Black mould after recent wet weather.

[phetphet]

Has anyone else noticed that black mould, a part of living in such a humid, tropical environment, seems particularly bad this year?

 

I always seem to get an outbreak in the bathroom during the wet season, but this year it has also started sprouting up on several bedroom ceilings. Even though I use the air con.

I  have been using diluted Hydrogen Peroxide in a spray to clean all walls and ceilings, but does anyone have any other ideas on what I might use? Especially on the grouting in the shower.

 

TIA

Spray bottle with 50/50 5% fermented vinegar/ water, spray on for 15 mins then rinse off.

100% the best thing to use to kill black mould is tea tree oil. In a 500 ml spray bottle, mix water with two teaspoons of tea tree oil (you can get it on Lazada). This is hands down the very best way to kill mould.

 

Because it's natural, there seems to be a lack of awareness about how bad mould is for your health. It's terrible and ongoing exposure to mould can cause all sorts of health issues. So do everything you possibly can to kill it!

Do you have a good air circulation in your bathroom ? And most bathroom exhaust fans blow all to under roof that cause high humidity over all rooms ceiling. My house exhaust fans connected by ducts to outside, not under the roof (usually cheap contractors do for saving money). 

Spray bleach to all tiles, but don't breath it in.
