Re: Mould Spores & Health!
HiThere are such things as humidistat fans.
These are often specified in legal notices served on landlords to control condensation and mould growth.
The legal notices also often specify that they should be set at not more than 60% Relative Humidity, as below this level condensation is controlled.
Loads on the market, not an expert on them, but this one works.

Re: Mould Spores & Health!
I feel a bit sorry for landlords on these things, in 42 flats about half have damp and mould problems, the residents blame the landlord, the council, but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see only flats affected are never open to the air, they keep windows closed at all times. Those of us without the problem have windows open as much as we can.27-04-2017, 02:39 PM

Re: Mould Spores & Health!
Uncle Joe....I've sprayed WD40 over the mould and, since doing that, it's not spread out, again. I was marking the hardboard tank cover with a felt pen and the mould outgrew 2 of those marks. Once the WD40 was in place, all over the mould, the mould stood still! I swear to Mr God...WD40 must have around 130 uses!

Ian matey, yes WD40 may have stopped it spreading any further - at least for a while, but that hasn't got rid of it!!! you need to thoroughly sterilize it properly !!!
