Mould Cleaning and Removal toowoomba

Mould Removal Toowoomba

Focused on Cleaning are Toowoomba’s specialist when it comes to the cleaning of mould and removing mould spores. Cleaning of mould can be done by anyone as the mould fungus is the ‘plant’. The issue is the spores.


If the ‘plant’ still holds spores you are just spreading the ‘seeds’ around and if conditions were right to grow it in the first place it will come back again, but more than likely worse than it originally was.


This is because the spores are now in areas they weren’t before. As soon as you touch the wall it releases spores into the environment. The spores can stay airborne for up to 10 hours meaning they can travel anywhere in your house. Because of this we need to carry out the clean properly and in line with The Australian Standard for Mould Removal S520 . Don’t forget our mould and moisture inspections are free so make a time today by calling our team to book in for mould cleaning in the Toowoomba area.


How do we ensure that the potential for mould return is greatly decreased or eliminated?

We first complete an inspection, aiming to eliminate the source. This can be from a leak, a room with higher humidity, a leaky roof or blocked gutters. Once the source has been identified and dealt with we then set up Air Filter Devices and containments as we carry out the remediation. This machine filters the air removing spores. We also use scrubbers and HEPA vacuum the areas affected. We can provide air quality test and surface tape tests to measure our effectiveness. Treating areas post clean with anti fungal treatments can aid as well.

  • Will my house be spore free after this?

    Spores are a natural part of life and they are everywhere. Your house will have a level that is low to normal ecology. This means that the inside is like the outside. Once you open the door of a treated house it becomes equalised. The thing is now your house is not producing high levels of spores from mould growing in your house. Remember that most mould that grows in houses are those that produce allergies and in some cases Mycotoxin Poisoning.

  • What do Focused on Cleaning do that general cleaners don’t?

    • Conduct air quality and surface tape tests to see the count and genus of the mould.
    • Check for high levels of humidity and moisture in structures.
    • Analyse whether contents have been affected and formulate a plan to clean or dispose of.
    • Contain with plastic sheeting if necessary.
    • Start by setting up massive Air Filter Devices (AFD’s) and negative air systems if needed.
    • Remove the spores by vacuuming the surfaces with a special HEPA filtered vacuum (normal vacuums only sends the spores into the environment).
    • Clean mould off of surfaces with a non-bleach mould stain remover.
    • Apply a micro-mist of mould inhibitor to hinder any regrowth of mould.
    • Retest air and surfaces to confirm mould count has reduced and is at a normal ecology.

  • What costs am I looking at?

    The initial inspection to locate sources and check moisture $250 inc GST


    Air Quality Test inside and out $770 inc GST (min)


    Clean per room including Negative Air Contaminants, Air Filtration Devices, Labour, Products etc Approx $550 inc GST per room (based on a standard room with average mould coverage). Please note that most companies don't use air filtration machines to purify your home. This is most important for you and your families health. This does not include removal and disposal of any materials and cleaning of and treating of the frames.

  • What is the difference between Mould Cleaning and Mould Removal?

    Mould Cleaning is where the stain of the mould is removed. Unfortunately, this is carried out by most cleaning companies and does nothing more than move spores around. It is generally cleaned with Sodium Hypochloride which makes the issue invisible to the eye.

    Mould Removal is where the aim is to remove the mould spores. The HEPA  vacuum removes the spores from the walls and the AFD's remove remaining spores from the air. Reduction of spores means that you then reduce the reoccurance of it happening again. After the mould spores are removed it is then cleaned to remove the staining left from the mould.
