Professional mould removal - what has been your experience?

LionelNashe

I know a lot of people just remove it themselves, but on the other hand, when the professionals do it they're almost in full hazmat gear, so this makes me think that doing it myself is not necessarily safe. Also, I'll reluctantly pay for it if it's more likely to be gone for good.

Has anyone here paid to have a company come into a house or apartment and remove mould? Did that get rid of it permanently? What was the cost?

On the other hand, did you remove it yourself successfully, and how did this work out?

I'm talking about an area of about 4 square meters that's covered in a light-grey discolouration that's darker at the edges. I think it's mildew, but I don't know. There's definitely no hairy black circles that look like petri-dishes, if you know what I mean.

I've removed mould successfully from my bathroom, six times.

Cough cough cough.

You can remove it yourself always wear a mask . The suit is to protect your clothes from picking up mould. So wear one if you want or old clothes and wash them.

I have found HG mould remover excellent, but back is essential and old clothes/ gloves. It is very very strong!!

No company will guarantee it to be gone permanently. It is a natural occurring organism. If the conditions that caused it i, in the first place, persist, it will come back.
