Many of us are faced with such a problem as: wet walls, black spots on the walls, ceilings and tiles. And all this is a manifestation of the most common mold. And, unfortunately, not everyone knows that the fight against mold in the apartment is simply necessary, because not only does the appearance deteriorate from it, but the building material is also destroyed and the health of all residents worsens.
The mold in the apartment is the same fungus. Its spores are in the air and, falling into places favorable to them, begin to develop intensively. Mold reproduces very quickly with high humidity, accumulation of dirt and poor ventilation. Most often, it affects the bathroom, toilet and kitchen.
Before fighting mold in an apartment, it is necessary to identify the cause of its appearance. It cannot arise by itself; it needs a favorable environment - dampness. Therefore, first you need to check the ventilation. And, if it is faulty, there can be no question of combating mold, since all efforts will be useless. Another reason for the appearance of the fungus can be indoor plants. And if you have a lot of them, you will have to get rid of a certain amount.
Today, there are a large number of tools that can remove mold in the apartment. But you must remember that if you do not remove its cause of appearance, it will reappear.
The bathroom should be cleaned regularly with cleaning products. Handle bleach with bleach solution or Domestos detergent. Thus, it will not be able to have a harmful effect on the body. Just remember that this procedure is unsafe, and you must use rubber gloves and a face mask.
Of course, if you wash away the mold in the apartment, then the problem will not be completely solved. It is necessary to carry out repairs, because this is the only way to completely treat the walls and prevent the fungus from appearing again. You can seek help from specialists who will offer you their qualified help and give a guarantee of quality work.

First, consider a ventilation system so that the air in the bathroom is constantly dry and warm. This will help you with floor heating and ventilation holes in the door. Leave the door open after taking a bath or shower. Only in this case, you can be sure that the mold will disappear for a long time.
One of the simple and effective ways to combat this fungus is table vinegar. To do this, dip an unnecessary toothbrush in vinegar and process the seams between the tiles. This method gives only a temporary result, so you will have to carry out this procedure regularly.
Another well-known remedy is copper sulfate. Treat this solution with mold-affected places, observing safety precautions, as the substance is toxic. To do this, put a gauze bandage on your face and rubber gloves on your hands.
