Fungus is an insidious enemy in our apartments. It spreads at lightning speed, bringing a lot of trouble to residents. In such a situation, only anti-mold for the walls will help. We will talk about how these funds cope with this ailment.
Where does mold come from?
As you know, the fungus loves humidity and heat. This is facilitated by the plastic windows common in our time. Performing their main protection - insulation, they thereby block the passage of fresh air into the apartment. Poor quality cladding in apartment buildings also contributes to mold growth. Under the influence of snow and rain, the walls get wet. For this reason, moisture enters the house, where it becomes an excellent breeding ground for various fungi.
When arranging furniture in small rooms, you need to be careful. If the battery is closed, for example, with a sofa, then warm air does not enter the window. Condensation accumulates on it, and then mold gradually appears and spreads. Getting rid of it is not so easy. She firmly sits onwalls, while surviving in a variety of conditions. Mold on wallpaper is extremely difficult to remove. But not everything is so hopeless. The presence of a huge number of different means to combat it will help you get out of this difficult situation.
