Appears in apartments and houses less often. If there is constant humidity in the rooms, ventilation is low or not, and the facade walls are always wet, then such an “uninvited guest” can occur all the time.

Fungus on the walls appears in those rooms in which there is high humidity and there is no ventilation.

The fungus not only has an unpleasant smell, but also adversely affects the appearance of building materials, and general health. Molds on the walls can cause many diseases.

Black fungus and white on the walls of the room

Black mold can appear everywhere and adversely affect your body.

Black mold includes many different strains, but they are all dangerous to health. It can affect food, plants, clothing. One of the varieties of this fungus is called kerosene mold. According to the frequency of occurrence is one of the first places. Even diesel fuel is amazing. There is a fungus that affects only vegetables or fruits, it is dangerous for the digestive system, general health.

White mold on the walls is no less dangerous. It occurs on flower pots, on the ground near the flowers, on the plants themselves. White fluffy bloom and pipes, surfaces in bathrooms, kitchens. This fungus is soft, it warms up in his hands. The smell comes from him unpleasant. The fungus is dangerous to the skin, respiratory organs. If it is detected, it is necessary to carefully inspect all surfaces in the house, pay attention to the level of humidity and temperature. It is easy to remove the mold: it is easily erased with citric acid, but it should be worn with gloves. It is impossible to touch such a mold with your hands, since the defeat can be deep and rather dangerous.

Sinev and actinomycetes

The blueness mainly appears on wooden surfaces and has a bluish tint.

Blue is a mold on the walls in a residential area, it spreads mainly on wooden surfaces. Many people think that bluish or greenish spots have a purely cosmetic defect. But this is far from the case: the mold easily penetrates even through layers of paint, severely destroying walls and other structures. The room becomes damp, colonies of another type of fungus appear. Begin headaches, allergic reactions that do not pass a long time. The health of all tenants is deteriorating. It is possible to determine that it is a fungus, by the smell of mold and dampness. It is necessary in this case to consider all the wooden surfaces for the detection of characteristic blue spots, they are visible quite well. It happens that the mold has penetrated deeply and you need to completely cut out a piece of wood to remove it.

Rot exists in the form of brown, white and bacterial. Dangerous mold on the walls of the bacterial type, as rot affects the respiratory organs, skin, and mucous membranes. To get rid of her, serious antibiotic treatment is often required, and it is difficult to detect such a disease. Diagnoses such as asthma and pulmonary edema are often made, but in fact the lungs are affected by mold spores.

An unusual fungus on the walls in the form of actinomycetes is a formation similar to the alga and fungi. Such fungi affect the material of the wall, they penetrate deeply, and it is almost impossible to get rid of them. Most often they hit wooden walls that literally soften their structure.

The mold is spreading rapidly, and in no case can you fight it with dry rot, as the lesion will only increase.

Actinomycetes are algae that spread rapidly and penetrate deeply.

Mold on the walls spreads quickly. It quickly affects organic matter, paper, any type of wood. It can affect the skin, has a negative effect on overall health. If unreasonable allergic reactions bother you for a long time, and dampness and incomprehensible plaque on wooden surfaces are observed indoors, then it is best to immediately consult a doctor for an examination.

The fungus on the walls can take the form of efflorescence, i.e. a whitish or other colored plaque, which is based on silicates, carbonates, etc. The efflorescences are formed when water moves inside the walls, and in dry weather these salts come out, forming spots. Most often affected brick, concrete walls, marble, plaster. By themselves, the efflorescences to health are not dangerous if their area is small. If no action is taken, then mold begins to quickly form on the walls, and it is already quite dangerous for the general state of living in the house. In addition, building materials are beginning to collapse.

The effects of the appearance of the fungus

What is dangerous mold? Disputes, which are formed when it appears on the walls, affects a person in this way:

  • directly through the skin;
  • by eating foods that are infected with fungus;
  • through the circulatory and respiratory systems.

The fungus can enter the human body through the respiratory system.

When the fungus enters the body, it can cause a number of diseases rather dangerous consequences. This applies to the respiratory system, a fungus for the lungs is also dangerous, it becomes the cause of edema, symptoms that strongly resemble asthma.

What is dangerous fungus yet? The following diseases should be noted:

  • mycoses, dermatosis, skin fungus, allergic reactions;
  • diseases of the respiratory system, upper respiratory tract. These are sinusitis, sinusitis, cough, runny nose, rhinitis, pneumonia, etc.
  • diseases of the musculoskeletal system;
  • rheumatic joint pains;
  • upset stomach, severe headaches;
  • exhaustion.

If you do not start measures to get rid of the fungus at home and cure the identified disease, mold can easily cause serious internal bleeding, emphysema, kidney, liver and other internal organs.

Many after the discovery of the fungus unwittingly wonder: is it dangerous? How dangerous mold in the apartment and whether it is possible to somehow prevent its occurrence. But few people attach much attention to this and simply ignore the dark stains on the walls as an ordinary phenomenon, which is fundamentally wrong.

Green, white and black mold in the apartment

Mold can be different, but the most common is considered to be black, green and white.  These three species are somewhat different from each other and differently affect both the human body and the room.

The most dangerous is considered to be black mold in the apartment. To deal with it is very difficult, so it is better to prevent such a phenomenon. Most often it appears on the walls and in the corners of the furniture, where it is warm and humid. Favorite place - bathroom. In most cases, the affected places can be found under the shower stall, between the walls and sides of the bathroom, as well as in the corners on the ceiling. Also, this type of mold affects the walls and cabinets in apartments, where there are large temperature differences. The main causes of this mold are:

  • Increased humidity in the house;
  • Sharp temperature drops;
  • Rare airing;
  • The presence of a large amount of steam.

The second for harm is considered green mold in the apartment. It is relatively easy to fight it even though it is very harmful to health. The reasons for its appearance in the room are the same as the causes of black mold. Plus, it can be the result of a long storage of food (for example, flour products). Dark green mold in the house is especially harmful.

White mold also damages health and provokes diseases if it is not removed in a timely manner. Its difference from other species is that it resembles down in its appearance. Because of this, microorganisms spread quite easily through the air only with light contact. It is necessary to fight it immediately, trying to minimally touch, as its spores can soar in the air for a long time, provoking allergic reactions in households. White mold, like green, often results from food spoilage.

Black mold - the most dangerous enemy of the apartment

What is dangerous black mold in the house? First of all, it kills the immune system, especially in children. Given that the children's body is still little resistant to germs, contact with this type of fungus can cause irreparable harm to the health of the child, causing the development of serious diseases in adulthood.

As mentioned above, the favorite habitat of such a fungus is the bathroom, where a person spends a considerable part of the time.
  In it, the households take care of their hygiene, so if they have a fungus, they have to touch the bare skin with bacteria. As a result, microorganisms can not only settle on the body, but also infect the internal organs.

With black mold at home is hard, as even careful surface treatment does not always give a tangible result the first time. Sometimes you have to handle the affected area several times to completely eliminate the dark bloom, which, like a kind of beacon, signals a threat.

Mold Harm to Human Health

Mold in the room causes serious damage to the health of all households. We will understand in more detail the question of how dangerous the fungus is for humans.

  • As a rule, pathogenic microorganisms spread to all rooms. As a result, all family members have to breathe. For some, the body may not react for a long time, someone immediately begins to develop symptoms of allergic diseases with lesions of the respiratory tract: his eyes turn red, his nose is itchy, a person begins to sneeze often, a cough and runny nose appear. Allergies can cause angioedema;
  • Deposing on human skin, microorganisms can cause dermatological diseases. Often, washing in the bathroom, where there is a mold, ends with the development of mycoses and dermatitis;
  • Worst of all, when spores have a detrimental effect on the cells of the body, causing their modifications to cancer cells. Most often, a large accumulation of dark mold leads to this phenomenon. When settling in internal organs, harmful spores can cause the development of malignant neoplasms;
  • Sometimes a person may constantly experience drowsiness and weakness, pain in the joints, while not understanding the true cause of the ailments. Blame can also be an unfortunate fungus in the apartment, weakens the immune system.

All of the above is the result of the development of a fungus in an apartment, so it is better not to bring the situation to the extreme and get rid of it in a timely manner.

What is dangerous mold on the walls in the apartment?

Everyone should understand that defeating an apartment is a serious reason to think about repairs. So, if the spores hit the painted surfaces, then it is enough to wash them thoroughly with special solutions and process them with special compounds.

If we are talking about a loose plastered wall, the situation here is a bit more complicated: disputes can remain in the pores.

Worst of all, when the black hits the walls, pasted over with wallpaper. There is nothing to help here - it remains only to rip off the wallpaper, putty, primer the walls and re-glue everything.

Mold on the walls is also harmful because it can easily switch to furniture. Especially bad when it hits the wooden parts, pretty spoiling their appearance. The danger of the fungus is still clear now, more often its appearance is the result of insufficient sunshine and dampness, therefore it is recommended that poorly lit bedrooms be aired more often and, if possible, heated.

Folk mold removal methods

You can deal with the problem in many ways, a lot depends on how much he hit the room. Popular methods - an effective option, if we turn to them in a timely manner.

  • Good result gives treatment with chlorine bleach, which destroys any form of microorganisms. But the effect will be noticeable only on smooth materials, wooden and loose surfaces will still remain infected due to the high degree of porosity;
  • Good result on smooth surfaces gives ammonia mixed with warm water in a ratio of 1: 1. It is strictly forbidden to mix it with bleach due to the high toxicity of the resulting mixture;
  • Get rid of the fungus can be using safe baking soda. It is mixed with water to obtain a slurry, which should be applied to infected areas for a few minutes, then rub with a brush and rinse. Soda is suitable for almost all materials without changing their original appearance;
  • Hydrogen peroxide also gives a good result, but it should be used carefully on colored surfaces. It also penetrates the structure of the material and pores, killing all kinds of germs. With this treatment system, airing and thorough flushing of the solution is not required.

Remembering the described folk remedies you can also use the purchased formulations. But note that in most cases they have a certain toxicity, so the work should be carried out, following all precautions.

Mold is easier to prevent than to destroy completely. Therefore, monitor the cleanliness of your home, air rooms more often and do not allow high humidity - and then the problem will not affect you!

In our today's article:

Many of us are used to not paying attention to the black specks in the area of ​​the ceiling, the walls in the toilet and bathroom. However, such a seemingly insignificant trifle represents a real fungus that not only worsens the interior of the dwelling, but also poses a serious threat to the health of all its inhabitants.

Black mold on the walls and ceiling is a micro-fungus, whose spores are everywhere: on furniture, food, hovering in the air and lying on the floor. Mold exists in places where cleaning is often carried out, and in those corners where a mop with a rag rarely reaches. For this reason, the neighborhood of the fungus with a person is a fairly ordinary situation, but hardly beneficial. About what negative consequences the household mold conceals in itself, Will tell.

The causes of mold

A moldy fungus appears when the moisture content in the room air is exceeded. For a comfortable person living the level of humidity of the living space is up to 80%. But often the figure is above the norm, and this happens for several reasons:

In the house houseplants grow abundantly;
   violation of the living room microclimate due to lack of ventilation when PVC windows are installed;
   washed laundry is dried in the bathroom;
   condensation due to the contrast between the ambient temperature and the room;
   living space is unevenly heated and poorly ventilated.

A common feature of all these reasons - the condensation of moisture in cold places of the home. Often this phenomenon affects the walls in the bathroom, the ceilings, the place under the window sill and the walls behind the cabinets. These are the most attractive nooks for breeding moldy fungi and a comfortable environment for their habitat.

It should be remembered that mold is microorganisms dangerous for human health, which can also harm furniture and various structures. Specifying, the harm of the fungus lies in its disputes, which it spreads into the surrounding space and with the breath enters the human body. This can provoke a number of serious diseases.

The threat of black mold

The ingress of mold spores in the human body can lead to the development of such ailments:

The occurrence of skin diseases that are difficult to medical diagnosis - types of dermatosis and mycosis;
   respiratory diseases - chronic runny nose and cough;
   the appearance of problems with the musculoskeletal system;
   the occurrence of rheumatic diseases;
   exhaustion, migraines and weakness.

Hidden danger: allergens

Negative consequences for human health are not borne by the mold itself, but by the spores that constantly form in it. They are the strongest allergens. With the flow of air, fungal spores quickly penetrate into the respiratory tract, causing the appearance of many allergic diseases. These can be problems ranging from simple conjunctivitis to respiratory allergies. And also often the moldy fungus in the apartment causes the appearance of bronchial asthma.

Mold can spread its spores not only on the surface of walls and ceilings, but also on the skin, causing eczema and. The fungus can affect hair and nails, irritate the mucous membrane of the intestinal tract, as well as the inner walls of the alveoli. In this case, the most terrible of fungi is black aspergillus - the causative agent of a rare disease of pulmonary aspergillosis, which is fatal.

In the role of allergens can act not only disputes, but also volatile components with an unpleasant odor. They quickly penetrate into the human circulatory system through the respiratory tract, and the body reacts to the intoxication with dizziness, headache, vomiting and nausea.

The most affected are people with low immunity, adolescents and children. Most unpleasant that many diseases caused by spores of moldy fungi, today little studied. Experts find it difficult to determine the correct diagnosis and often take the symptoms for a completely different disease. So, the consequences of the negative effects of mold are often left without treatment.
   Possible lesion points

Anything can mold in an apartment, even the inhabitants of a dwelling, if favorable conditions are created for this. The main rule - the fungus does not grow where it is dry. But he can always find a corner where there are plastic windows and the room is poorly ventilated. Mushroom chains are formed in rooms that are not warm enough and are poorly ventilated. Other sources of moldy formations include the following:

Humidity is a grace for mold. In order not to collect clusters of fungal growths, it is necessary to eliminate the causes of leaking pipes and taps in the bathroom and toilet.
   Pay attention to the arrangement of furniture in the apartment: if there are bulky overall objects that are placed close to the walls, they must be moved. Such an arrangement disrupts the normal circulation of air in the room, and accordingly - favors the reproduction of the fungus.
The appearance of mold on wooden window frames occurs at the moment when the outer window profile is rotting. And the cause of this phenomenon is the deformed or cracked frame putty. Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that the insulation is not broken and that rainwater cannot get between the profile and the glass. For this, it is best to use synthetic putty, which will retain elasticity for a long time.
   Fungal formation on the PVC window profile may appear at the moment when the insulation of the window is broken due to a worn seal. In this case, condensation occurs on the glass and in the area of ​​the window sill fungus actively begins to multiply. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor the condition of the seal and change as needed.
   The fertile environment for mold propagation is flower pots. Microspores of the fungus from damp and wet basements quickly rise through the ventilation shafts and settle on the flower greenhouses.
   The formation of moldy black spots on the walls near the balcony is associated with poor waterproofing or improperly installed drain. Therefore, care must be taken that the outdoor weir is not clogged with foliage and no water is collected in it.
   Most often, the fungus occupies the bathroom, because in this part of the apartment there is everything you need: warmth, dampness and darkness. Fluffy mildew clusters grow under the sink, behind the standpipe and in the places where condensate forms.

How to prevent mold?

Undoubtedly, than to get rid of the colonies of fungi, it is always better to prevent their appearance in the home. To do this, follow the simple guidelines:

Ventilate the room regularly, as this makes the breeding conditions of the fungus unbearable. At the same time, in winter time you should not leave the vent window open for a long time in order to avoid overcooling of walls and the formation of condensate on them.
   Heat all rooms in the house well.
   Do not hang up washed laundry in the apartment.
   Perform timely repair of faucets and drainpipes.
   Reduce the number of indoor plants in the apartment.
   Well ventilate the bathroom and toilet.
   When repairing or building a home, give preference to “dry” materials to avoid the occurrence of structural moisture.
   The floor of the balcony is best to lay a dense polyurethane coating to protect it from moisture.

The appearance of the fungus in the apartment is highly undesirable not only for aesthetic reasons, but also because of the detrimental effect on the health of the owner of this house. It appears and takes root very well, not only in apartments with old repairs. As the fungus spreads very quickly, the slightest accumulation of damp and high humidity can cause it to appear even on a new tile in the bathroom or other places. To avoid this, at the first symptoms of its occurrence, it is necessary to act decisively, since the outdated mold is removed much more difficult to fresh.

Mold damage

The appearance of mold in an apartment or house can cause a variety of diseases in its inhabitants: for example, allergies, cough, runny nose, feelings of lack of air and other problems with the immune system. Detect and remove mold is a must for the safety of the home and the possibility of living in it.

Sometimes a person is cured of complex, difficult to diagnose, chronic diseases simply after moving to another apartment, dry, without mold infection.

And of course, the aesthetic side of things: no flat is decorated with spots and the presence of a dirty bloom in the corners.

Causes

For the final and irrevocable disposal of the fungus, you first need to determine the reasons for its appearance. Most often it appears due to high humidity and lack of ventilation.  Fungi adore such premises. In damp houses, apartments located on the first floor, in a room where an air humidifier was used incorrectly, if tropical climate is maintained for special plants growing in large quantities in small-sized rooms, this is where mold will feel comfortable.

Almost all modern construction and finishing materials are affected by the fungus. It can be found in the bathroom, toilet, air conditioner. Even a washing machine, refrigerator, books, wallpaper, or just walls can be contaminated with mold. Sometimes it is very difficult to get rid of it.

From the signs of mold in the house should be noted the appearance of a specific smell, raw and sharp.The next stage will be the appearance of spots - gray, black or whitish.

If you do not eliminate the high humidity and in the future do not air the room, all measures taken by you will be useless, as the fungus will reappear.

In which areas it is necessary to begin work:

  • mechanical cleaning of the walls, floor, ceiling from the fungus;
  • treatment of all surfaces with a tool that will destroy the mold;
  • disposal of all things damaged by the fungus and as a result unfit for further use;
  • equipment of constant good ventilation of the room, which does not allow stagnation of air masses;
  • decrease in humidity of the room. Detection and elimination of all sources of high humidity.

What means to remove the "uninvited guest"?

To eliminate this problem, special antiseptic agents are produced. Large selection will offer you any store that sells building materials. Always remember that all chemical agents for the control of fungus are very poisonous and it is necessary to carry out any work with them with great caution, having first read the enclosed instructions.

In the struggle for a clean house, you must also consider the fact that defeat upholstered furniture, wallpaper, porous materials can be very deep and not amenable to purification.In such cases, it is better to get rid of them.

The best way to eliminate the fungus is to treat it with a special antiseptic primer sold in any hardware store. This tool is easy to use, as a rule, it is not necessary to add water to it. Buying it undiluted, read the instructions for the desired composition.

The surface before applying the means must be cleaned. With the deep penetration of the fungus into the plaster it is necessary to remove it to a clean surface, maybe even to a concrete slab or brickwork. The primer is spread over a dry surface with a paint brush. After it dries, painting or pasting surfaces is performed.

The fight against fungus can be done with the help of home remedies. They have a slightly smaller effect, but are not so toxic. Normal bleach can remove all types of fungi. Both the fungus itself and its spores die from the sodium hypochlorite contained in its composition. Bleach perfectly cleans the tile in the bathroom, glass, floors, but its effect is such that some of the treated things can lose color.

If used improperly, it can damage the skin on the hands. Be sure to use rubber gloves. Before starting work, it is also necessary to provide room ventilation to protect against sharp and toxic fumes. For surface treatment preparing a mixture of bleach with water in a ratio of 1 to 10.

With many common varieties of fungus, you can fight with ordinary table vinegar, which is essentially a weak acid. This tool also does not smell very good, but its fumes are not as toxic as bleach. To get rid of the fungus, vinegar is applied to the affected surface with a spray or with a damp cloth. An hour later, the treated surface is rinsed with water, the room is ventilated.

To further the fungus does not appear again, it is enough to spray vinegar in the problem area once a week.

Hydrogen peroxide can also be used - it is also an antibacterial and antifungal agent. For a 3% peroxide solution, you can go to any pharmacy. The solution is non-toxic and does not have a pungent odor.

The effectiveness of peroxide is proven, but it also bleaches many materials, so care must be taken when working with fabrics and painted surfaces.

The use of this tool is quite effective when working with solid non-porous surfaces - tile or glass, on porous materials it is ineffective. For work, ammonia and water are mixed in equal proportions, the resulting mixture is sprayed over the infected area, washed off after a few hours.

Be careful, as ammonia, evaporating, causes headaches and discomfort in the throat, and when mixing bleach and ammonia, there is generally a release of toxic gas.

Baking soda is a natural and safe household cleaner. It does not contain such aggressive chemicals, as in other means, so its use is not dangerous for people or animals. One teaspoon of soda is taken into a glass of water, and the resulting solution is used to process moldy surfaces. You can sprinkle or just wet the sponge in the solution and clean the infected area with it. It is better if the soda remains are not completely washed away - this will prevent the fungus from returning.

Remove fungal plaque, wielding a variety of means is easy, but this is only part of the work. A prerequisite for success is ensuring dryness and regular airing of housing.

Step-by-step instructions on how to get rid of mold

  1. Remove and eliminate sources of moisture. It is necessary to check the condition of the tile joints on the outside of the house, leaking taps, cracks in the walls or under the windows, through which moisture, propagating the disease-causing spores, seeps. We check the draft in the ventilation, we eliminate the faults.
  2. After eliminating the causes of mold, we begin its removal. We clean the affected plaster with a wide metal spatula.
  3. Dry the walls with heaters or a blowtorch. Do not forget about safety and extreme caution. We acquire antifungal agent.
  4. We produce high-quality antiseptic coating with a brush or spray gun. After five to six hours, the surface is cleaned again, washed and dried. Again, treatment with antiseptic. The treated walls will be ready for pasting or painting in a day.

Instructions for the preservation of the results achieved

  1. Do not forget about the constant ventilation of the premises, if necessary, use heaters.
  2. Install the device to control and absorb moisture.
  3. Soda solution (1 tsp. Per liter of water) treat problem areas once a month. Before washing we clean the tile with a hard brush.
  4. It is possible to use chlorine solution instead of soda, but after treatment they definitely need to air the room.

Mold is everywhere. Mold has always been, is and most likely will never disappear. In most cities of the world, mold concentration is several times higher than the maximum permissible limits. And whatever a person does, no matter how removed the traces of mold, it certainly appears again.
  Maybe everything is not so scary and the proximity of the person and the mold does not bring any harm? Alas, the harm of mold to our body is very significant, but we often do not feel this and, therefore, do not think about it. And, as a result, we are not trying to get rid of it, exposing ourselves and our loved ones to the risk of cancer.

What is mold?

Mold is a tiny fungus. Mold spores (of this tiny fungus) live everywhere: in the air, on furniture, in products, on walls and floors. Mold spores also exist where wet cleaning is often done and where it is rarely cleaned. Therefore, the neighborhood of a person with mold, in its essence, is ordinary. At the same time, the mold is so tiny that we do not even notice how we exhale it.

Why does mold appear?

As we have already written, mold, or rather mold spores, are present almost everywhere. However, visible growth of mold begins only when the conditions of the environment where mold spores are located, become comfortable for its growth.
Ideal conditions for the appearance of mold are the conditions of high humidity (relative humidity above 95%) and temperatures of 20 ° C. With the appearance of such conditions, the spores of the mold begin to develop rapidly, contributing to the appearance of visible foci of mold.

What is dangerous mold?

The main harm caused by mold is that the mold is allergenic and toxic. Colonies of mold fungi produce so-called. aflatoxins are toxic toxins that, when ingested, can accumulate in it, causing cancer of the liver over time. Our body (namely, the liver) is able to process a certain amount of aflatoxins without harm to itself, but when the number of mold fungi colonies exceeds the normal amount, the body stops coping, and the body begins to slowly poison.
  In addition to liver cancer, mold inhaled with air can settle on the lungs and bronchi, causing diseases such as: runny nose, bronchitis, cough, sore throat, acute respiratory infections, flu, headaches, various allergies. When ingested with food, mold can be the cause of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of various types and severity.

Mold in the bathroom, in the kitchen and in the flowers

These three places — the bathroom, the kitchen, and the flowerpots — are the main foci of mold development. And this, of course, there are explanations.

  • Mold in the bathroom.

The bathroom is the very first place where mold will form. It is almost always humid, warm and, importantly, a little fresh air. Just perfect conditions for the development of mold.
  Usually in the bathroom mold fungus affects: tile and tile joints, the seams along the bath and sink, washcloths.

  • Mold in the kitchen.

In the kitchen, mold is most striking: cutting boards, knives with wooden handles, a refrigerator, a bread box. Despite the fact that mold is more present in the bathroom, in the kitchen its presence is especially dangerous, because can easily get into the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) with food.

  • Mold on flowers.

Strange as it may seem, but flowers are also a zone of increased development of mold. Its development occurs mainly when the flowers are poured with a large amount of water (high humidity is formed), and the temperature in the room is comfortable for the development of mold.

How to get rid of mold

It is almost impossible to get rid of mold, or rather mold spores. They will always exist next to us. However, you can not give mold to grow, develop. In this case, it will not be able to harm the body.
  In general, the following actions are necessary to reduce the risk of mold fungi:

  1. Try to keep the rooms, especially the bathroom, dry. Remember that mold loves moisture. Air the rooms as often as possible.
  2. When removing mold, use antiseptic agents; clean and wipe surfaces dry.
  3. By wiping off the dust, you also remove mold spores. Wet cleaning of the room and furniture from dust (and mold), finish with a dry wipe.
  4. Do not flood the flowers. Remember that mold is formed even here with excessive humidity and a comfortable temperature.

We rarely think about the harm that mold can cause us. However, we need to remember the danger that it poses and use the listed means to get rid of it.
