Mould can be a very scary occurrence in any household. Even more so, it can cause respiratory illness in some, though fortunately not as severe as to cause death - like something out of a science fiction light-hearted horror short film! Below are some of the most effective methods to take on a bad mould growth in the home. Most of these we have tested, and some we simply believe will do the trick! These tips are simple enough, and are designed to be performed by anybody in the share-house. No HAZMAT suit needed!
Vinegar is truly the most effective way to get rid of mould...temporarily. Yes, though this perplexing solution can be considered nature's natural cleansing agent, it may not be the most solid and permanent solution to a problem such as this, but it sure will be effective temporarily. Simply follow these steps for an (again, temporary) fix.
1. Decant equal parts vinegar and water into Spray bottle.
2. Screw spray lid tight and apply face mask.
3. Spritz vinegar solution generously onto affected area.
4. Use chux cloth to wipe vinegar solution into mould growth. Apply pressure when wiping.
5. Mould should start to dissipate with wipe motion. Spritz further if needed.
6. Be sure to dispose of cloth immediatley after usage.
Though this poisonous solution might more so be used for fabric stains, this liquid utensil has a vast amount of purposes. However one must confer with their landlord or owner before using this method. Not only is bleach highly toxic, but it could be said that it's TOO EFFECTIVE, so may cause damage in the home. But ask yourself: do you really want to live with a mould problem that could be detrimental to your health? Or would you rather use literally over-effective means as to get rid of it? You decide. If you've made the correct decision, follow these steps:
1. Twist open cap of bottle of bleach.
2. Launch bottle toward affected area and ensure bleach splashes harshly onto it.
3. Place lid back on bottle as to avoid toxic olfactory poisoning.
4. Place foot (wearing enclosed shoe) on the bleach-drenched-mould-area and rub sole against it. The mould will start to teleport to a different dimension.
Anyone who has seen Over The Hedge (2006) will know that exterminators can at times be effective, but also at times be stung harshly by the DEPELTER TURBO. This can also be said for exterminators hired to get rid of mould. They are an expensive but effective remedy for instances such as these. Unfortunately, we here at PimpYourSharehouse.com don't actually know what the exterminator might do to get rid of your horrible mould problem, so we cannot (in good conscience) give you the methodical steps here. After all, that's the service you would be paying handsomely for if you were to pursue this method.
Now we get into the good stuff. Remember I mentioned that there were some steps we believe in but not actually tested? These are them. I must concede though, use these as ONLY a last resort. If you have tried the previous tips at home, but have not yet achieved the result you were looking for, then read on.
You might think these laughable at first, but I assure you, you may be in such dire straights that you have no choice but to read on. Upon reflection, I really don't see how launching a bottle of bleach at an infected area DOESN'T seem to remedy your issues...like what more do you want? I mean, you could always try throwing a second bottle...but I digress, give these a try and let me know how you go.
After all, you're the one testing these methods for ME, as in, you're literally doing my job for me. I mean next thing we know, you'll be writing this godforsaken blog post. I'll hand my resignation in to Joseph as soon as you give me these results (and of course sign your Volunteer Agreement Form) so that he can use this website as a prop on set, where the character Matt simply reads the words on this page. 'Meta', no?
