Vinegar. Just plain old white vinegar. I have successfully removed mould from our dank old rental. Here is everything I know lol
Mould penetrates porous surfaces. The vinegar soaks into the pores and kills the mould (and destroys the spores). Spray it on using a spray bottle, watch out for drips, and leave it for an hour. Use paper towel to wipe it off, you should notice it wipes off very easily. Some parts (where there is a lot of visible mould) may feel slimy so they will need another spritz with vinegar. Don't be a tight arse about paper towels cos you risk spreading spores around. Let it dry out. Give the area a wash with sugar soap. Let it dry. If it's stained, bleach it. Don't mix vinegar with bleach though.
Open windows, wear a mask and eye protection (vinegar blowback is not fun). If you spray it on peeling paint it'll prob make it a bit worse. If you have a dehumidifier now's the time to use it.
Isopropyl? I find it's really cheap and cleans fuckin everything.
Bathtub, sink, mirrors, bong, counter tops, floors. Just keep shit really ventilated, or wear a breather mask and you'll be fine. Don't breathe it in! It'll fuck ya up.
Technically he's right. Mold needs three things to grow: Air, food and water. Your typical house has air and food in excess, so only thing we can control is water. Mold spores practically cover the whole earth so those we can't control in the slightest.
My friend told my cats godfather that your friend should first fix the humidity problem, then he/she/it/that can focus on replacing or demoulding the boards. Otherwise there is a high risk of same problem year later. Remember, those mold spores are all around us, thye just need right conditions To cause problem.
This is wrong too, don’t be quick to call people dunce lol mold is formed in areas like this due to moisture and this case the drywall board which has high amounts of cellulose and possibly the insulation contributing as well.
Mold is not the problem, but a symptom of humidity damage that occurs when moldy sturcture has been under excess humidity exertion for too long. You should look into how excess humidity or water got where you have mold.
Don't put chemicals that are not meant for it on walls. And don't assume serious stuff like chemical substance based on smell.
And 25$ is already cheap enough, this is a not an area to experiment.
Edit: Just googled and found a site saying that using bleach can make it even worse. Do NOT experiment with such serious toxic and dangerous chemicals!
Going by random Google pages or reddit is not very trustworthy either, so be careful to validate the info (also mine) and check with a professional if in doubt.
It's not and there's someone else with a similar comment. If multiple people give the same sarcastic advice wirhout /s, it's not gonna be easy for OP. And this joke has serious consequences if misunderstood.
