Why Mould is a Serious Problem in Your Home?
Mould isn’t just an eyesore; it’s a health hazard that could be lurking in your walls, ceilings, and corners. It thrives in damp, poorly ventilated areas, especially after water damage or in spaces prone to humidity.
But here’s the kicker: prolonged exposure to mould can lead to serious health issues, including:
Respiratory problems like asthma, coughing, and wheezing.
Allergic reactions such as skin rashes and sneezing.
Long-term exposure risks, including chronic sinus infections and even neurological effects in severe cases.
Mould doesn’t just impact your health—it can also damage the structural integrity of your home. Left unchecked, it can weaken walls and ceilings, leading to costly repairs.
Why Does Mould Happen?
Mould thrives in moisture-rich environments with poor airflow. Common causes include:
Leaky pipes or roofs.
High indoor humidity levels.
Lack of ventilation in kitchens, bathrooms, or basements.
Preventing mould starts with addressing these underlying issues, but when it does show up, a quick and effective solution is crucial.
Before You Paint: Neutralizing Mould on a Budget
Getting rid of mould doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Here’s how to prepare your surfaces before applying Harlequin’s Anti-Mould Paint:
Bleach and Water Solution:
Mix one part bleach with three parts water.
Use a sponge or spray bottle to apply the solution to the affected areas.
Let it sit for 15 minutes, then scrub the surface with a stiff brush.
Rinse and allow the area to dry completely.
White Vinegar:
Undiluted white vinegar is another budget-friendly option.
Spray it on the mouldy area, leave it for an hour, and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Baking Soda Spray:
Combine 1 teaspoon of baking soda with water in a spray bottle.
Apply, scrub, and rinse—it’s cheap, eco-friendly, and effective.
