Mould is a type of fungi that are naturally occurring organisms playing a major role in the earths ecosystem.
Mould grows best in damp and poorly ventilated areas, and reproduces by making spores.
Moulds are present virtually everywhere, indoors and outdoors and can grow in and on materials such as food, furniture, fabrics, carpets, walls, paper, timber and plumbing.
HOW DOES MOULD GROW?
Mould growth occurs when there is a water source (food source) or moisture present in an environment with limited or no sunlight.
Building materials such as gyprock, wood, carpet and other household or residential material that are exposed to moisture in an indoor environment provide an ideal place for mould growth to occur.
