Most of your ideas sound good. But slightly risky with an 11 month old child around. However, I read that you shouldn't use bleach. Maybe that was just for black mould. Clove oil and t-tree oil in cheap white vinegar. Also pour bicarbonate of soda over the areas bicarb and put a few drops of essential oils on there. Again though, care needs to be taken that a baby or pet doesn't get to touch it.

Hi again OP. I am a Clinical Aromatherapist, I always use cheap, natural cleaning by mainly using Bicarb, white vinegar, salt, essential oils. Asian wholesalers usually sell bulk bicarb, and white vinegar.
A 5L of white vinegar costs me £2.50 and a 5kilo tub Bicarb is £9.50....Just as well, I use lots of it. Better than breathing in the fumes from toxic chemical spray bleaches, and naturally removes odours.
A spray bottle with water, essential oils and small amount of vinegar, shake before each use. Cleans the air, better and far more pleasant than that horid synthetic air freshners. Any q's just U2U me.
So glad to hear that you are getting together with your neighbors to fight this. You and your families health is of utmost importance. I hope you get somewhere nice to live with your baby. Let us know how you get on.edit on 24-11-2011 by maya27 because: Hit wrong key.

Had the same problem, I great quick fix is a quick scrub with bleach then mix PVA glue (the kids cheap stuff) with water and then 'paint' it over the areas.
I did this and it held of for quite a bit. I know its not always possible to move straight away and this should solve it for under a fiver.
Good luck
(Just to add, bit obvious but dont do this on the carpets - if you can borrow a dehumidifier that will help a little too).edit on 24/11/2011 by LestatG because: (no reason given)
