Show us your mould! What horrors lurk at the back of your fridge?

The One Show Team | 13:01 UK time, Monday, 11 May 2009

Thanks for sending in your photos of mould! Check back tomorrow for the gallery.

The One Show's George McGavin has been looking at mould, the microscopic fungi that's a common addition to the surfaces in our homes. In Slough, George identified the mould species that's plagued the Kassinen family bathroom for seven years.

It's time to come clean. Mould gets about. It's a rare home or workplace that's totally mould free. The picture, right, is of some mouldy porridge we found at the back of The One Show fridge (you'll be pleased to hear we now empty the fridge more often). If you think that your mould is more impressive or unusual, then send the photo in here.

But how do I get rid of my mould?

In the film, George explained that the moisture in the Kassinen's small, unventilated bathroom provides the perfect habitat for the species of mould and that specialist cleaning is not enough. If they want to get rid of it they'll have to fit an extractor fan, and re-grout the bathroom.
