Mould indoor, mould outdoor... This has definitely been one of the most humid years in a long while. In fact, so far Sydney recorded its wettest start to a year on record ever! In Australia as a whole, May 2022 rainfall was 40% above the 1961–1990 average. This means a lot of water coming down and if in a way this can be positive for nature and other aspects, this level of moisture in the air can also bring some unwanted consequences like the fast growing of MOULD and MILDEW on both, indoors and outdoors.

Outside of your home mould will grow onto pretty much any surface, driveways, roofs, tennis courts, paths, painted walls… Inside, mould and mildew can be found on timber furniture, door frames, bathroom tiles, shoes, handbags, painted walls and ceilings, windows and windowsills and more. But how can we actually fight these things and avoid them to grow and regrow after time?

Some basic tactics like inspecting your home regularly, keeping places ventilated and fixing leaks to control moisture will definitely help. However, using the correct mould removal product to each area of the house is a key factor, so let’s get to learn more about them:
