- Mould is a serious health hazard after a flood
- Killing it can be tricky when dealing with flood-affected furnishings
- One mould expert says walls and plaster must be treated as well
"I was watching the news the other night and I was having a cold sweat because I was seeing all these people with no shoes on, no gloves on, just pushing away the mud,"he said.
"And I had to say to them, 'I'm really sorry but that plaster that you've got in the wall cavities is full of pathogens and full of water, and that will go mouldy and you can't leave it there'."
"Bleach doesn't kill mould, it actually just discolours the mould and makes the surface look clean,"he said.
