Types of mould we remove
At Cleanse Force UK, we understand that different types of mould require tailored removal techniques. Our specialist mould removal service addresses a wide range of mould types, including:
- Acremonium (Powdery Mould): Acremonium often begins as a moist, sticky mould that transforms over time into a fine, powdery substance. It can appear in shades of white, grey, pink, or orange and commonly grows in areas with long-term moisture exposure, such as windowsills, air conditioning units, and humidifiers. Because of its potential to produce harmful toxins, prompt professional remediation is essential for health and safety.
- Cladosporium (Carpet/Fabric Mould): Cladosporium is an allergenic mould that thrives in both warm and cold environments. It often grows in carpets, upholstery, inside cupboards, and on fabrics. While it can sometimes appear light-coloured, it is typically dark green or brown. This mould is known to cause allergic reactions in sensitive people, making our remediation services critical.
- Trichoderma (Green Mould): Trichoderma usually appears white with green patches and is commonly found on damp surfaces like wallpaper, carpets, and walls. This allergenic mould can spread quickly if not treated, so professional removal is recommended to avoid further contamination.
- Aspergillus (Common Mould): Aspergillus mould can range in colour from white to green or black, depending on the specific species and environmental conditions. It often appears around damp areas and can cause severe health reactions, particularly for individuals with weakened immune systems. Prompt, professional removal is advised to minimise health risks.
- Aureobasidium (Pink/Black Mould): Also known as "black and pink mould," Aureobasidium frequently grows on wooden furniture, walls, and wallpaper. Its distinctive pink or black colouring makes it easy to identify, but it can cause allergic reactions if mishandled, so professional care is vital.
- Alternaria (Black/Green Mould): Alternaria is often found in bathrooms, kitchens, and other damp areas around the home. Sometimes referred to as "bathroom mould," it has a velvety texture and is typically dark green or black. This mould is known to aggravate asthma and allergies and requires thorough remediation to prevent recurrence.
Our trained specialists use targeted treatments and advanced equipment, such as dehumidifiers and air movers, to ensure complete removal, preventing spores from spreading to other areas of your home or business.
How Cleanse Force UK tackles mould
Our mould removal process is designed to address both visible growth and the underlying causes, such as damp and condensation. Our approach includes:
- Inspection and assessment: We conduct a detailed inspection of affected areas, identifying the mould type, the extent of spread, and the underlying causes such as moisture from leaks or poor ventilation. This ensures every source of mould is identified and addressed.
- Containment: Using containment barriers and negative air pressure systems, we isolate the mould to prevent spores from contaminating other parts of the property.
- Advanced remediation techniques: Our specialised equipment, such as dehumidifiers and air movers, not only removes mould effectively but also ensures a healthier indoor environment by addressing damp conditions.
Prevention advice: After remediation, we offer tailored advice to prevent future growth, including improving ventilation and maintaining optimal moisture levels in your property. This proactive approach not only stops mould from returning but also improves overall air quality.
