Mold on the walls or ceiling is a serious problem that can be faced both in an apartment and in a private house.
Mold in the living room appears due to a number of factors. For example, the walls freeze, the room is poorly heated, or the house has high humidity. Major repairs are usually required to fix these problems. But what to do if there is absolutely no way to make repairs?
We wrote earlier about how to remove mold from windows. Now let’s figure out how to get rid of mold in the house.
How to get rid of mold on the walls in a private house
The most common way to combat mold is ordinary table vinegar. It is used undiluted. Apply vinegar to the affected area and let it dry completely. After that, it should be washed off. Repeat the procedure several times.
Importantly. Of course, you can use vinegar to fight mold in the apartment. The main rule is to ventilate the room well.
How to get rid of mold with chlorine
How to get rid of the smell of mold and the mold itself in one fell swoop? Use “Whiteness”. This tool is sold in all hardware stores and supermarkets. Its smell is usually pungent, but it perfectly disinfects and whitens the surface.
Treat the infected area of the wall or ceiling with chlorine bleach, then rinse. As with vinegar, this manipulation must be done several times.
Importantly. When working with chlorine, be sure to use protective gloves and ventilate the room well.
How to get rid of black mold on the walls
Hydrogen peroxide will help if the area infected with mold is small. Unlike the previous two products, this one is odorless.
Apply hydrogen peroxide for 10-15 minutes. Then wipe the infected area with a brush, scraper or cloth. Wash with clean water.
