In addition to specialized antifungal agents, folk methods of mold control are also used - the removal of the fungus with chlorine-containing disinfectant solutions.

Since they do not penetrate deep into the walls and do not kill the mold completely.
To get rid of mold on the walls once and for all, first deal with the causes of its occurrence. Usually mold appears in rooms with high humidity and poor ventilation. Therefore, most often you can see mold in the bathroom or in the basement. The walls of rooms with high humidity must be treated with special antifungal agents in the process of finishing them. An antifungal agent should be added directly to the solution.

To prevent mold on the walls from reappearing, you need to solve problems with high humidity and poor ventilation.
It is best to regulate the humidity in the room by a regular flow of fresh air. Therefore, often ventilate the room, especially if plastic windows are installed in it.
Do not force the furniture to dark and damp corners. In general, try not to put the furniture close to the walls - leave a small gap for air circulation.
If the source of dampness in the room is a large number of plants, it makes sense to reduce their number.

Mold removal agents are poisonous, so only use a respirator and rubber gloves.
