Mold not only destroys books, wallpaper, furniture upholstery, etc .. Mold fungi exude special toxins that can cause severe allergies and other diseases. Therefore, it is very important to fight mold to get rid of it once and for all.

So, how to get rid of mold? For starters, as we have already said, it is necessary to eliminate the cause of the appearance of the fungus. To do this, you need to bring the level back to normalhumidity and ensure good ventilation. In addition, the walls can dampen due to the fact that the room freezes, so it is very important to ensure a good thermal insulation.

Having dealt with the causes of the appearance of mold, you can start fighting with the mold itself. The easiest and quickest way to get rid of mold on walls and ceiling is buy ready antiseptic primer. Primers not only help get rid of mold, but also prevent it from reappearing.

Many primers are ready for use immediatelyafter purchase - you do not need to dilute them with water. If you get a undiluted primer, then dilute it according to the instructions. Before applying a primer, you need remove mold from the surface with a spatula and give the wall (the ceiling to dry out).

If you could not get a primer, you can use folk methods of combating mold. Get rid of mold will help copper sulphate solution (not more than 100 g of vitriol per 10 liters of water). But note that this solution can give the surface to be treated a bluish tint. Instead of a solution of vitriol, bleach, bleaches for laundry, etc. can be used. It is very important to remember that chlorine-containing agents should not be mixed with preparations containing ammonia!

In mild cases it is possible to fight mold with the help of concentrated solution of laundry soap (it contains alkali) or a solution of tea tree oil (2 teaspoons of oil in 2 tbsp. water spray from the spray onto the mold and do not rinse). Can be used to combat mold baking soda and vinegar. Mold is sprinkled with soda, vinegar is sprayed onto the soda. Soda and vinegar come into reaction and begin to bubble.
