READ 13 CLEANING TIPS BELOW

Black mould is a type of fungus that can grow in homes, often in damp or humid conditions. Black mould can bring on many medical issues, including respiratory problems, skin irritation, headaches, and an allergic reaction to mould treatment using harsh chemicals like bleach in cleaning solutions.

What causes black mould?

Black Mould is frequently discovered in damp areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and concealed walls. In addition, window condensation is a significant issue in New Zealand homes. This is because most of our homes are rather humid, and most single-glazed windows produce moisture.

If you’ve ever had black mould in your home, you know how important it is to remove it as quickly as possible. Not only is black mould unsightly, but it can also be dangerous to your family’s health.

Why use Hydrogen Peroxide for removing back Mould?

Hydrogen Peroxide is a popular choice for treating mould because it is effective and safe. Unlike other mould treatments, hydrogen peroxide will not cause an allergic reaction. In addition, hydrogen peroxide is not toxic to humans or animals, so it is safe to use around the home. Hydrogen peroxide kills mould cells, preventing the mould from spreading.

Using Oxygen Plus regularly to wipe window seals and other surfaces around your home will not only kill and prevent mould spores and mildew but also reduce viruses and bacteria to improve the air quality in your home.

What are the health effects of black mould?

Black mould can cause black mould symptoms, including respiratory infections, allergic reactions, and asthma. Inhaling black mould spores can cause inflammation of the lungs and airways, leading to difficulty breathing. Black mold exposure can also produce toxins that cause neurological problems, such as headaches, memory loss, and fatigue. People with black mould poisoning may also experience skin irritation, nausea, and vomiting. If you think you have been exposed to black mould, it is crucial to see a doctor as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid serious health complications.
