  • Just ripped our broken washing machine out and the walls are fucking black behind it. Best mould tips?

    If it's a room that isn't in constant use I'd be tempted to remove all the sources of moisture, seal the room as best as possible, then make it very, very dry with as you say a dehumidifier. Once it's been dry for long enough to prevent growth I'd consider how to remove the existing (and probably now dead) mould.

    Might not be achievable until you remove any sources of external damp though.

  • How long is long enough? I've just plumbed our shiny new washer in and after 2 weeks without one I want to get my moneys worth before I pull it all out again : )

  • Dunno. You'll find out how damp the room is pretty quick I'd imagine. You could still use it, but just try to keep its atmosphere as separate as possible from the rest of the place.
