Single mother tackles mould issues in housing association home
A single mother of four, Chloe Busby, has been dealing with severe mould in her housing association home. She recently shared updates about the repairs on her TikTok account, @lifewiththebusbys. The housing association has started to fix the issue by removing her entire bathroom. In her video, which has received over 26,000 views, Chloe showed the state of her home after the bathroom was taken out. There were signs of mould on the walls, and the space looked smaller with no fixtures. A dehumidifier has been running to reduce moisture in the room. Chloe expressed her frustration that old bathroom fittings were being saved instead of replaced with new ones. Many supporters commented on her video, glad to see the much-needed repairs happening. However, one critic told Chloe she should pay for the repairs herself instead of spending money on personal care. In response, Chloe explained that her small expenses for nails and lunch don't compare to the costs of home repairs. Chloe mentioned that repairs will also include replacing some windows in her home. These changes are expected to help prevent future mould issues. Meanwhile, experts comment on common habits that can lead to mould growth in bathrooms, such as leaving wet towels on the floor and not using exhaust fans.
