Mould Removal

Service Description

Mould in a car can pose significant health risks if left unaddressed. The presence of mould can lead to various health issues, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions or weakened immune systems. Here are some reasons why mould in a car is dangerous for health: Allergic reactions: Mould releases spores into the air, which can trigger allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. Symptoms may include sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, and skin rashes. Respiratory problems: Inhaling mould spores can irritate the respiratory system and worsen existing conditions such as asthma or bronchitis. It may lead to coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and respiratory infections. Toxicity: Certain types of mould produce mycotoxins, which are toxic substances that can cause severe health problems if ingested or inhaled. Prolonged exposure to mycotoxins may result in neurological symptoms, fatigue, headaches, and even organ damage. Odor and air quality: Mould growth often produces a musty odor, which can be unpleasant and impact the overall air quality inside the car. Poor air quality can cause discomfort, dizziness, and headaches. To remove mould from a car, several steps can be taken: Identify and locate the mould-infested areas: Thoroughly inspect the car's interior, paying close attention to areas prone to moisture, such as the carpets, upholstery, trunk, and air conditioning system. Use a wet vacuum: A wet vacuum or steam cleaner can effectively remove mould from carpets, upholstery, and other fabric surfaces. Ensure proper ventilation during this process. Clean and disinfect hard surfaces: Wipe down hard surfaces like dashboard, door panels, and consoles with a mixture of water and mild detergent or an appropriate mould-killing cleaner. Scrub any visible mould growth and allow the surfaces to dry completely. Treat and protect plastics: Apply a mould-inhibiting cleaner or protectant specifically designed for plastic surfaces. This helps prevent future mould growth and restores the appearance of the plastics. Address air conditioning system: If the mould problem is associated with the car's ventilation or air conditioning system, it may require professional cleaning or servicing to eliminate mould spores and prevent their recurrence. The cost of a professional mould removal service for a car can vary depending on the extent of the infestation and the service provider. Prices can start from around £90
