To not know how to get rid of the mould

[MouldWoes]

My walls are covered. I'm trying to keep on top of them with bleach. I open the window and have the heating on. Is it worth me getting them replastered?

You need to remove the cause of the mould first. Does guttering or roof need looked at?

I seen a video somewhere that bleach feeds the mould instead of getting rid of it . I think even makes it more harmful .

OH MY GOD nooo

A dehumidifier in the room with the problem but as someone has already said you need to find out the root cause of it and fix it.

I once saw a recommendation that using biological washing powder in hot water kills mould.

You need vinegar to kill the mould but more importantly, find the reason for it.

I had it on the bathroom, sloping ceiling. Bleach only bleached it but vinegar killed it for a time.

You need to get rid of the damp too. A dehumidifier, as well as heat and ventilation, will help enormously. Just don't use it with the window open though unless you are trying to dry the clouds 😉

People saying to use vinegar - it's so stinky though.
Is there an alternative? I know Google is my friend but I'm looking for recommendations

I've used Cillit Bang Black Mould Remover in the past and it didn't come back. You do need to check the underlying cause though.

This worked really well on the mould on our walls. Gently sponged it off.

it also worked well on green slippery stone flags too.

I think it's poor ventilation and a really old radiator

Plastering won’t make any difference. If it’s condensation related mould you need to find a way to create more air flow (air bricks in the roof), dehumidifier on 24/7 and windows open all the time, even when it’s freezing. Our house had dreadful damp and mould to the point at one stage we had water dripping down the bedroom lights - doing the things above completely solved it.

Is the property yours?
If not get on to your landlord.
If yours you need to be proactive in finding the cause. Guttering window frames etc.
Once it's under control you can buy specialist paint that also helps to inhabit future mould.

Cilit bang black mould remover as mentioned.
Its basically very strong bleach. And does kill mould.
Plus Dehumidifier.
most have a humidity setting so the dont run all the time.
also as mentioned if you paint wall with kitchen/bathroom paint this has mould inhibitors which will help

This paint ( others are available too)

Thank you we do own it. Sounds stupid but is there such thing as a mould specialist I could pay to look at the walls and work out what the issue is? I'm clueless

Check the damp course on your brickwork outside. Is it there in the first place? Is it damaged? Is the mortar between your brick solid and in good state of repair?

indoors do you ventilate fully with the whole house windows open for a period of time daily? Shower and kitchen with good ventilation? Do you have a good dehumidifier?

stopping the damp is the first thing. Then you can concentrate on re-plastering/painting.

I found I had wet windows each morning despite new pointing and windows and doors. I was already opening windows. But this wasn’t enough and a dehumidifier on most days has totally revolved the problem. It’s incredible how much water it is sucking fro the air. Not only that, I’ve noticed he temperature in my house has gone up 1.5 degrees since using the dehumidifier (all other conditions remaining the same) dry air is easier to heat and keep warm so it’s made a positive difference to that too!

We have this dehumidifier and bought for a friend it's dinky but really works , never had any issues with it.
( Sorry it's a screenshot when I tried to link it kept my details!)

Before paying anyone I'd try all suggestions on here.
Ventilation, a mould killer and/or dehumidifier.

Yes, there are damp specialists, but make sure you get an independent one, not one trying to sell you services. Or, join the Damp & condensation advice Facebook group and ask on there - you'll undoubtedly get lots of contradictory advice though!

Loads of anti mould sprays in the shops in places like Home Bargains. Plus a dehumidifier as people have said really helps dry the place out. Might be offers on dehumidifiers in Boxing Day sales

I run a dehumidifier on every floor of our old house. They turn on and off as needed

Be careful with the sprays as they are very strong , wear old clothes etc because they will beach whatever they come into contact with .

Don't use bleach at all. It's makes it very bad for you to breath in . Not sure if anyone else has already said but is really bad for your health .
The mix of mould and bleach together is so bad

If you get a specialist dont get one that can offer a solution.
