Mold are microorganisms that can grow on almost anything if it is moist enough. Inside your home molds grow quickly on damp surfaces like bathroom walls and trim around windows. They may look like furry growth, black stains, or specks of black, white, orange, green or brown,
When a growth appears in your home, it can send clous of invisible bits of mold through the air. These bits of mold can lead to infections, allergies, asthma and other breathing problems. To avoid these health complications, you need to keep your home as mold-free as possible.
Remember, any part of your home that get’s wet is likely to be moldy. For this reason, you need to check for leaks in your roof or plumbing. If water is trapped inside your walls or under your carpet, molds may grow there, although they can’t always be seen.
You should also check for mold in your basement, especially if your basement floods because of rain. Moisture can also seep through your home’s concrete foundation and make the bottom of carpets or the inside of a finished wall moldy.
So, how do you get rid of a mold problem? Well, you should use protective equipment when working around. These include rubber gloves, eye-goggles, outer clothing and an N-95 respirator.
With these in place, you should scrub all moldy surfaces using a stiff brush, hot water, and a soap or detergent that doesn’t contain ammonia. Collect used liquid with a wet/dry vacuum, mop or sponge. Finally, rinse the area clean using clean water and dry thoroughly.
After cleaning the affected area as described above wipe down the wall, ceiling or floor again using a mixture of liquid household chlorine bleach and water. Allow surfaces to air dry to maximize their contact time with the bleach. When molds get inside materials like carpets and mattresses, they can’t be cleaned. Throw them away.
You can also use anti mold paint to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on painted surfaces. These paints typically contain antimicrobial agents that kill or prevent the growth of mold and mildew on the paint surface.
The primary benefit of anti-mold paint is that it helps prevent the growth of mold and mildew on painted surfaces. This is especially important in areas of the home that are prone to dampness and humidity, such as the bathroom and kitchen.
