Can Mould on Windows Make You Sick?

If mould is allowed to accumulate, it will undoubtedly look pretty revolting - but does that necessarily mean it’s unhygienic, or even dangerous? For asthmatics and those suffering from allergies, the answer is a definite yes. Mould reproduces by releasing microscopic spores into the air. If there’s enough mould on your window sill from condensation, then you’ll have a problem. Even for those of us who aren’t affected by asthma, exposure to mould can lead to irritation of the eyes, skin, and lungs. The impact of prolonged exposure to mould is even more severe. For this reason, use a mask and gloves while you’re cleaning it up, and ensure that the area is well-ventilated. On that note, let’s look at how to clean mould off window frames and sills.
