Mould and mildew forms on painted walls when there's a high level of humidity along with insufficient ventilation. Once mould forms, the spores can become airborne. They could result in allergic reactions and breathing troubles as well as unpleasant smells and unattractive spotting. Sometimes mould develops in hidden corners, up high in the back of a cabinet, or around a window frame where it's hidden by the window treatments. You may not realize you have an issue with mould until smells or health concerns bring it to your attention. If you have been coughing and sneezing, or your house does not seem as fresh as you like it to be, check those concealed areas and check if mould could be the culprit.
If you choose to go ahead and paint or paper your home, be sure that your painting and decorating contractors are qualified to deal with the mould problem as well as being competent enough to undertake the painting.
