Mould and mildew forms on painted walls when there is a high amount of humidity along with inadequate ventilation. Once mould forms, the spores can become airborne. They can bring about allergies and breathing troubles as well as unpleasant smells and unattractive spotting. Sometimes mould develops in hidden corners, up high inside the back of a cabinet, or around a window frame where it's hidden by the window treatments. You may not realize you have got an issue with mould until smells or health concerns bring it to your attention. If you've been coughing and sneezing, or your property does not seem as fresh as you prefer it to be, check those hidden areas and check if mould could be the culprit.
If you select to go ahead and paint or paper your home, make sure that your painting and decorating contractors are qualified to deal with your mould trouble as well as being efficient enough to undertake the painting.
