Screwfix marketing flier handed over with the bootlaces I just bought. Ten products on top pages, "Everything you need to prevent mould and damp".

How many of the ten are snakeoil?
How many are actively harmful?
Can you spot where they're trying to get in ahead of the penny dropping for small scale private landlords about #AwaabsLaw ?

Send SAE for details of my eccentric hobbyhorse -- that the only solution to the UK's housing crisis being to compulsorily purchase and demolish millions of buildings - pretty much everything older than 75 years - and replacing them with safe, climate-proofed, properly insulated, energy efficient replacements!

UPDATE: Okay, I'm officially chickening out on attempting to clean my #Brita #filterbottle well enough to ensure there is no more mould contamination.

As this design has otherwise met my needs and I already have several unused filters and new, uncontaminated silicone mouthpieces en route, I am going to suck it up and buy a new bottle, but add it into the rigorously-clean-each-compent cycle I do with my #CPAP.

Still, #ick. 🤢

NGL, discovering pink and black mould today makes for a BAD day. The silicone mouthpiece is so contaminated I cannot even wash this crap off, even after soaking.

Gross, and it can't be healthy at all.

Thank goodness the filter straw portion actually became visibly contaminated, or I would still be blissfully unaware of this vile mixture I am straining water through as I drink.

🤢🤢🤢

I did one window yesterday, no condensation today. Just doing the other bedrooms now.

I have a wet vac for windows (and open when I can) and dehumidifiers, but it’s exhausting going round to check/dry//empty/switch on. So hoping this helps.

I also have reflective panels to put behind the radiators…exciting. Can’t afford to put it in, but I’m ready when I can 😂

#Blackmould tends to get more attention as the most dangerous type but that is not necessarily always the case. There is also white mould, pink mould, and green mould. Importantly, all types are #allergens
Little update on my leaky roof situation. Renting is the absolute worst. I literally can't use my kitchen or stay in my flat at the moment. #landlords #roguelandlords #renting #blackmould #worthing 😩
