Bathrooms are rooms with high humidity,How to Remove Mould from the Bathroom in the End of Tenancy Articles and mould very often chooses to establish there. This is a very unpleasant domestic problem, as it smells bad and might cause some health problems. Mould has to be treated as soon as spotted, but most people living on rent don't pay attention to it, and let it be.

A lot of tenants don't know how to remove mould and very often lose their security deposits in the end of their tenancy periods. The thing is, though, that this irritant can be very easily cleaned. Here are a few home-made cleaning solutions and a store detergent, which you can use for the purpose:

I will start with the detergent, as I won't talk much about it. Bleach is probably the most effective product against mould. The spores of the irritant disappear as soon as you spray them with this detergent. The thing is, though, that bleach is very dangerous and can also cause you health problems. That is why a lot of tenancy cleaning London specialists advise to wear a mask on your mouth and gloves on your hands when working with it. Be very careful!

I once read about a mould removing cleaning solution on the internet which was made of one cup hot water and quarter cup baking soda. You have to rub the mould-affected area with this solution, and to wipe it with a clean cloth soaked with hot white vinegar, afterwards. This is total nonsense. Not only the water will increase the levels of humidity and improve the living environment of the mould spores, but by rubbing the affected area you will spread the spores in the whole bathroom. Don't use this method!

The best natural mould remover, according to move out cleaners in London, is made of one cup hot white vinegar; ten drops eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, sandalwood or patchouli essential oil; and one tablespoon salt. Spray the affected area and the spores will disappear in a few minutes. If there are more stubborn spots, spray them again.

This is it. Don't leave the mouldy areas in your rented property to your landlord, but clean them by yourself. It doesn't take much time and efforts.
