Not can only black spores make for an unsightly mess, the widespread fungi, as well as being exposed by dampness, can also have a negative impact on your health. The NHS warned that those particularly vulnerable are people with respiratory problems, respiratory infections, allergies or asthma, as well as newborns, young children and the elderly.

Being exposed to and inhaling the mould spores can cause a range of issues, such as sneezing, a runny nose, red eyes and even a painful skin rash. In some cases mould can also cause asthma attacks. With temperatures now plummeting, hundreds of Brits have been taking to social media to seek advice and share their top tips to tackle mould.
Amongst them was also mum Amanda Emerson, from Farnham, Surrey, who recently discovered that her white curtains were covered in dozens of black spots. According to Amanda, who also uploaded snaps of the damage caused by the mould in her house, the curtains were sitting against patio doors which were dripping wet with condensation.
''Any recommendations for getting mold out of curtains?'' she asked for tips in the post. ''Hoping to pop them in the washing machine.''. Luckily for Amanda - and anyone else on the lookout for similar tips - more than 50 members of the popular Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips flooded to comments where they offered a helping hand.
