Mould is a type of fungus that grows in damp or moist places and can become a problem in homes.
To prevent its growth, repair leaking pipes and roofs and keep rooms well ventilated by opening windows or using fans, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.
Dehumidifiers and air conditioners can also help control excess moisture.
Dry wet floors, walls and other damp surfaces promptly, and clean visible mould using appropriate products.
When cleaning, wear gloves, protective eyewear and a mask for protection. If mould covers a large area, consider seeking professional removal to ensure it is safely dealt with.
