Moulds in the House – Pink Mould

Toxic mould detection Comments are off

The first mould that we want to discuss in our series of ‘Moulds in the house’ is Pink Mould.

Aureobasidium and fusarium are among many kinds of pink mould.  Aureobasidium can actually be pink or black, and often occurs around damp window frames and on sealants in bathrooms.

On the other hand, Fusarium is a common species of fungus that is often found on houseplants. It can often be found in wet conditions on carpet, damp walls, wallpaper, polyurethane foam, humidifier trays. Fusarium can produce mycotoxins.

That’s why it’s a bad idea to carpet the bathroom. When the carpet gets damp it encourages moulds, like Fusarium, to grow. Mould in the bathroom can lead to respiratory problems, allergic reactions, rashes and skin complaints.

If you would like some more information about mould, visit our black mould pages page.

Or if you’d like to discuss your property or to arrange a consultation please get in touch with your nearest office of Peter Cox Property Services. or you can also book a home survey today or call 0808 273 2138  to talk to the experts and we’ll send a surveyor with local knowledge of your area.
