Mould is a common problem in many Houses and buildings, which not only affects the appearance of surfaces, but can also have serious consequences for the health and structure of the building. At Blue Clean Services, we are committed to providing effective mould treatment solutions. In this blog, we will explore in depth the causes and consequences of mould, and how you can prevent its occurrence. In addition, we'll tell you about the solutions our company offers, including our Fogging treatment to eliminate mould.
Causes of mould
Mould is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, poorly ventilated environments. The following are the most common causes of mould:
High Humidity: Relative humidity above 60% provides the ideal environment for mould to thrive. This may be due to humid climates or improper use of heating and air conditioning.
Water Leaks: Leaks in ceilings, walls, windows, or pipes can create hidden damp conditions perfect for mould growth. Even a small leak can create a significant mould problem if not addressed in a timely manner.
Condensation: Condensation occurs when warm, moist air meets cold surfaces, such as windows, mirrors and walls, forming water droplets. This is common in bathrooms and kitchens where hot water is frequently used.
Poor Ventilation: Lack of proper ventilation prevents moisture from dispersing, which can lead to mould. Enclosed spaces without air circulation, such as wardrobes and basements, are especially vulnerable.
Consequences of Mold
Mould is not only unsightly, it can also have several negative consequences for both the health and integrity of the property:
Health Problems: Exposure to mould can cause allergies, respiratory problems, skin and eye irritations, and aggravate pre-existing conditions such as asthma. Some people may experience symptoms such as nasal congestion, coughing and sneezing, while others may develop more serious lung infections.
Structural Damage: Over time, mould can weaken materials such as wood, compromising the structural integrity of the building. This can result in costly repairs, in extreme cases, the need to replace large sections of the affected structure.
Unpleasant Odors: Mould emits a characteristic and unpleasant odor that can permeate the space. This musty, moldy odor can be difficult to remove and affect the quality of life at home or comfort in the workplace.
Aesthetic Impact: Mould can stain walls, ceilings and other surfaces, creating black, green or brown stains that are difficult to clean and affect the appearance of the place.
Solutions Provided by Blue Clean Services
At Blue Clean Services, we offer a comprehensive treatment to eliminate mould and prevent its return. Our mold treatment service includes several detailed steps to ensure effective mold and spore removal.
Step 1: Fogging to Remove Spores
We use a fogging method that creates a mist capable of reaching all surfaces, ensuring that mould spores are deactivated. This treatment is:
Environmentally friendly: We use safe, non-toxic products that do not harm the environment.
Effective: Treats mould, odours, bacteria and viruses in a single process, ensuring a thorough and complete clean.
Fast and Efficient: The fogging process is fast and ensures spores are deactivated without the need for long waiting times.
No Bleach: Unlike other methods, we do not use bleach, which avoids damage to delicate surfaces and prevents allergic reactions.
Step 2: Mould cleaning
After letting the steam act for 15 minutes, we wipe the most affected areas physically, removing all mould spores and bacteria. This step is crucial to prevent the spores from spreading to other areas:
Surface Cleaning: All contaminated surfaces are cleaned, including walls, ceilings and furniture.
Vacuuming and Scrubbing: If necessary, affected areas are vacuumed or scrubbed to ensure thorough cleaning.
Waste Disposal: Contaminated waste and materials are disposed of in a safe manner to prevent re-contamination.
Step 3: Final Inspection
Upon completion of the cleaning, our qualified personnel will perform a final inspection of the work area to ensure the effectiveness of the process. A report will then be generated and sent to the client, including photographic Reports as a visual evidence of before and after treatment.
Our objective is to provide a quality service and ensure that you receive exactly what you expect.
Fogging Treatment
Our fogging treatment is fast and effective, without the use of bleach, ensuring no damage to delicate surfaces and no allergic reactions. In just two hours after our service, your property will be free of mould and odour.
Mould Prevention
To prevent mould, it is essential to maintain a dry and well ventilated environment. Some preventive measures include:
Repair Leaks: Any water leaks should be repaired immediately to avoid persistent damp conditions.
Ventilate Regularly: Make sure areas prone to moisture are well ventilated, using exhaust fans and opening windows whenever possible.
Control Humidity: Use dehumidifiers to maintain relative humidity levels below 60%.
Regular Inspection: Conduct regular inspections of your home or workplace to detect early signs of mould and address them before they become a major problem.
