Home Smart – D Mould for Windows, UPVC Plastic, 28 mm, 5 mm

Product Information

Poor ventilation: Good ventilation is key to keeping rooms fresh and condensation, damp and mould-free. Good extractor fans, MVHR and dehumidifiers can all help —as can regularly opening windows. 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." 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. Revisit your chemistry class

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 Do take care when using some of the more potent formulas and open windows to get some fresh air flowing through the room. Depending on the product, it is often necessary to leave the solutions to get to work for a while before wiping them away. Dirt: "Mould and mildew like dirt," says Chris Michael. "So make sure you clean regularly, paying particular attention to areas where you think mould might become a problem" Excess humidity: Too much humidity causes damp — and damp causes mould. Aim to reduce the moisture in any rooms harbouring mould. A dehumidifier is a good investment in rooms with condensation and damp problems. Oak is a premium quality hardwood which is becoming increasingly popular thanks to its strength, ease of maintenance and overall appearance. All our oak products are responsibly sourced.Once fixed, you may wish to seal the edges, with silicone for external use, and a caulk for internal use. The acids in vinegar are good for breaking down mould," says Chris Michael. "You can put neat vinegar onto the mould, leave for a while and then wipe off. Regular household vinegar is fine – you don’t need anything special."

With zero maintenance and easy wipe clean material you can minimalize time, effort and mess. 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. In many cases, given the product has been able to penetrate the mould to the base, allowing the product to ‘soak in’ giving it time to work will ensue the best results.

Mix one part bleach to four parts of water," says Chris Michael. "Be careful where you clean with bleach though. Unsurprisingly, it will lighten or even remove the colour of painted walls or wallpapers, so best to use it on grouting, tiles and bathroom fittings." 5. Invest in a specialist cleaning solution If the DIY remedies above are not producing the results you had hoped for it is probably time to get to the shops and invest in one of the many specialist mould cleaners available. Baking soda is good for more than just biscuits —it also serves as a natural disinfectant thanks to it having pH levels of 8-8.1, which is too high for mould to survive, according to experts in ventilation, Envirovent. However, it can be a great way to get rid of light mould stains in bathrooms and on grout. On tougher stains bleach will not always get rid of them all together, as Amy found out when trying the technique out on her bathroom ceiling. Our Pine products are made using a lightweight, straight grained softwood which is easy to work with. Due to its strength, elasticity and relatively low cost, pine is a popular choice to be used in a variety of projects.Generally, a minimum of 20 minutes on walls and shower mould, grout etc… If possible, for outdoor concretes and driveways leave on the surfaces for a minimum of an hour but, if able, leave it for the weather to remove. Many people swear by baking soda (also called bicarbonate of soda) for removing a whole host of household nasties, mould included. Using our high-quality range, it guarantees you peace of mind that you are going to finish your project with professionally manufactured products to make any house a home!
