Mould Help

Hi,


My wife this morning discovered quite a lot of mould growing on the bottom of our 4 month old son's crib as is pretty upset.


I'm aware that it's most likely condensation that is causing the issue, but has anyone had a similar issue and had someone help them sort out the cause of the problem?


I wouldn't even know if you need a handyman or a damp expert?


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam


We have the same in our flat due to a number of factors, sounds like condensation/ventilation. . I've purchased a dehumidifier which has helped greatly but also - and even on really cold days - I open a window slightly for a period of time to create some air flow. That and regular wiping down of the area.


From the sounds of it - I don't think you need a damp expert.


Hope that helps a bit.

Hi Adam,

How is the room ventilated? Do you have windows you can open? Is there central heating, is the room in a basement or a loft? Does the room border a bathroom? Lots of factors effect condensation but if the room is above ground, central heated and well ventalated then it's less likely to be condensation. A dehumidifier is really only needed if you can't ventalate. My experience is as the owner of a damp basement room with ensuite. We had a combination of damp through walls and condensation though mainly condensation. The best thing we did was to get a brilliant fan installed. Windows would have been better but not an option in a basement :(

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
