Port Stephen
After flooding and while rain persists, you may find mould in your home or vehicle. Mould spores are carried in the air and may cause health problems if inhaled by people who are sensitive or allergic to them.
While it’s been almost two months since the flooding our region experienced, we know the clean up effort can take so much longer.
If you decide to remove mould yourself, open windows where possible and wear rubber gloves, eye protection, suitable shoes and a face mask before cleaning.
* To clean mouldy surfaces, use mild detergent or vinegar mixed with water (4 parts vinegar to 1 part water).
* For stubborn mould, use bleach mixed with water (250ml of bleach in 4 litres of water).
* Carpet may need to be professionally cleaned or replaced.
