Cleaning Method:

 

1. Make sure you have made a ventilated area by opening a window or door. Test a small area of your wall with an amount of the HG Mould & Mildrew spray to ensure there isn’t a corrosive reaction to the bleach in the spray.

 

2. After a few minutes if you don’t see a reaction spray the affected wall where the mould is appearing with a layer of the HG Mould & Mildew remover. (Be sure to protect any carpet or flooring from the spray dripping down off the wall with an old towel or cloth.) Leave for 30 minutes.

 

3. You should see that the mould and mildew has started to disappear. Take your cloth and soak in the hot water, ring out and wipe away any remaining mould and mildew. Repeat this step until all mould and mildew has been cleared.  Pro Tip: “Make sure you don’t use too much water on your cloth to prevent the paint or wallpaper from bubbling on your walls.”

 

4. Leave to dry and make sure the area stays well ventilated until completely dry

 

5. Mould and mildew successfully removed!
