Although it is a good idea to start with gentler, natural remedies, on stubborn areas of mould, a stronger solution may be required. (Image credit: Getty) 2. Vinegar could be your best friend

Knowing what sort of mould you have in your property can help you to treat it — either by yourself or with help from a professional," says Chris Michael, Managing Director at Meaco. "The climate in the UK, with its colder, wetter autumns and winters, means that many properties can find themselves dealing with mould. And that’s particularly true in older properties that might not be well enough ventilated." Excess humidity: Too much humidity causes damp — and damp causes mould. Aim to reduce the moisture in any rooms harbouring mould. A dehumidifier is a good investment in rooms with condensation and damp problems.A paste of vinegar and baking soda can work wonders on mouldy grout. (Image credit: Getty) 4. Use bleach — with care Our light hardwood is both a light weight and strong timber which is easy to work with and a good, natural lustre. Because of its strength to weight ratio and relative inexpensive price the light hardwood is a solid choice for a wide range of uses. Do take care when using some of the more potent formulas and open windows to get some fresh air flowing through the room. Depending on the product, it is often necessary to leave the solutions to get to work for a while before wiping them away. Baking soda fights bacterial growth," confirms Chris Michael. "All you need is a spray bottle, some lukewarm water and around 1/4 tablespoon of baking soda. Fill the bottle, add the soda and shake well. Then use as you would a dirt remover spray."

The main disadvantage of this method is the chip shop odour that is likely to be left behind, although this will fade after a time. Again, this is a method best suited to mild cases of mould. 3.

"So make sure you clean regularly, paying particular attention to areas where you think mould might become a problem" First, because mould can be nasty, and because some of the products to deal with are strong, it’s important to wear gloves when you clean. You might also want to wear a face mask so that you don’t breath any of the mould in. This is particularly important in areas with a lot of mouldy growth," advises Chris Michael. 1.

If you fancy giving this method a try, wear gloves and old clothes and keep children and pets well away. Mix one part bleach to four parts of water," says Chris Michael. "Be careful where you clean with bleach though. Unsurprisingly, it will lighten or even remove the colour of painted walls or wallpapers, so best to use it on grouting, tiles and bathroom fittings." 5.
