Mould can soon establish itself on a surface in damp, warm conditions. Mould can effect almost any surface as millions of mould spores in the air will soon establish on any suitable surface. Wallpaper, Paint and sometimes Grout all can attract mould!

If Grouting make sure you get a waterproof grout as mould can soon form on non waterproof grout in kitchens and bathrooms. |

|
Always make sure that you use a wallpaper paste that contains a fungicide or else you could end up with mouldy wallpaper! |
Do Not try and treat the mould with bleach as this will not be successful, it may appear to work for a short while but the mould will reappear in no time. If wall paper has been affected there is no option but to strip it off and replace it, Paint on the other hand can be washed with warm soapy water and then treated with a proprietary fungicide, diluted to the manufacturers instructions, be sure to wear some good quality gloves to protect you from the fungicide.
