Mold is a type of fungus that develops from airborne spores. It can grow anywhere: on walls, ceilings, carpets, clothing, footwear, furniture, paper, etc. Not only can this affect indoor air quality, it can also have a detrimental effect on health. Children, the elderly, and those with respiratory problems are particularly at risk.
To prevent or eradicate Mildew
There are several products on the market that act as fungicides, but contain toxic elements that are harmful to health. Fortunately, there are also ecological fungicides that are just as effective and less harmful, that we can use to use to prevent the growth of the mildew. They are perfect formulations that are used for cleaning and disinfecting any affected area.
Once you have all the recommended products, be sure to apply them using plastic gloves and masks with filters that take care of the air you breathe. This is vital to take care of your health, because as we have already mentioned, mold spores travel through the air and mainly affect the respiratory tract.
To treat smooth walls, just wipe the stains with a damp cloth, but if your walls are rough (like the texture left by the plaster without sanding) you will have to scrape and re-plaster to eradicate the fungus completely. If the surface is wooden, a rag or sponge soaked in vinegar will do the job effectively.

Let's take a look at other ways to keep molds from developing in your home
Find and eliminate sources of moisture
Mold grows where there is moisture. If you detect signs of humidity as a result of condensation, rising damp (capillarity) or leaks, you should call a specialist technician who will audit your home to identify any problem areas. You can also check the humidity level indoors with a hygrometer.
Check your indoor plants
Mold loves house plants, and the moist soil in the pots provides a great breeding ground. If spills do occur when watering, be sure to keep the soil clean and add an anti-fungus such as the Sprchemical mildew preventivesthat acts as a deterrent.
Ventilate the bathroom.
Moisture accumulates quickly in the bathroom, so it is important that it is sufficiently ventilated. If possible, keep the window ajar and the door open. Moisture can develop in the air, but also on the walls, so when possible clean the walls to reduce the risk of mold.
Clean up spills
It doesn't take long for mold to grow on damp work surfaces or floors so make sure any spills are cleaned up quickly.
Dry clothes outside when possible
Drying clothes on a radiator is another way to create condensation in the home. Of course, hanging your clothes outside is not an option in the winter months so try to do it in a well ventilated room. Ideally, with the window open. If you use a dryer, make sure the room is properly ventilated so moisture can escape outside the home. Do not leave wet clothes in a pile as mold can appear quickly.
