black mould in rented house

13»

Comments

  • I had black mould on my double glazing and white painted windowsill (never spelt that word before - weird). I actually used baby wipes dipped in a bowl of warm water, baking soda and tea tree oil (for smell), came off lovely!!!

    Then I got one of those ball boxes too ^^ off ebay. And opened the top window literally an inch. Also shut the kitchen door when drying. Now get no condensation and it hasn't cost me a penny in extra heating - I have a horrible old boiler and a 2 window bedroom with 1 small radiator.

    Really the tenants should be more considerate, it shouldn't have to cost them extra ££

    We get black mould and there does not seem to be anything permenant I can do about it.. So we always have a bottle of Astonish mould and mildew cleaner in the house. Couple of sprays and a cloth and its gone with hardly any scrubbing....
    99p solution too and the best of the mould cleaners I have found

    It comes back, but its one of those ongoing operations for us...

  • Do they dry laundry indoors? This is the most common cause of moist air migrating round a property and condensing on the nearest cold surface.

    Sorry for late reply.. yes its excellent for drying clothes. We have it in the spare room where we have a couple of clothes horses, if we shut the door and leave it on, all the clothes are dry in about 24hrs, towels a little longer. They're really ugly but boy, are great to have! ;)
