Mould Removal Products That Actually Work in Australia

Hardware stores sell dozens of mould removal products, but most are just repackaged bleach or surfactants. Here’s an evidence-based guide to what actually works — and what’s a waste of money.

Products That Work (for small DIY jobs) White vinegar (undiluted): Kills ~82% of mould species, safe on most surfaces, penetrates porous materials Clove oil solution (1/4 tsp per litre of water): Natural anti-fungal, effective and long-lasting 70% isopropyl alcohol: Excellent for hard, non-porous surfaces Concrobium Mould Control: Crushes mould spores as it dries, EPA-registered Products to Avoid Bleach on porous surfaces: Whitens but doesn’t kill deep mould Sugar soap: Cleans the surface but no anti-fungal action Exit Mould (on porous materials): Same limitation as bleach When Products Aren’t Enough No product fixes the moisture source. If mould covers more than 1 sqm, is on plasterboard or carpet, or keeps returning, professional remediation is needed.
