MOLD – CAUSES, PREVENTION, TREATMENT

Mold is a resilient fungus that develops due to moisture and water vapor, usually caused by temperature differences between warm and cold areas, typically during the winter months from December to March.

CAUSES:
• High indoor humidity levels (above 50%)
• Steam in bathrooms and kitchens
• Drying clothes indoors
• Water leakage from pipes or drainage
• Insufficient building insulation
HOW TO IDENTIFY IT:
• Black spots on surfaces
• Wall bubbling
• Unpleasant odor

PREVENTION:
• Proper building insulation (MONOSIS MARMOLINE System)
• Frequent ventilation with fresh air
• Dehumidifiers
• Humidity meter

TREATMENT:
Once the mold is identified and the cause corrected, the surface can be cleaned with DECOTRIC’s powerful anti-mold cleaners GLUTOCLEAN AM or GLUTOCLEAN STOP (chlorine-free). The product is sprayed onto the surface and left to act for 30 minutes. Then, the surface is wiped clean with a damp cloth. For better protection, it is recommended to use the FLYING COLOURS INTERIOR anti-mold paint by MARMOLINE or DECOTRIC’s concentrated anti-mold solution GLUTOCLEAN AF during painting.
