Mould causing ill health

[dizzyblonde]

You should take mould very seriously. It can be extremely harmful to your health, if ignored or not gotten rid of.

Last year I read a bizzarre story, and you reminded me about it.

I have mould in my bathroom, as its tiny. It never used to be bad, I put a new bathroom in four years ago, and neither before or after did I have an issue with mould. Since Pete has moved in, and his OCD shower needs I can't get rid of it!! Even leaving a window open doesn't make it go away, nor when the heating is on.

Maybe I should just take the shower out instead, so Pete doesn't use it!!

Are you telling us you're still in the habit of having a bath once a week?

I assume it's mould growing on the walls Dizz? I had a flat in Edinburgh with an internal bathroom, now window, just a crap old extractor fan. It was a rented flat, so I just washed down with bleach every so often and killed it, but the neighbour with the same bathroom layout tiled the floor and all 4 walls from floor to ceiling then had an impermeable surface that he could wipe dry with a chamois leather.

lol, I'm not an unwashed Yorkie tha knows!

it got a window. Just a tiny one.Its black in the grout at times, round the window too. I spray it with mould killer which keeps it at bay, but it always comes back. When Pete has showers my house is full of steam, and all the windows condensate, hes terrible!

This +1

Mate lived a flat with serious bad mould, was constantly ill/flu symptoms.

Moved out, and no issues now.
