Help! How can I get rid of the mould in my house?

By Isra’a Emhail of RNZ It probably seems innocent at first: a few black spots here, a gentle fuzz there, maybe a bit of a musty scent. But as many New Zealanders know, it doesn’t take much for mould to get a grip on your home . And when that happens, it can have serious repercussions.

Leon Crane, of mould cleaning and restorative services company Restate, says people are becoming more aware that mould in homes can harm their health . “It is a health issue, so we’ve seen some horrendous ones where you’ve just got mould covered everywhere, ceiling, cupboards, walls, doors, and people live there quite happily, but they do have health issues, but they’ve never put it down to the mould.”.
