Clean it then

Why can't they sort it themselves you can buy products to remove mould

Bunch of Tories being Tories in the comments

I know someone who got asthma because of mould. I hope the problem gets sorted out for them. It's so disgusting

Clean it up then

Landlords should eat this mould!!! It’s called CORRUPTION and nothing more!! Old greedy disgusting people doing this and not standing for anything because they think already about death. System is rotten like this mould

Its called Bleach and a sponge and opening a window every now and then..

mould has nothing to do with the state of a building, mould is lifestyle, not ventilating rooms, drying clothes on radiators. its avoidable.. you just need education on the real reason mould is created in your home, instead of just pointing fingers at landlords.

3 Cs… - Cillit-Bang mould remover - Cleaning - Condoms

I lived in a house that literally had white fur growing on the hallway walls. I sprayed it with white spirit and wiped it away with a sponge. It never came back. Is there a journalist prepared to expose this secret cleaning method or you all working for Big Mould?

elonmusk is that you?

Buy some HG mould spray, its £5, when you see it spray it, dont let it spread, it is impossible to eradicate. Its like expecting the landlord to come round and clean the house, most councils do not attend properties if the tenant reports black mould.

Tell them to buy some dehumidifiers like everyone else does

Clearly the home is good enough for them to procreate given she's up the duff again. Peasants.

They could clean it, not whine😡😡

I have mould if you look on eBay you can get some mould remover it’s brilliant stuff I use it just spray on and wipe off 👍

The company are already moving you in the new year so why the crying to the media

Ever asked yourself why is the flat mouldy - what can we do about it and what are the responsibilities of the landlord and as a joint effort shouldn’t all parties be working to improve the situation so things improve

So let’s add a baby to the mix.

Get off the drugs, buy a vacuum cleaner, soap and a bucket and start cleaning.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Open the windows and scrub the mould with bleach. Do something. Then get a dehumidifier.

Of course they do!

Take them to court I am

The situation is so bad we decided to have another baby.

Rent somewhere else

I've had similar problems with my private property. I had to resolve and pay for solutions myself. Never thought about informing the national media 🤔

Most of the time its condensation. Use a fan even a small hand held type one in the area affect or by your windows and no condensation thus no damp thus no mould. Electric warm air heating in winter is the future.

Sad compo faces.

Try cleaning it.

A little controversial probably but Mould Spray works a treat 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wash it off then!!

How about reporting on the homeless and how no accommodation is available for them but there are 4 & 5 star hotels available if you come into the UK illegally…

Clean the house you dirty slobs. B&Q mould spray. Ever thought of airing out the rooms.

Bit of bleach in warm water will sort it out. Hardly headline news you sighs

A little light housework seems to solve the problem - read it on the interweb..

If only they’d waiting until they were adults with secure jobs and good prospects before deciding to start a family life might have been so very different

Elon Musty

Bet they fear their benefits being late even more ….lazy sods,roll your bone idle sleeves up ,get some bleach and water and clean it off!! You’d rather just sit on your lazy arses and wait for someone else to do it

Bleach and a good clean would sort that ,,

Mould and mildew remover , anti mould paint £15 - £20 open a window regularly. Contractors won’t work in a shithole stop being lazy. All of the above will improve will have an impact on this situation.

Is that Elon?

is this really news..pathetic

He looks like Elon

If a landlord they don't have to live there; move. Seems they want a better house but not pay for it. I doubt if they do the repairs they don't expect to pay more rent for it. yes it would be nice; but why is it a cheap rent; because its a hovel. Nothing is free unless a migrant

They’ve only got themselves to blame

Landlord must fix the house you can clean as much you can but it will never ends so stop trolling here with images of bleach you trolls

It not right that Landlords do not look after their properties BUT if you're so unhappy about the conditions you live in why on earth would you bring children into the equation...just absolutely stumps me

Just cleen mold?

Mouldy Old Dough.

Condensation/damp air in homes causes it. Don't put items in corners of room, especially windows. Wipe condensation from windows daily. Use anti-mould spray or bleach.

The social living habits are a lot to blame, pin mould only grows on pure water, condensation is caused by poor ventilation, room needs to be heated enough to evaporate water which needs to be vented out of the windows or extractors. Open trickle vents on windows

Live in a shit hole worried about young child! I know let’s have another child we cannot support! Zero personal responsibility

Mouldy Coventry flat or a flat in mouldy Coventry?

Everyone's on the 'band wagon'...since it it was in the tabloids that sadly a little boy died...due to mould in his bedroom

Could always get a job I suppose.

Gets a flamin jobs xxxA

Wtf is wrong with people try and clean ffs

Dole bums!

Why would you bring another baby into that ? Some personal responsibility is required too.

Clean it

Lived in a mouldy flat for two years and have now decided to have two children in quick succession? Get a job and you'd be able to move out rather than using your children as pawns in your benefits game, BrokenBritain

Who cares , migrants need the better flats

If they stand in front of a mirror and say 'mould and mildew cleaner' 3 times, Candyman will appear and make it magically vanish. Before he rips their faces off.

The comments here didn't disappoint 😂🤣

Why bring more kids into it

Get some mould killer stuff from B and Q and rub as much mould off as possible.

How could Elon just leave his brother in squalor like that?

“They said they kept their baby in the middle of the room to protect her from fungus but Latisha was pregnant again.” Some people you just can’t help.

If you fear for your health for the past 2 years and already have a baby why would u get pregnant again? I know people will scream its their human right but some common sense too!

Elon Must

I suppose they could always move?

open a f king window, even in these temperatures

🙄

Should probably try cleaning it

They do not look like the healthiest individuals I've seen this morning. Maybe lay off the I ready meals and the fags and go out and do some press ups in the mud.

As would I if I lived in Coventry, my condolences
