Is mold a problem that scares you? Find out how to solve this by painting your house.

Mold is a problem that sooner or later we have all faced at home: let's discover together how to solve it by taking advantage of painting the walls.

In the latest generation homes, very well insulated and insulated, Mold is a very common problemIn fact, modern construction techniques require the elimination of unnecessary drafts which lead to heat loss and consequently you no longer have air exchange in the house and this leads to the formation of mold in the coldest corners.
 
The most common solution to the mold problem is to eliminate the visible surface layer with specific products. In fact, there are many products that help remove those annoying dark spots that we find in the corners of our homes, especially in cellars, rumpus rooms but also in bathrooms and kitchens. Just a simple spray of product and everything goes away!
 
Or at least that's how it seems to us...
 
Unfortunately not everyone knows that simply using cleaners has limited effect, only eliminates the spores but does not act at the root of the problem, in fact the mold that forms in our homes has a surface layer that we can see easily but also an underlying layer less noticeable and more difficult to eliminate.
 
The superficial layer, if propagated properly, in addition to being unpleasant to the eye, can be source of some pathologies: in fact the spores released by some molds are the cause of allergies and others are precisely harmful and help create inflammation And lung lesions!

“The simple use of cleaners has a limited effect, it only eliminates the spores but does not act at the root of the problem”

How to resolve mold growth?

The solution main one that allows you to solve the problem at the root is to air our house constantly: opening the windows in the morning will allow the exchange of warm, humid internal air with fresh, drier external air, thus allowing our home to breathe.

It is important to avoid opening windows when the outside temperature is warmer than the one in the house: you will get the opposite effect!

If the problems are of a structural nature of the building (particularly humid building areas, little exposed to the sun, few windows that allow the rooms to be ventilated, etc.) little can be done other than working on the structural level of the house. There are solutions like these controlled mechanical ventilation which allow you to regulate and manage the flow of air exchanged from the house with the outside.

If, however, the mold is due to a particularly rainy and therefore humid season, or to a long period in which the home was closed, a medium-term solution is to act when painting the walls!
 
What better time to paint your home than summer? Warm season and with more hours of light which contribute to making a perfect job!

The steps are few and simpleIn fact, before painting walls subject to mold formation, it is advisable to:

• clean the spores that have formed on the surface thoroughly with products easily available on the market, let the walls rest and make sure that there are no more signs of mold on the surface;
• sanitize the root of the mold: here too there are products that, if applied and left to act, eliminate the problem at its root and allow you to paint the walls obtaining excellent results.
• paint: to do an excellent job you can use paints that have anti-mold products inside and whose composition can allow the walls to "breathe" so as to avoid creating a barrier between the internal environment and the wall.

With these simple steps, a brush, cleaning rags, paint and mold cleaners and… a little good will, you will be ready for a mold-free winter!
