This is why we use ACX on exhaust fans. 👀

This bathroom had fans venting into the roof cavity, creating the perfect environment for moisture and mould.
After upgrading the fans and venting them properly outside, we coated the fan barrel, housing and ducting with ACX to help break the mould growth cycle.
As I’ve said before, ACX does NOT kill mould. And we don’t want it to. We remove mould.
When applied correctly, ACX helps interrupt the mould growth cycle, helping prevent mould from continuing to grow.

If you have ducted air conditioning, check this NOW.
I see ductwork installed incorrectly ALL the time.
❌ Sitting on insulation
❌ Poorly sealed
❌ Held up with string or wire
❌ No airflow around the duct
❌ Condensation + mould as a result

Your ductwork should be properly sealed, insulated and suspended with airflow around it.
This is Ducted Aircon 101… but so many installations get it wrong. 👀
What’s hiding above your ceiling?

This ad is utter nonsense, but I see similar ones far too often.

“Point and shoot” and the mould disappears?

It doesn’t work like that. Mould doesn’t just disappear because you sprayed something on it.

I honestly can’t believe this stuff is still being advertised.

Think mouldy flexible ducting can be cleaned? Think again.

Those spinning brushes and whips you see advertised can’t properly clean the ridged inner liner, and they can even damage it.

If flexible ducting is contaminated with mould, replacement is often the better option.

Don’t believe everything you’re sold. 👀

Ditch the dry duster

Instead of using a dry duster, which can simply redistribute dust and spores into the air, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth with just 2-3 drops of dishwashing liquid in filtered or demineralised water.

Less is more. Don’t add lots of detergent. Excess soap can leave behind a residue (biofilm) that mould spores and other microorganisms can adhere to.

As you clean, keep folding your microfiber so you’re always using a fresh section. Use one cloth per room, then dry the surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.

This method is designed for hard, wipeable surfaces. Use your judgement when cleaning delicate, porous, or moisture-sensitive materials, as they may require a different approach.

Using the right technique helps remove particles instead of simply redistributing them.

Mould back in your AC after just 2 weeks… even after a top Aussie company cleaned it? 😳

This is why ACX I’m so passionate about applying ACX, so this doesn’t continue to happen. Used correctly (and even better if professionally cleaned the right way—yes, I teach that in my course), you get 6–12 months with no hyphal fragments or fruiting bodies or exactly what this client experienced so quickly!

I had such a great chat with Alexx from Low Tox Life about mould, CIRS and the things I wish everyone knew about keeping their home mould free. 🎧

Have a listen!

The wall looked perfectly clean in normal light.
Then we turned on a $20 UV torch… 👀

This is exactly why I tell people to arm themselves with knowledge. A simple UV torch can reveal patterns you would otherwise never know were there.

More things than you probably want to see… but some things you really need to. 🔦

Let’s talk about essential oils.

Clove oil. Tea tree oil. Eucalyptus oil.

Every week, people tell me they’ve been spraying essential oils around their home to deal with mould.
Then they wonder why the mould is still there... or why it’s even worse.

Mould isn’t going to pack its bags and leave because you sprayed clove oil on the wall.

You’re not removing the moisture source.
You’re not removing the contamination.
In fact, you’re often adding moisture to the environment and leaving behind oily residues that can provide a biofilm for mould to grow in.

So when people ring me and say, “I’ve been using essential oils for months and now there’s mould everywhere,” I’m never surprised.

The vinegar crowd won’t like this... 👇

Studies show vinegar won’t touch many of the moulds commonly found in water-damaged buildings, including Aspergillus, Stachybotrys (“black mould”), Chaetomium and Ulocladium.

Yet somehow the answer to every mould problem online is:
“Just spray vinegar on it.”

If vinegar was the solution, professional remediators would be turning up with buckets of it.

They don’t.

It’s also worth remembering that cleaning vinegar is not suitable for many common household surfaces. Carpet, timber, metals, natural stone, grout, certain tiles, vinyl flooring and many other materials can be damaged or affected by acidic products.

The best use for cleaning vinegar?
Fish and chips. 🐟🍟
