Mould infestation is a common problem that can affect any home, regardless of cleanliness. Mould spores exist naturally in the air and only require the right conditions to germinate and grow. If your home has experienced dampness, condensation, or water leaks, you may be at risk of a mould infestation. This issue can escalate quickly, as mould spores multiply in moist environments with minimal food sources.

The good news is that effective mould remediation is possible with the right approach and tools. Dew Products’ Disinfect SuperHygiene 500ml offers a natural, safe, and highly effective way to counter mould in your home.

What Causes Mould Infestation?

Mould infestation occurs when airborne mould spores find a suitable environment to grow. The key conditions for mould growth are:

• Dampness: A relative humidity above 60%, usually from leaks, or condensation, creates the perfect environment for mould to thrive.
• Food Source: Mould feeds on almost any material, from wood to fabrics and even dust particles.

These two conditions combined create a breeding ground for mould. It’s essential to control humidity and address leaks to prevent infestation.

Why Is Mould Infestation Dangerous?

Mould is not just unsightly; it’s also hazardous to health. Mould releases mycotoxins, which can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and in some cases, long-term health problems. Here’s why you should act without delay:

• Health Risks: Mycotoxins can irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. Prolonged exposure can lead to serious health issues, especially for those with asthma or allergies. Some Black Mould is also known to be carcinogenic.
• Structural Damage: Mould can degrade building materials like wood, drywall, and insulation, potentially compromising the structural integrity of your home.

Addressing a mould infestation quickly can help protect your health and prevent costly building repairs.

How To Identify A Mould Infestation

Signs of a mould infestation are often easy to spot but sometimes require closer inspection. Key indicators include:

• Visible Mould: Black, green, or white patches on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces.
• Musty Smell: Mould produces a distinctive damp, musty odour, so if you smell a musty odour, you need to investigate the source.
• Discolouration: Stained or darkened patches on walls, especially near windows, bathrooms, and kitchens.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to act fast.

Effective Mould Remediation Process

Successful mould remediation requires a structured approach. Dew Products’ Disinfect SuperHygiene 500ml simplifies this process with its powerful, natural formula. Follow these steps to ensure a positive outcome:

For surface contamination:

1. Wear a face mask before starting any work.
2. Fog the Affected Area: Use a fogger or spray to fill the airspace with fine droplets of Disinfect SuperHygiene 500ml. This step kills airborne mould spores and mycotoxins, making it safe for operatives to work in the area.
3. Spray Directly on Surfaces: Apply Disinfect SuperHygiene 500ml to any visible mould patches, thoroughly saturating the surface. The product’s clear, fragrance-free liquid works on all surfaces, including kitchen countertops and bathroom tiles. Spray it on and leave it for at least 5 minutes, some mould spores are hard to kill, then wash the surface with fresh water before wiping dry. Finally spray again with Disinfect SuperHygiene 500ml and let it dry naturally.

For contaminated materials:

1. Removal of Contaminated Materials:For severe infestations, it may be necessary to remove and dispose of contaminated materials like drywall, carpets, or insulation, using a variety of tools and methods. Please follow HAZMAT protocols, which include using face masks an, double-bagging all removed material for incineration.
2. Final Fogging: Once all of the infected material has been removed, fog the area again to eliminate any newly released spores during the removal process. This final step ensures the airspace is free from spores, making the environment safe for re-occupancy after the reapirs have been completed.
3. Clean Surfaces: Clean affected surfaces with Superclean Fragrance-Free 500ml to remove surface deposits. Although the product kills mould instantly, it may not remove deep stains, so further cleaning or redecoration may be required.
