Mold on windows: what to do?Perhaps everyone is familiar with mold. Dark stains appearing on any surface in the house are quite difficult to remove. Usually the effect is temporary - after some time the fungus appears again, especially if the primary cause of the fungus is not eliminated. More and more often you can meet mold on windows, walls, soffits and other surfaces. There are several reasons for its occurrence. |
Causes of occurrence
As a rule, mold appears on windows made of plastic. In addition to the frames themselves, mold affects the jambs. Often due to the structure of the material, plasterboard surfaces are affected.
As for the causes, the following factors can be distinguished:
As for the causes, the following factors can be distinguished:
- Indoor climate disturbance characterized by a significant increase in humidity.
- Plastic windows completely exclude the possibility of air exchange with the street, resulting in increased humidity and stuffiness.
- A large number of indoor plants can significantly increase humidity levels and promote mold growth.
Methods of fighting mold on windows
Almost everyone knows how to get rid of mold, but unfortunately, few are aware that an effective fight starts with eliminating the root cause of the fungus.
If there is constant excessive humidity in the room, you can use dehumidifiers, which are sold in ordinary electronics stores. In addition, it is mandatory to ventilate the room, especially after showering, washing or cooking. It is worth noting that the more severe the mold infestation, the more often you need to ventilate the apartment. If there is no such possibility due to some reasons (for example, the presence of a small child in the house), it is worth installing inlet ventilation valves. They are mounted above the radiator and provide a constant supply of fresh air without noise and drafts.
If you are interested in how to get rid of mold, already living in your house, use special antifungal and antiseptic solutions, which can be found in construction stores. However, use them as carefully as possible, strictly following the instructions, because such chemicals are toxic not only to mold, but also to humans.
Compliance with these simple recommendations will allow you to rid your home of mold forever.
