Black mold on the wall

Black mold must be eliminated immediately 

Mould is not only unsavory, but also harmful to health. So take action immediately if you discover mold on a wall.

• The mold removers available on the market are suitable for removing black mold. When using it, follow the instructions on the product in question precisely so that the mold is removed in the long term.
• Alternatively, black mold can be removed with a high percentage of alcohol, for example ethanol or isopropanol. However, the alcoholic vapors are not necessarily less harmful to health than commercially available mold removers. In addition, they are highly flammable substances, so special care is required when using them.
• Always wear gloves and a respirator when removing black mold. This not only protects against damage caused by the mold remover, but also lowers the burden of the mold itself.
• Ventilate thoroughly after the anti-mold treatment. In the case of a larger campaign against mold, it is recommended that children at least be accommodated outside for a few days.

How to prevent mold on the wall

Once mold has appeared, special care must be taken in the future. By taking simple measures, you can ensure that black mold has little chance.

• Lowering the humidity in living spaces is the most important means of preventing mold. You can get a hygrometer at the hardware store to determine the optimum humidity.
• Heat enough in winter. Stores warm room air humidity, while this easily collects on the wall in the cold.
• Ventilation Do it regularly and sustainably. There should be a draft in the apartment for a few minutes at least twice a day. Additionally, ventilate every 2 to 3 hours if you are in a room.
• The duration of ventilation depends on the outside temperature: If it is very cold outside, the air is exchanged faster than at warmer temperatures.
