Remove Mould from Home Surfaces Safely and Effectively
At Capital Restoration Cleaning, we know how distressing it can be to discover mould in your home. Mould doesn’t just look unpleasant—it can cause serious health issues and structural damage if left untreated. If you’re wondering how to remove mould from home surfaces, here’s what you need to know—and why in many cases, it’s safest to contact a professional mould removal company like us.
The Hidden Dangers of Mould
Surface mould is often only part of the problem. What appears as a small, manageable patch could be the tip of the iceberg. Mould can grow behind walls, under floors, and inside ceilings—places you can’t see, but where moisture has created the perfect environment for it to thrive.
Living with mould can lead to respiratory issues, skin irritation, allergic reactions, and more. Children, the elderly, and anyone with asthma or a compromised immune system are particularly vulnerable. That’s why it’s so important to act quickly—and correctly.
How to Remove Mould from Home Surfaces Without Making It Worse
While small patches of mould on bathroom tiles or window sills may seem like an easy DIY job, improper cleaning methods can make things worse. Trying to clean large surfaces that present mould can be even more dangerous, especially if the mould is imbedded in the surface and there is significantly more mould growth behind what can be visibly seen. Wiping mould without containing the area or using the right protective equipment can spread harmful spores throughout your home, causing new infestations in unexpected places. In most cases, mould that is imbedded in surfaces must be cut and removed responsibly, it cannot be cleaned.
At Capital Restoration Cleaning, we use proven techniques to contain, clean, remove, and prevent mould re-growth. Our team is fully trained, certified, and experienced in safely managing mould of all types and severities.
