How can you combat mould on the wall?

Whether inside or outside your home, mould is part of the environment and can develop anywhere. We are surrounded by fungi on a daily basis and constantly inhale them. In themselves, these fungal spores are not harmful to humans. However, it becomes a different story when they come into contact with mould in the house. In such cases, the fungal spores develop further, creating a kind of down layer on walls or ceilings. In most cases this will result in black mould. This is a type of fungus that can have a significant impact on human health, especially if they are already associated with allergies or problems with the respiratory tract. Mold in the house is very bad for health and must be treated immediately. If you don’t, chances are that the problem will only get worse.

Methods of removing mould on the wall

There are a number of ways you can control the fungus on the walls. Always make sure that you use moist material and it is recommended to use a mouth mask and gloves.

In case of light mould on the wall you can use a soda solution. This consists of approximately 6 grams of soda per liter of water used. Scrub the mould off the wall with this liquid. Do you have to deal with more stubborn mould spots? Then the use of bleach is a more suitable method to get rid of the fungus problem. Instead of water and soda, in the latter case, mix 250 ml of bleach with the water from a full (10 liter) bucket. Finally, you can also clean the mould on walls with the help of special remedies that you can buy at the supermarket or hardware store. These often have the additional advantage that they are provided with ingredients that prevent new mould formation.

There are various ways to solve these kinds of situations and even prevent theml. The most effective method in this context is the DryBrick.
