An easy way to get rid of mold in your home

The method depends mainly on the use of a solution of chlorine and a little water, but without the need to wipe or touch the surfaces , and we will explain the method below, but first you must follow safety procedures to protect you and the furniture from any damage that may occur as a result of the use of chlorine.

Procedures before starting the mold treatment process:

  1. Choose a day when the weather is sunny so that you can open the windows and ventilate the walls and get rid of the smell of chlorine.
  2. Remove any furniture, rugs, or drapes around the moldy area to be treated.
  3. Wear appropriate work clothes or a protector to protect clothes from damage in case of some splashes.
  4. Wear clear protective eyewear to protect your eyes from splashes (food cling film can be used).

Mold processing solution preparation:

  1. In an empty container that contains a spray (such as glass cleaning liquid cans), put an amount of chlorine so that the solution consists of 3 quarters of the amount of chlorine, and a quarter of it is water (a higher concentration of chlorine in the solution gives a better result).
  2. On the front of the spray tool, you will find a piece that can be rotated to determine the shape of the spray (either Spray or Stream), select "Stream" until the solution comes out in a concentrated line.

Starting the mold treatment process:

  1. Start spraying the solution on the wall from a distance of approximately 15 cm, and do not wipe the solution.
  2. This method is great because it gets to all the corners that are hard to reach when scanning the wall.
  3. The solution may start to run on the wall in the form of black lines, which soon turn white.
  4. Try to cover the moldy area on the wall with enough of the solution.
  5. Allow the solution to take effect in killing the fungus within a quarter of an hour.
  6. Check the wall after 15-20 minutes if it needs to be sprayed with a second coat of solution.
  7. Often, one layer of the solution will be sufficient to kill the mold and turn the walls into a bright white color, but if the mold density is large, you may need to spray a second layer, but after making sure that the first layer has taken effect.

The result is a mold-free and spotless wall, without wiping it off or having to repaint it.
