As humid and wet weather continues to impact millions of Aussies, you might find that your favourite jacket, shoes or even your walls are increasingly being covered with mould.

It's not just gross, it can also be a real risk to your health, especially if you or someone else in your home has asthma, or is vulnerable in other ways, so how can you safely remove it without further risking your wellbeing or just having a big dumpster fire?

The Quicky speaks to one woman who is concerned for her newborn baby as their house is being taken over by mould, an expert researcher who specialises in the fungi, and a professional mould remover to find out how to rid your home of it for good.
