Why does mould grow and where else can it be found?

Olivia explained: “Mould thrives in conditions that are warm and damp, so your bathrooms are likely to be the most affected place.

“Windows and windowsills can also be prone to mould build-up.

“This can be especially bad during the colder months if you’ve got your radiators on and there is condensation on your windows from keeping them shut – creating that warm and wet environment that is a breeding ground for mould.

“If left untreated, not only is it unsightly but it can also pose a serious risk to your health, so it’s really important you treat it.

How to stop mould from growing back?

Olivia suggested: “To keep mould at bay, there are some simple solutions you can introduce throughout home.

“The first is keep it ventilated. Even in the cold winter months try to leave your bathroom window open for at least 10/15 minutes post shower or bath.

“This will get rid of any excess moisture quickly preventing mould gathering.

“If you’re having a repeat problem with mould in one particular area, it might be because the humidity levels are too high.

“You can get a dehumidifier that will help keep the levels low and reduce the risk of mould returning.”

It’s important to get rid of mould as it can cause many health problems.

According to the NHS, black mould can lead to asthma attacks, allergic reactions and infections.

When removing black mould, it is important to protect yourself by using rubber gloves and a mask that covers you nose and mouth.
