This is why valeters charge more for mould..
* Health risk — mould spores can affect breathing and require PPE, ventilation, and careful handling.
* Time and labour — mould remediation often takes several hours, not a quick interior valet.
* Specialist chemicals and equipment — enzyme cleaners, anti-fungal treatments, ozone machines, steamers, extraction tools, etc.
* Repeat treatment risk — mould can return if moisture issues remain, so there’s extra responsibility and customer education involved.
* Material damage — mould can permanently stain fabrics, headliners, leather, and insulation, making the job harder and less predictable.
* Biohazard/disposal considerations — heavily contaminated materials may need safe disposal.
* Business risk — you’re exposing your staff, equipment, and workspace to contamination.
