mold on exterior walls

April 28, 2022

The aesthetics of the walls has great relevance in home decoration. In fact, they frame paintings, photographs, mirrors, wallpaper and other decorative elements. But the image of a wall deteriorates when symptoms of mold appear. It is a type of fungus that promotes the formation of dark gray or black spots. Beyond the visual impact it leaves on the interior, staying for a long time in a space with high amounts of mold can have negative effects on personal well-being.

There are two main causes that influence its appearance: humidity and lack of adequate ventilation. For this reason, it is more common for mold to develop in rooms without windows, in the kitchen and in the bathroom. Its presence is more common in the basements of houses. However, it can break into other rooms. At PoolFun ideas we share some tips to minimize its impact.

Steps to follow

 Identify the cause of the problem

There are household products that can be used to do homework.
