Powerful mould removers are great for immediate treatments, but if you’ve solved the underlying issue and it is about prevention, a milder mould remover may be best. What type of surface do you need to use it on? Most mould removers come with an extensive list of surfaces you can and can’t use - ensure you read the label and conduct a patch test before applying it. Follow the instructions on the label and spray or dab the mould remover on a small area. This is known as a patch test and will help you to determine whether this mould remover is suitable for your surface and if it will work.

Mould is a type of fungus that flourishes in humid conditions, such as kitchens and bathrooms. Once it takes root, it will continue to grow until measures are taken to remove it. It’s a common sight in many homes, particularly in rooms that are prone to damp and heat, such as kitchens and bathrooms. It’s caused by an excess of moisture, with common triggers including condensation and excess humidity. Poor ventilation and rising damp can also contribute towards mould. Who else is in your household? For example, some products might not be suitable for homes with fish tanks. If you have young children or pets, you might prefer to use a product that’s non-toxic. It can be used on a wide range of non-porous surfaces, including walls, tiles, shower curtains, grout and window frames. With regular use, the product promises to not only eliminate existing mould but also keep its likelihood of return low – though we couldn’t test this ourselves. Application is easy too. Carefully apply the product to the affected area – we tested it on the bathroom grout – then leave it for a few minutes before wiping it clean.HG Mould Spray is a name that comes up again and again (and again) on Mumsnet as the best mould remover. Users love it because it’s affordable, effective and plumber recommended. Whether you’ve got mould on plastered walls, tiles, bathroom seals, grout, windows or outdoor furniture, just spray on the HG Mould Spray, wait 10 minutes and simply wipe it away. Cif Perfect Finish Mould Stain Remover can be used around your home and outdoors to clean mould and mildew but is best suited for lifting mould stains in the bathroom, including baths, showers, tiles, showers and grout. Along with sodium hypochlorite, this product also contains bleach, meaning that your surfaces will be mould-free and sparkling clean long after you’ve treated them. You can even use this spray to clean up limescale and stubborn stains such as tea and wine. Humidity: From using an appliance like a tumble dryer or washing machine or going about daily tasks like taking a shower or cooking dinner, humidity is the most common cause of mould.

Rising Damp: Whether it is an issue inside the wall, such as a leak, rising damp indicates a serious structural issue that will cause mould growth. Mould is a fungus made up of microscopic spores that flourish in damp, humid conditions. It breaks down organic material, especially in porous surfaces such as wallpaper, paint, wood and fabric. It is important to remember that mould is common in homes but won’t go away on its own. Instead, it will continue to spread and grow until you remove it. If you’re struggling with mould lichen and algae on your paving or patio, the Wet & Forget Mould Lichen and Algae Remover may be your best bet. You can dilute it using one part Wet & Forget to five parts water, which means that this bottle containing five litres of solution will make a whopping 30 litres – enough for up to 300 metres squared. You don’t even need to scrub. Just follow the instructions on the container – wet the area, then leave it to do its thing if it rains, even better, as the rain helps to reactivate the product.
