This comes after a DIY expert recommended a £22 DIY buy that could help you avoid a mould outbreak in your home.
A mould outbreak is caused when there is a high level of moisture in the air and infestations can often begin with condensation.
Matters can be made worse at this time of year by a lack of sufficient ventilation, as people are less likely to open their windows when it’s chilly outside.
Not only is this toxic fungus unsightly and notoriously hard to get rid of, it is also harmful to your health.
It can potentially cause skin conditions and respiratory complications.
“One simple hack involves you purchasing some ‘mould-resistant paint’,” said Thomas Goodman from trades matching site, MyJobQuote.co.uk.
“It can be a great way to help prevent mould growth on areas such as windowsills.”
At The Range, you can pick up a 750ml tub of Ronseal anti-mould matt paint for just under £22.
At Wickes, a 2.5l tub of ‘mould protect’ emulsion paint costs £25.
Thomas said: “Anti-mould paint contains fungicides that can effectively create a barrier to stop the fungus from growing.”
It can be especially effective in high-moisture places such as bathrooms and kitchens.
