Tasmania Resident Handbook (Feb 2024 Version)

If mould does appear in your property, treat it as soon as possible.

There are plenty of products available at the supermarket which will kill mould as well. Check the area daily after treatment and repeat if the mould returns. If you have ongoing issues or need more information to tackle mould, please contact your Housing Officer or call 1300 312 447 to report the issue.

Spray white vinegar onto the mouldy surface and leave it for an hour. Then wipe the area clean with water and allow the surface to dry - be sure to throw out the cloth afterwards! Any smell should clear within a few hours. While it’s safe to use on most surfaces, vinegar is unlikely to be effective at cleaning mould off soft surfaces.
