Mould and mildew are both types of fungi that thrive in damp, humid environments, but there are some key differences between the two. Mould is typically thicker and has a fuzzy or slimy texture, while mildew appears as a thin, powdery layer often with a grey or white colour. Mould typically grows on organic surfaces like wood or fabrics and can cause structural damage to your home, while mildew is more common on surfaces like tiles or grout. Although mildew is generally less harmful than mould, it’s still essential to remove it to maintain good air quality in your home. Both mould and mildew can be removed using DIY cleaning solutions or by implementing proper ventilation and moisture control measures like using air purifiers, dehumidifiers, or exhaust fans.
