Young mum told to use Cillit Bang on baby's mouldy mattress

A young mum claims she was told to use a powerful mould removal spray on her five month old baby's mattress.

Katie Carline, 18, has recently left foster care and was placed in a house in Walton in January 2023 along with her baby and partner. She told the ECHO: "I viewed the house before Christmas and it looked clean but the day we moved in, it was musty. 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."

Katie added: "The mould wasn't visible at first. Everything we didn't unpack we put in the baby's room, as she was in our room.
