Mould can and does have a serious impact on people's health, it simply is something that no one should be living with.

So why can toxic mould have such a profound impact on people’s health?

Toxic mould produce Mycotoxins, some people have no or little reaction to them and others can suffer serious health issues, sometimes very rapidly.

The most common toxic mould symptoms and health effects are associated with a respiratory response. Chronic coughing and sneezing, irritation to the eyes, mucus membranes of the nose and throat, rashes, chronic fatigue and persistent headaches can all be symptomatic of black mould exposure.

Having surface mould located in the home is quite easy to identify, but it is important to be aware that you do not necessarily need to see visible mould for it to be having an impact on your health.

Mould is transmitted through the air, if you can smell that musty/mouldy smell then there is every chance you have mould in the home.

For many years people have turned to bleach having been told it kills mould. This is far from the case. Bleach only hides the problem, if you wish it gives it a blonde job, making it appear it is gone! The use of such harsh chemicals is not at all desirable in the home.

The Mr Mould products are powered by a specific blend of five therapeutic grade essential oils; Lemon Eucalyptus Rosemary Cinnamon and clove.  Prevention and education are key.
