How to get rid of mold on the walls. Personal experience: folk methods and specialized means

The root cause of such an unpleasant phenomenon as mold in the room is high humidity. When they were making repairs and faced with this problem, we decided to take all the necessary measures to eliminate it as soon as possible, since children live in the house.

First of all, they set about looking for the reasons that led to the appearance of micelles. It turned out that the roof was leaking and the whole corner and almost the entire wall were always wet.

Folk ways to fight mold on the walls

We decided to eliminate the mold with our own hands, using folk methods. We started by treating the room with a solution of ordinary table vinegar. To do this, we diluted it with water by half and treated all surfaces and the ceiling with gloves. For greater effect, you can additionally treat the surfaces with soda on top, but we decided not to do this.

To achieve the result as quickly as possible, we bought hydrogen peroxide and copper sulfate. 500 grams of vitriol powder was dissolved in 10 liters of water, pure peroxide was used. The resulting solutions were poured into a spray bottle and sprayed onto problem areas one by one. To remove the smell of dampness from the room, we decided to treat all surfaces, including tiles, window sills and windows.

Treatment of all surfaces

One of the most effective methods in the fight against mold is common laundry bleach. The one that contains sodium hydrochloride will do the best job. This is exactly what we bought. As experts say, its advantage is that it will rid the room not only of micelles, but also of spores, which are most difficult to remove. This method is relevant for tiles, glass, floors or walls that are covered with paint. Wallpaper or some other materials, under the influence of bleach, can lose their color and condition, so we did not touch them.

However, the desired result was not achieved, despite all the efforts and a rather long wait for the effect to come.

Specialized remedies for mold and mildew

We lost more than a month of time and decided not to experiment anymore and buy specialized products. In the hardware store, the consultant offered us the following drugs: "Metas - BIO", "NANO-FIX", "SCHIMMEL-ENTFERNER", "NEOMID Bio". We chose Metas - BIO. We processed the walls according to the instructions and finally got rid of the mold. We regret that we did not use professional tools right away.

Prevention advice

With normal humidity, the room temperature should not exceed 20-22 degrees Celsius. It is advisable that at least in one room the window is always open in ventilation mode. Observing all these rules, you can not worry about the recurrence of the problem in the house.
