Mould is a common household problem that many people try to tackle with bleach. It seems like a quick fix: bleach kills mould on contact, right? Unfortunately, this popular solution often backfires, especially on porous surfaces like wood, gyprock or fabric. Instead of eliminating mould for good, bleach can actually encourage it to come back stronger. Understanding why this happens can save you time, money and frustration.

Mould growth in homes and buildings poses serious health risks and structural damage if left untreated. Sometimes, mould requires more than just surface cleaning; it demands thorough remediation to eliminate spores and prevent regrowth. One powerful tool Mould Remediators use is gaseous peroxide, a method that offers deep disinfection and effective mould control.

Mould is more than just an unsightly nuisance - It can damage your property and pose serious health risks. If you’ve ever dealt with mould, you know how frustrating it can be to get rid of it, only to see it return weeks later. These tips will help you protect your home or workplace from mould for good.

Having had over 18 years of experience as the Mould Remediation department for WA Flood and Fire, we have optimised our mould cleaning process to be as efficient and comprehensive as possible, in keeping with the IICRC S520 Standard.

When getting rid of mould, if a professional service (mould removal company) is not an option or you want to do it yourself, it’s important to follow a few basic rules. These include eye protection, good ventilation or air purifying equipment (air scrubbers).

If you have discovered mould, then you have or have had an escape of liquids (water leak of some description). The most important rule in mould cleaning and control is NO WATER, THEN NO MOULD.
