Mold in your home is always a nuisance. In addition to worsening the appearance and aesthetics of the room, mold is also harmful to human health, since it contains a lot of pathogenic fungi that are inhaled with air. Getting rid of greenish dark spots is not so easy, but with a lot of effort and some effort, it is still possible. Most often, this fungal formation appears in the bathroom, basements and living rooms with poor ventilation and high humidity.<\/p>\n
Why is mold dangerous in a wooden house? It is known that the spores of this fungus are contained in ordinary air with dust, but are in a passive state. Favorable conditions such as heat and humidity activate them. When spores land on a damp wood surface, they begin to multiply and germinate rapidly. This happens when the air humidity is set in the room, reaching 95% or more at a temperature of + 20 degrees.<\/p>\n
Humidity increases with frequent washing and drying clothes in the house, due to uneven heating of the room, the presence of animals, plants and insufficient ventilation of the rooms. For the human body, it is fraught with such consequences as the occurrence of allergies, stomatitis, headaches, thrush, skin dermatitis and other diseases, so the timely elimination of mold is necessary.<\/p>\n
On how to get rid of mold in the house, there are a lot of useful tips and folk remedies. Modern manufacturers of household chemicals also took care of creating drugs that remove this fungus. Experts say that it will not be possible to completely get rid of this trouble in the house, because if the cause is not eliminated, the mold will form again, and all chemicals and cleaning products will only temporarily eliminate it. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to identify the cause of the occurrence of the fungus and eliminate it. For example, if it is damp in a wooden house, you should try to make the air drier.<\/p>\n
High humidity in a wooden house is considered one of the main reasons for the formation of green spots. So, the level of humidity normal for a person should be 60-80%, if it is higher, then mold will appear on the walls of the house immediately. To prevent this, you need to eliminate sources of increased moisture, carefully examine the condition of the sewer and water pipes, if there is a leak. In winter, it is imperative to heat all rooms, especially with stove heating, when some rooms remain not fully heated. Dry the basement more often and monitor its waterproofing so that groundwater does not penetrate inside, especially during the onset of spring floods.<\/p>\n
Poor ventilation can also lead to mold growth. In any house, during daily cooking or during wet cleaning, taking water procedures, excess water vapor appears, which is usually eliminated through an open window, window, kitchen hood or ventilation. If ventilation in areas such as kitchens and bathrooms is poor or non-existent, mold will form. Oddly enough, but modern practical plastic windows also contribute to its occurrence, which, due to their tightness, prevent normal ventilation.<\/p>\n
First of all, pay great attention to the ventilation of the premises, it should be carried out often, but not for long, because with a long open window, humid street air flows and cooling of the walls will lead to moisture condensation and its settling on the walls. A large hood used in cooking will be of great benefit in the kitchen. Moisture accumulates most often in the bathroom, so you should not keep the doors in this room closed all the time, on the contrary, it is better to ventilate it more often by opening the door a little. Sometimes dark spots form on the walls behind the furniture, then, for better air circulation, you need to move cabinets and sofas away from the walls.<\/p>\n
In the cold season, the outer walls of the house freeze, which leads to the formation of moisture inside the room. This is due to insufficient thermal insulation of the walls. Evidence of this are mold spots under the wallpaper. There is only one way out – to insulate the walls of the house from the outside, or at least from the inside.<\/p>\n
It happens that in old wooden houses there are gaps between the bars, this contributes to the unhindered entry of moisture into the dwelling and the occurrence of fungus. To prevent this from happening, the cracks must be carefully covered both outside and inside.<\/p>\n
Thus, by eliminating the causes of mold, you can be sure that it will not appear again soon. All of the above methods of fighting the fungus are more effective than removing mold from the surface with special tools that will remove it only for a while. But if there is no way to eliminate these causes, you should at least clean the moldy surface.<\/p>\n
Black mold in the house is well removed with antiseptics, antifungal chemicals, of which there is a huge selection on the market today. These are compounds that dissolve in water, and oil solutions, and those that are diluted with turpentine. If the fungus has not had time to grow, you can wash the wall with plain water and dry it. If the surface is severely affected, you will have to remove wallpaper, plaster and other materials from the infected surface, then dry it in any way possible, for example, with a hairdryer or fan, treat it with a chemical antifungal compound with a brush, prime the walls with a special deeply penetrating antiseptic, plaster and again primed with an antiseptic. After that, you can apply wallpaper, paint, tiles and other materials. This is a complex painstaking work that requires investment of effort and financial costs,<\/p>\n
When carrying out work, it is necessary to observe safety measures: wear protective gloves, special goggles and a respirator, ensure good ventilation of the room. At this time, the presence of children should be completely excluded.<\/p>\n
A lot of advice today can be heard about what to do if mold has appeared in the house. There are enough ways to eliminate it, you just have to arm yourself with patience and get started. Of course, removing the cause will be the best option in the fight for a clean, safe home, but if this is not possible, you should not neglect cleaning preparations that will eliminate the fungus at least for a while.<\/p>\n
In no case should mold be ignored, because it will grow more and more, threatening the health of residents and giving an untidy look to the room. The fight against mold in the house should begin with the first appearance of dark greenish spots, because at the initial stage it is much easier and faster to remove it.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
