After 4 weeks of rain every day i have some mould growing on the walls of my aviary's, what is the best and safest product to kill and remove the mould, can't remove the birds, the walls are painted fibro.

Funny I was just talking to my mum in Hervey Bay and they have the same problem , sheesh you folks up there need a break from the rain ...My parents are coming down here to get some sunshine anyhoo vinegar solution and baking soda seems to be the way to go , rinsed off of course .

If you google natural cleaning recipes theres quite a few ideas for removing mould safely ... heres a couple to get you started.

After thought , sometimes a scourer and weak detergent solution will be enough , I am assuming it is pretty bad given all the rain and the previous humidity .

To get rid of mould, I guess you can try as suggested, but to get rid of smell :irked: nothing can beat Hydrogen Peroxide. $3.50 per small bottle at your local Chemist.
