Deep penetration antifungal primer

How to fight fungus?

To destroy mold, you need to clean the room from moisture and dampness, treat it with special antiseptics, which contain aggressive chemicals that effectively remove mold. Such products can be purchased at any store. They are available in the form of liquids, sprays, and concentrates. When working with such powerful tools, you must follow safety precautions: wear work clothes, rubber gloves, a headscarf, and safety glasses. The chemical is applied to the walls and then removed along with the fungus. The best way to remove mold and prevent it from coming back is to scrape it down to the base of the wall and apply an antiseptic primer.

Home remedies can be used as alternative methods to combat mold. It is advisable to combine both substances with a mechanical method of removing fungus. It would also be a good idea to install a forced exhaust ventilation device and eliminate voids in the walls.

Briefly about the main thing

Any remedy for mold and mildew on walls works the same way: one penetrates the structure of the material, kills the pathogenic microorganism and prevents the damage from spreading further. There are a large number of chemical preparations and solutions that can be prepared from vinegar, chlorine, and hydrogen peroxide. Their use can eliminate the problem of the appearance of unattractive black spots, but without eliminating the causes of their occurrence, the fight will be pointless. The fungus will appear again and again, posing a threat to human health.

Usually, before work, the product is diluted with water and then applied to the affected area. To work, you may need a construction trowel, a stiff brush, a roller or a sprayer. Before applying the drug, the area must be cleared: remove the coating. The fungus first affects the upper layers; it spreads especially quickly inside walls covered with plaster. It penetrates through it and forms a branched mycelium. Therefore, first you need to completely remove the coating material with a spatula, and only then begin to “poison” the fungus. Typically, you leave the mold remover on the walls until it dries.

If the problem is not resolved the first time, you will have to re-process it. After the base has dried thoroughly, it must be coated with an antiseptic primer and re-plastered with cement mortar, after which the surface should be covered with a waterproofing compound. Then it will be possible to prevent the occurrence of “relapses”. The right anti-mold paint on the walls will look good. Its layer will protect against moisture penetration and will not allow fungal spores to penetrate deep into the finish again.

When wallpaper pasted on a concrete base is affected, you need to remove it completely, carefully remove the black deposits with a spatula, and only then treat the area with antiseptics. It is best to use deep penetration formulations for this. They are absorbed into the porous structure of concrete, kill the fungus and stop its spread. You can begin cosmetic repairs only when the antiseptic has completely dried.

Mold-infected plasterboard sheathing will also have to be completely dismantled and thrown outside

It is important to carefully inspect the sheathing after dismantling. The absence of traces of its damage does not allow one to refuse preventive disinfection

This is more relevant when the sheathing is assembled from wood. If you thoroughly saturate all the planks with wood preservative, you can reinstall the drywall.
