i recently had an extention to my house with a cement floor - floor took a few days to dry out , ever since i have had a 'sort of' mould appearing on my wooden shelves/furnature inother rooms - it looks like a fine cement dust - which i wipe away with a weak bleach solution - but appears again 2 weeks later - mainly on my wooden furnatur/shelves, no where else. what can i use on it? getting fed up of wiping it every 2 weeks
any hints appreciated

Hello!
You may have a humidity problem? If you get rid of any dampness then there shouldn't be any way for the mould to grow, but I am anything but an expert.
Hope that helps. Also, the mould may lead to bugs. I think some bugs eat the mould. Possibly like the very annoying little white ones I had!!

Are you sure it is not just cement dust. This can keep appearing for weeks afterwards.

I too thought this, didn't want to say as thought it was Toooooooooooooooo obvious.Should the cement not be sealed/covered, you can buy special floorpaint we used it to seal our garage floor,no dust. Smile

When we had our bathroom plastered, we got plaster dust in there for months even after the walls had been sealed and tiled! I don't know why, but it just kept making dust. Maybe it is the same for your cement floor.
