Best mould product that helps you protect your camping gear including caravans and canvas.

Mould remediation in caravans, campervans and RV's isn’t as simple as it might seem at first glance. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you could end up making the problem worse, rather than better. Here are five tips to help you approach mould remediation in your caravan successfully, with minimal disruption and no property damage.

What is mould?

Mould is a fungus, which can appear anywhere there is moisture and sufficient organic material present. It grows in many different colours and patterns, but mould commonly appears as greenish or black spots that may be fuzzy. When you see it in your caravan it may be time to act. Not only does mould smell bad, it can also cause health problems and damage to your caravan if left untreated.

How do you know you have mould?

Mould is a lot like a human fingerprint; no two types of mould are exactly alike. If you find or smell mould growing in your caravan, campervan or RV, it’s likely that there’s mould hidden in other places, too. It is important to remove all traces of mould before they can spread and get into areas where they are harder to reach.

To do so, you need to know how to identify mould and what to do if you discover it.

So how do you know if your caravan, campervan or RV has mould?

Here are some signs :

1. Black spots on your walls or ceiling – these could be tiny dots of mould or full-blown patches (mould grows best in dark places). The colour will depend on which type of mould you have – for example, green and blue are common colours with Stachybotrys species.

2. A musty smell – if you notice a musty smell coming from inside your caravan, it’s a good idea to investigate further. Mould can cause serious health problems, so it’s important to get rid of it as soon as possible.

3. Cracks in paintwork – mould loves damp areas like cracks in paintwork or wallpaper; once they start growing there, they can quickly spread throughout your caravan, campervan or RV.

4. Condensation on windows and walls – condensation is a sure sign of a damp area. If you notice it on your windows and walls, have a look to see if you can spot any mould lurking behind it.

5. Black marks on pipes and air vents – these are another common place for mould to grow (especially if you have an old caravan, campervan or RV).

6. Water damage to skirting boards and door frames – water damage is another good indicator that there’s probably mould lurking nearby.

What are the health risks of mould?

If left alone, mould can grow on virtually any surface. To make matters worse, mould is often impossible to see without a microscope, which means many mould spores can invade our caravans before we even realize they’re there. As a result, it’s important to be aware of mould’s potential dangers. Mould can trigger asthma, respiratory difficulties, eye irritation, constant tiredness and allergies; it may also cause short-term memory loss.

Eliminating mould from your caravan, campervan or RV.

There’s a misconception that removing mould and mildew from caravan interiors is incredibly expensive. But, by following a few simple steps and taking precautions beforehand, you can help eliminate mould from your caravan, campervan or RV and save money.

Here are 4 tips to help

1. Make sure your caravan, campervan or RV is well ventilated so that fresh air can circulate throughout. This prevents condensation from forming on interior surfaces, which is one of the primary causes of mould formation.

2) Clean your caravan, campervan or RV thoroughly after each use with the Mr Mould product.  This not only retards mould growth on the treated surfaces but also helps to remove existing mould.

3) Use a dehumidifier inside your caravan, campervan or RV, preferably one with an air ioniser. The ioniser helps to neutralise spores and any other allergens present in your caravan, campervan or RV so they cannot easily reproduce.

4) It’s a great idea to purchase an electronic – essential oils diffuser and regularly diffuse the Essential Shield Oil drops within the caravan, campervan or RV. This will assists with controlling mould ingress and keep the caravan shelling great and healthy.

5) Be sure to hire a professional to clean up the mould on interior walls and carpets if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself. Find an Essential Shield service agent.
