Dirt: "Mould and mildew like dirt," says Chris Michael. "So make sure you clean regularly, paying particular attention to areas where you think mould might become a problem" Pull in the direction of hair growth: Place your fingers either side of the plaster and gently remove with your other hand. Keep in mind that this mold remover is explicitly designed to kill mold and mildew fungus that may be growing on the surface level. Despite the presence of ammonium, you will want to scrub the area and completely clean the affected room to be sure all mold spores are removed, per Rubino's guidance. Also, while we appreciate this formula's broad application potential, it is not a mold stain remover. If months or years of buildup have left lots of stains behind, you may need to use a separate product to remove the discoloration. If there is just a small patch of damp on your floor, you may be able to remedy it by painting over the patch to stop any more water coming through. You'll need to apply two coats of bitumen latex waterproof emulsion, which you can buy from many DIY stores, underneath the floor covering. For extra protection, some experts recommend laying reflective foil building paper (foil side up) before the paint is dry.Make sure your area has proper ventilation, and be sure to wear all personal protective equipment, such as a mask, gloves, and eyewear, while using the mold remover. You should also never mix a cleaner with another. If you fancy giving this method a try, wear gloves and old clothes and keep children and pets well away. Poor ventilation: Good ventilation is key to keeping rooms fresh and condensation, damp and mould-free. Good extractor fans, MVHR and dehumidifiers can all help —as can regularly opening windows. If you'd prefer to avoid using strong chemicals when washing away mold growth, consider the plant-based Botanical Decon 30 Disinfectant from Benefect. Unlike other mold removers that contain strong chemical agents to help clean surfaces, like ammonium, this formula does not. Botanical Decon 30 is a very gentle formula that has no chemicals or dyes present. That being said, it's not a fungicide—which means it's not designed to kill mold spores. "Benefect washes away mold spores and their food sources, so it removes a large amount of the mold and reduces mold growth," notes Homer.

If neither of the above seem to being having the desired effect, it might be time to get that mixing bowl out and make up your own DIY mould remover. Regular Updates: Our recommendations stay current with any changes in product performance or availability.

Removing mold does require some elbow grease, even when you're dealing with small spots in your home, but choosing the right product can make application easier. Mold removers typically come in spray bottles that give thorough, uniform coverage—even in hard-to-reach areas. Every remover on our list either comes in a spray bottle or has the option to buy a separate spray top attachment. Products designed to get rid of mold spots work by targeting the spore (or root) of the mold. (Note: this does not mean the root cause, which is moisture.) After you apply the product, most formulas require you to wait a few minutes. During this period, the product is destroying mold spores at the roots with the help of a fungicide. At the same time, other active ingredients, like ammonium in some formula, works to clean and disinfect the treated surface. Many mold removers also work to prevent growth by leaving behind an antimicrobial coating. The "prevention" part of a formula is known as a mildewstat.
