Question: What is the most cost effective treatment that can be applied to remove mould from affected areas?

Answer: Clean the mould affected area down with warm soapy water.

You can clean mould down with warm soapy water. There is the theory that you can use an 80/20 vinegar water mix. You can also use mould killers.

You want to be removing the mould, not just removing the colour of the mould or the mould may still be there. So warm soapy water is really the best for this. Get a hot bucket of soapy water and you can just wet wipe it down.

Try to avoid spraying with a trigger spray. If there are mould spores and you spray it with anything it can cause the mould spores to become airborne and move around and that’s when you can breathe them in.
