Mold: The Silent Intruder
Problem: Dark stains spreading across your walls?
Mold isn’t just unsightly, it can also affect indoor air quality. Don’t panic, there’s no need to call an expert right away. The solution is within reach!
Simple steps to remove mold:
Scrub the stains with a dry toothbrush to remove the worst of it.
Clean with rubbing alcohol using a soft cloth. This helps disinfect and stop the spread.
Spray a diluted bleach solution (1 part bleach to 99 parts water). If the wall is heavily affected, use a more concentrated mixture (1 part bleach to 20 parts water).
Smart tip: Once the area is completely dry, lightly sand it with sandpaper, then apply a waterproof primer before repainting. This will prevent mold from returning!
