A young mum claims she was told by her housing provider to use a powerful mould removal spray on her five-month-old baby's mattress.
Katie Carline, 18, recently left foster care to move into a new property with her baby and partner. The young family moved into their new home in January, but shortly after found the property was musty and discovered rat droppings in the bathroom.
"I viewed the house before Christmas and it looked clean but the day we moved in, it was musty,” Katie explained. “I didn't think to look in the cupboards but when I actually moved in I found rat droppings and rat traps under the bath."

"The mould wasn't visible at first,” she added. “Everything we didn't unpack we put in the baby's room, as she was in our room. We noticed the walls had water patches in the baby's room, they looked like they'd been sprayed with a hose."
Katie told the ECHO she was assisted in her new home in Walton, Liverpool by Bedspace, an organisation which specialises in supporting vulnerable people.
When she informed Bedspace of her concerns, Katie claims she was given a bottle of Cillit Bang Mould Removal Spray to help combat the issues. She then noticed the problem had spread to her furniture, including drawers she uses to store baby blankets and even her baby's mattress.
She said she was once again informed that using the spray on the items would help to get rid of the mould.
Katie added: "I started noticing damp on the drawers. I went to get a blanket and they're wet, smell damp and there's mould in there. I've had to move everything into the living room where it's not as bad."
