Is mold making your life impossible? Have all the commercial products failed so far? A solution might be to try removing it with natural products, which won't affect your health and especially help prevent its appearance.
Why does mold appear? A warm and humid environment is perfect for mold growth. Another cause is condensation formation, which can be caused by the materials used for wall insulation. Water leaks are another cause of mold.
Another reason why mold appears is the blockage of moisture transfer from the inside to the outside. In other words, the walls don't breathe because the insulation wasn't done properly. As a result, humidity builds up inside, condensation forms, and mold spots appear.
Also, in a house that is not aired daily, the chances of mold appearing increase, especially in cases of favorable factors such as those mentioned.
Natural solutions for mold removal
For affected surfaces, spray the solution directly onto the mold and let it act for an hour. Then scrub the area with a brush or sponge. After removing the mold, you can repeat the application of the tea tree solution so that the substance acts in depth. Tea tree is known for its antifungal and antibacterial properties.
Vinegar works similarly but leaves an unpleasant smell. Walls affected by mold can also be wiped with a mixture of water and baking soda or water and clove oil (1 liter of water and a quarter teaspoon of oil).
It is also very important to prevent its appearance. A dehumidifier is recommended to help you maintain optimal humidity between 65-70%. Air out each room twice a day, paying special attention to the bathroom, especially if there is no window.
Install a fan and after each bath or shower leave the door open for ventilation (preferably also open the nearest window next to the bathroom).
