Causes of mold and its types
From a scientific point of view, mold is a common name for a huge amount of fungal formations. This is one of the oldest on the planet of living organisms, well-adapted to a variety of conditions. Their disputes are everywhere. In small quantities, they are present in water, in the air, indoors, on the street. They do not show themselves exactly until they fall into the conditions suitable for the development.
Fungi prefer high humidity, level temperature of a comfortable room, darkness. If all three conditions coincided, the colony is rapidly developing, exciting new squares. It can be argued that each house has conditions for active development of fungus. However, it does not appear everywhere. The cause of its growth becomes dampness. Feeding pipes, increased humidity, windows, etc. All this "attracts" mold microorganisms.
Morbal stains of ugly, quickly sprawling. But the main danger is not in this. High concentration of dispute in air provokes exacerbation of allergic diseases, asthma, dermatitis, etc. It becomes the cause of their first manifestation. The toxins generated toxins are launched in the human body the processes leading to oncology. Therefore, it is impossible to put up with such a neighborhood.
There are many types of mold. Spit atlas-determinant with a photo will have to be very long. But in everyday life, it is necessary to deal with several varieties.
Views
- White. Reminds the fluff. Thin, almost transparent thread gifs are minor. Less toxic than others.
- Green. More often appears on the organic, but can settle on the walls.
- Black. The most aggressive and toxic variety. Get out and applies very quickly.
Detection of any colony signals the need to immediately begin processing. Delay is expensive. According to Sanpina Housing, the area of which is more infected with molding microorganisms, is considered dangerous to stays of people and animals.
The problem may remain invisible for a long time. The stains do not necessarily appear on sites where they are easy to notice. The most dangerous places - corners, plots near the windowsill and slopes, etc. The fungus declares itself small dark spots. If they appeared on the wallpaper, almost certainly under them the colony has already grown. Perhaps not even one.
Worse, if the fungus flourishes in a secluded place. Where it is difficult to notice. But in this case, "calls will sound", indirectly indicating the problem. The brightest is the smell of dampness. If it smells like a cellar or basement, it means it's time to move the furniture, climbing the largest corners of the room in search of molds. An unprecedented deterioration in the health and the general state of households also indicates infection of surfaces.
Elimination of the cause
Before removing mold from wallpaper in the room, you need to eliminate the cause. It is pointless to deal with the problem, leaving dampness and warmth for the development of the colony.
First of all, remove excessive moisture. Sometimes it is very simple. For example, underwear to dry out onto the street or a balcony, regularly ventilate the apartment, eliminate the leaps of pipes.
In some cases, get rid of dampness difficult. So, problems with ventilation in the apartment guarantee increased humidity. We will have to bring it back: Clear Ventshachts, put additional fans, equip the kitchen, etc. It should be understood that otherwise it is impossible to get rid of molded colonies. Helps drying the room by a construction hairdryer, something like that. True, this is a temporary measure. Without effective ventilation, dampness returns.

How to get rid of mold on wallpaper using fungicides
A lot of effective preparations have been developed that can destroy molds. A whole range of funds-fungicides are manufactured. Some are intended for processing infected surfaces, others to prevent the occurrence of fungus, etc. Indoors where there is a probability of infection, it is recommended to use finishing materials with the addition of fungicides.The complexity of the upcoming works depends on the degree of launching problem. It should be understood that the specks on the surface of the wallpaper canvas are just the top of the iceberg. Under the lanes of the decor hides the main mushroom colony. Moreover, its dimensions can be very high. Therefore, it is hoped that it will only have to wash the spot, do not have to.
It is necessary to be prepared for what you have to skit wallpaper. No matter how sorry for fresh repair, there is no other way out. We offer an action plan.
Preparatory work

- Carefully turn the wallpaper strip. We try not to break it. If the area of the lesion is small, you can try to do with local actions. Then the canvas after processing will return to its place. Best of all, such procedures transfer vinyl materials, allowed to be washed and brushed. If, under the strip, a significant lesion was found in size, you will have to remove the decor completely.
- We remove the panels "with the reserve" so as not to leave the dispute on the wall. Infected material we put into dense packages, we carry out on the street, burn or we utilize in another way. We clean the surface. It is recommended to remove the plaster. It takes a lot of time and strength, but the molded colony will be destroyed. The basis is dusty, washed with clean water, dried.
We'll figure it out how to clear the wallpaper from mold if the speech is small. It is treated with any fungicide, carefully dry, purify. If necessary, manipulation repeat. Do it all very carefully, so as not to damage the cloth. After the wall processing is over, it is returned to the place. True, the risk of recurrence in this case is much higher than if a new canvas were pasted.
Purification of mold
If there is such an opportunity, the dried and purified wall is irradiated with ultraviolet. It destroys microorganisms on the surface and in the depths of the base. After that, operations are sequentially performed.
- We are preparing for the work of any fungicide. If necessary, we will be divorced in the proportions specified by the manufacturer.
- We are abundantly applied to the base. We do it with a brush or roller. We leave until complete drying.
- Clean the surface with a sandpaper or a rigid brush. If necessary, we repeat the procedure.
- We wash the foundation with clean water. We definitely rub the most hard-to-reach fragments. We leave until complete drying.
