Using specialised mould removing solutions may not be the cheapest solution (relatively speaking, compared to other easily available household solutions, like bleach), but it is definitely one of the most effective solutions. It’s my preferred choice, because they’re only designed to do one thing- kill mould.
I’m going to discuss a particular anti-mould solution called Polycell Mould Remover (I believe it was formerly called Polycell 3 in 1 mould killer) in this article, simply because I’ve used it successfully in the past.
Advantages to using Polycell Mould Remover
- Powerful fungicide that kills and removes mould

Buy product
Polycell Mould Remover is available to purchase for approximately £10.00 from a variety of online venders like Amazon (affiliate link) and supermarkets and local DIY stores.
Of course, there are dozens of other similar products available on the market – pick your preference.
Side note, make sure you get a mould “killer” if you want to remove mould, and not just a stain remover.
Safety
It is advised to wear the necessary protective clothing when using this product, such as safety gloves and glasses. Always keep room well ventilated when using solution.
Read the instructions carefully on the bottle for a complete guide.
Prevention
Once your mould colony is treated, it is important to understand that it grew for a reason in the first place. Mould grows due to environment conditions, and in order to prevent the infestation from developing again, some changes may need to be made to your home and/or habits.
Please remember that prevention is the best cure for mould, so please take time to understanding why mould occurs and how you can prevent mould from occurring.
