very good question

Dear Mayson Al-Hadraawy ,

Thank you for your kind feedback.

Dear Igor Boichuk

mold in the house?? or bathroom?

You mean some kind of mushroom?

Mold?

Mold grows in damp, dark,humid and warm places.

So it must be dehydrated.

or using baking soda or Vinegar or Hydrogen peroxide (oxygenated water) can be useful.

Dear Nasim Imani ,

Since the bathroom is usually part of the house, I also mean the bathroom in the house. But mold is usually not confined to the bathroom. In humid and cool climates you can find it in any room.

Of course, mold is a fungus.

Thank you very much for your valuable piece of advice and for the link.

Best regards.

Dear Igor,

It is so difficult to get rid of the mold as these organisms form spores and replicated by these spores, so if these spores disseminate in the environment of house or lab, so when we remove the mold these spores in the environment germinated again to form a new organism. So in order to get rid of mold or fungi, the best way fumigation using formaldehyde and potassium Potassium permanganate and this need a special procedure and concentration to do. As the fumigation get rid of the spores and sterilized the fissures and all corners of the place. Spores are highly resistant to unfavorable conditions and can still dormant for a long period then germinate when favorable conditions occur.

Dear Manal Hadi Kanaan ,

Thank you so much for such an exhaustive answer. There seems to be hope. Or, at least, very little hope. Such as you describe it, it will always reappear. On the other hand, one cannot let it ride. What a predicament.

I am sure it is very bad for our health.

Best regards

Dear Manal Hadi Kanaan ,

I meant "There seems to be no hope." Another typo of mine.

And thank you again

Mold is unhygienic in the house, that is why apart from cleaning everyday, we must check our shoes to remove soils before keeping them. Also cleaning bathroom every weekend. Also put hot water constantly inside the sink to remove some related mold

Dear Ajibola Ibrahim Quadri ,

Thank you very much for your feedback.

There is no doubt whatsoever about mold being not only unhygienic but also very unhealthy. I think, however, that as it is not dust or dirt, simple cleaning does not go too far in eradicating mold. Even if it is but a small patch. Some more drastic measures are necessary, I'm afraid.

Best regards

How about a combination of bleach and hydrogen peroxide then left for 24 hours

Please take a look at this useful link.

Dear Igor,

I totally agree with you some of these molds produce mycotoxins, these toxins are very dangerous such as aflatoxins as considered predisposing factors for liver and kidney cancers. These toxins increase or accelerate the oxidation process and decrease protein synthesis and suppress immune system.

I totally agree with you.

As well as I totally agree with Anastas Ivanov Ivanov , molds need humid conditions to grow.

Dear Terry Purvis

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. This is about regular mould. I think, this is a relatively mild case, fortunately, not at my place, but at my friends'. This is in their pantry, actually, a rather small patch in its corner. It lasts for years. As soon as they obliterate it and think it's all over for good, it slowly reappears. This is a plastered brick wall.

Many thanks for the link.

Dear Igor Boichuk

Hello

Do you think it might be from the food you keep or the sunlight that doesn't shine at home?

Do you want to visit this site?

https://www.cdc.gov/mold/dampness_facts.htm

My mother says some household acids can be used for bathing and disinfecting, and Then wash and dry it with a napkin Or broom.

I hope you find a good solution

There is always a way that the situation can get better.

Dear Nasim Imani ,

Thank you so much for your very kind participation. In fact, this is my friends' problem, but I am intent on helping them, as they have small children.

And I am very grateful for your psychological support. It is really very kind of you.

Best regards.

Dear Nasim Imani ,

I've just noticed your previous post, sorry.

Yes, you are right, it might be because of the vegetables they keep in this pantry (including sometimes potatoes). And, of course, there is no sunlight in it, just electricity. Yes, I agree, all those all factors that should be eliminated if they want to get rid of this mold.

Many thanks for your kind feedback. I appreciate it very much.

2. Vinegar

Mix 1 cup white vinegar with 1/4 cup water. Spray it on the item's surface, let it dry, and rinse and wipe clean.

3. Tea Tree Oil

Mix 1 t tea tree essential oil with 1 cup hot water or distilled white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray it on the item's surface, allow it to sit, and wipe away.

4. Hydrogen Peroxide

Mix 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide with 1 cup water. Spray it on the item's surface, let it dry, and rinse and wipe clean.

5. Baking Soda

Mix 1/4 T baking soda into a spray bottle of water. Spray moldy surfaces, scrub, and rinse clean. You can even spray the area again and allow it to dry to prevent future growth. You can also spritz this solution into carpeting after vacuuming.

6. Store Favorites

Purchase quick cleaning solutions that can remove mold and help prevent the regrowth of mold and mildew. Items like Lysol Disinfecting Wipes and Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover can get the job done quickly. You may also want to invest in something like the OXO Good Grips Deep Clean Brush Set, which can deep clean areas that could be housing mold.

The best way to get rid of mold in the home is by ventilating the house in an excellent way and exposing the house to strong lighting and preferably sunlight, if possible.

Dear Dr. Shakir Tuleab ,

Many thanks for your valuable feedback.

The problem is that in cold countries in winter it can be quite difficult to thoroughly ventilate the house. And in winter there is little sunlight as well. But I am sure that it would be a perfect remedy in summer.

* Mold is a type of fungus that increases the chance of its growth in humid places and that does not get enough ventilation, and places that are not exposed to the sun directly, and its types are numerous and multiply, and may reach hundreds of thousands of species. Mold grows due to moisture by forming spores, which are the primary method for reproduction and growth of mold. In other words, mold is a type of microscopic fungal organism that analyzes organic matter on all forms of surfaces of various types if appropriate and stimulating conditions for their growth are created. It can spread over plant leaves, various food types, wallpaper, wood surfaces, and ceilings

* Get rid of moisture and mold: some small amounts of mold and moisture will not have a significant pathological impact on individuals directly, except that if moisture and the accompanying mold persist and spread significantly and do not try to eliminate it and limit its growth, this will affect a satisfactory way Individuals must have some symptoms and chronic allergies, in addition to damage in the internal environment facilities such as furniture, wallpaper, industrial ceilings, etc., and thus it appears that it is very important to find the source of moisture and try to eliminate it and remove it, otherwise it is likely that fungi and mold will return to growth from New Despite all the cleaning processes and methods used, however, there are many methods and methods that can be used to eliminate and eliminate mold and moisture, the most important of which are the following: It is important to carry out the general cleaning process and search for the primary source of moisture and remove it, purify rotting places and make sure From the process of drying and drying, i.e. it is important to ensure that the source of moisture and residue of the mold is removed completely and completely before replacing some elements of the internal environment, such as some pieces of furniture, so that the mold does not transfer to it and grow back on it again. It is affected by the wall panels, wallpaper, insulating materials, and gypsum due to its absorption of water and the difficulty of its evaporation and dryness, which makes it completely and final impossible to clean and sterilize it difficult and semi-impossible, and thus it becomes better to get rid of it to avoid the growth and appearance of the mold again, i.e. it is better to remove the cause of the mold Basically, it is not enough to kill him, but the roughest surfaces that do not absorb water can be kept after cleaning, sterilizing, and drying them like glass, metals, and some plastic materials.

When the water comes into contact with wooden furniture, mold on it usually grows quickly in the event that it is ventilated and dried, and in the case of treating and cleaning the rotting areas within twenty-four hours, it becomes possible to completely clean them and not need to get rid of the damaged parts. As for the mold on upholstered furniture, it is possible to extract Fabric covers and removal of traces of spores, fungi, and molds, using the vacuum cleaner externally and in a dry and sunny place, while the remaining parts and traces of the mold can be removed using a cloth dampened with diluted alcohol or diluted solutions with water.

When cleaning fungi, spores and mold, it is very important to wear protective clothing, such as gloves to protect hands from cleaning materials and mold, and glasses to protect the eyes from entering dry spores, and a mask to protect the lungs when breathing from inhaling fungi, thus avoiding any allergic reactions, eye problems, and congestion In general, keeping the ventilation of bathrooms and kitchens away from storing books and wooden furniture in areas known to be wet, such as basements and basements, in addition to addressing all water leakage problems in buildings, which limits the aggravation and development of you R mold.

Once you have the mold you can spray dilute bleach and wipe off. The smell of chlorine may remain for some time. Air out the area well. As a preventive measure ventilate mold-prone areas with an exhaust fan to remove moisture. Also allow sunshine to come in.

The use of disinfectants with antiseptics will eliminate them.

Hi,

I would suggest you to do something close to a fumigation, which we do in our microbiology labs. Place boiling water in a strategic location, add some bleaching powder to it or some commercial disinfectant solution, and allow the fumes to spread throughout. Remember to follow the safety precautions.

There are chemical solutions against mold, but first the source of moisture must be eliminated

Dear Prof. Cornel Ionescu ,

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Yes, but many of these solutions have but a temporary effect.

1- Full and regular ventilation: just partially opening the windows does not help much. Airflow must be generated inside the house, by opening windows and doors (especially the balcony door) at the same time. The duration of the ventilation period is related to the weather and temperature.

2- Do not let the rooms cool too much because the hot air absorbs moisture from the walls. So even when leaving the house it is recommended to let the heating run at a low temperature: between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius. Here the good insulating layer benefits. The walls and ceiling must be well insulated from the outside to maintain heat inside the house.

Mildew ... scary and useful!

Flower-like heads

The fungus takes its colorful dye through the spores, which clump on the threads of fine strings. When her image is enlarged, these spores look like flowers. As for the color, usually yellow, green, brown, black or red, it is determined by the ground end most likely to contain the fungus.

3- The kitchen and bathroom must be constantly ventilated: because of the creation of a lot of moisture during the cooking process, fresh air must be allowed into the kitchen. The same applies after showering.

4- Pursuit of moisture everywhere: Once we open our eyes in the morning of winter, we will see water droplets on the windowsill. These drops should be wiped well.

5- Drying the laundry: We should not dry the clothes inside the house. And if one is forced to do so due to the weather, it must be ventilated during the drying period.

6- Keep furniture away from walls, as this allows for better ventilation.

7- Nature instead of chemistry: natural products such as that the floor is made of wood, as well as furniture, useful in this respect because it absorbs more moisture than industrial materials, according to the site "Abbotiken".

Thorough cleaning and maintaining a clean, dry home after are essential to getting rid of mold forever

Certainly, thank you.

To get rid of fungal growth, we must create the opposite conditions for this growth

Like good lighting, especially sunlight, to bring it inside the house is essential.

And to get rid of anything that leads to increased humidity in the house, good ventilation, opening windows and getting rid of the organic materials on which the fungi grow when they are found in the house.

By cleaning and maintaining the home, dry the home every day as soon as possible.

As far as I know, as a rule, everyone cleans and maintains one's home. Still, it does not always guarantee the absence of mold. Climates are different and some are very conducive to mold. I am sure that it has nothing to do with slovenliness.

Incidentally, I do not quite understand what Mr. Dmytro Leshchenko means by his "Do not breed mold?" This is probably some kind of particularly subtle joke, based on personal experience. But I don't care for such jokes.
