How to Deal with Moldy, Blistered, or Peeling Walls Without Hiring a Professional
Over time, your home’s walls may develop mold, blister, or peel, especially during the rainy season when the problem tends to worsen. Moldy walls not only diminish the aesthetic appeal of your home but also pose health risks to your family. While many people turn to professionals for help, you can easily address these issues yourself using the following methods. This approach saves you money and keeps your walls looking clean and fresh.
1. Mold Treatment
Step 1: Start by removing visible mold. Use a dry toothbrush to scrub off the mold spots gently. Then, take a soft cloth soaked in alcohol and wipe the wall to dry it out and prevent further mold growth.
Step 2: Mix bleach and water in a 1:99 ratio. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and spray it on the moldy areas. This helps eliminate mold effectively. During humid weather, you can use a stronger mixture of bleach and water in a 1:20 ratio for better results.
Once the wall has dried, use sandpaper to smooth the surface. Apply a layer of waterproof primer before repainting to prevent future mold caused by moisture.
