It’s not the families that have mould, it’s the houses
Don’t worry the uk government is working to ensure that we all have mould when none of us can afford to turn the heating on
What are the common causes of mould in property? Crappy housing stock with no damp proofing?
It’s the occupants that are the issue, this isn’t an issue in non social housing.
What can anyone do about mould?
I’m a home owner – I religiously track and try to control my humidity and I still get mould. I eradicate the mould quickly and completely and it comes back.
It’s just one of those things that we have to live with in certain types of housing? All of my friends I have discussed this with have the same issues.
When working in social housing there is a big problem with tennants closing trickle vents and pulling fuses out of extractor fans as they “use electricity”
Most of these people are probably thick as pig shit
All houses have mould. All of them.
The trick is controlling it.
Also, despite the media hysteria, most mould is harmless provided you keep it under control. Hell, mould spores are pretty much everywhere all the time. Right now you’re breathing them in and out.
I’ve lived around mould my entire life and in council homes for most of my life. I suspect it’s the reason I’m chronically ill. It’s the reason I don’t even have a bedframe and I just sleep on a mattress on the floor, because the mold in our council home would grow on my bedframe and anything else made of wood constantly.
I don’t think this is just a social housing thing, me and a few of my friends are renters and have been in properties with mold problems, landlords do just paint over it.
I’d argue more than half in private rented accommodation as well. Our bathroom is crawling with it, I have to go get up with a ladder and wipe the ceiling down with bleach every month. Our landnonces solution is just *”shower with the door open”*.
