Mold belongs to a kind of fungi. Usually, mold may be distributed in every corner of life, and it will exist on walls, clothes and air, but a small amount of mold will not cause disease. However, if mold grows in a large area at home because of water seepage or other reasons, you need to pay attention. Wen Tinghuan, a professor of parasitology at Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University, said that a large number of molds may cause various diseases, such as allergies, asthma, fungal infections and skin diseases. But different people's physique and immunity are different, so whether mold will cause disease varies from person to person.
Simple disinfection is difficult to treat.
Since it may be so harmful, how can we get rid of these annoying molds at home? Wen Tinghuan introduced that the growth of mold needs a warm environment, high humidity and certain organic matter. Therefore, if we can't improve the phenomenon of high humidity caused by water leakage or other factors at home, scrubbing with alcohol or 84 disinfectant can only play a role in disinfection, but it can't avoid the emergence of colonies.
Wen Tinghuan said that when the air humidity exceeds 60%, mold will start to multiply. Once it reaches more than 80%, the reproduction will be more rapid. Usually, the humidity at home is controlled at about 40%, which can inhibit the growth of mold. Like Ms. Zhang's home, the problem of water leakage in the home has been improved. First of all, you can use quicklime or silica gel to absorb water and reduce humidity. Followed by disinfection, alcohol and 84 disinfectant are naturally good choices, but a lot of alcohol is not easy to buy. Wen Tinghuan introduced that in fact, the detergents we use every day, such as washing powder and detergent, all contain an ingredient called sodium dodecyl sulfonate, which is used for disinfection. Therefore, use ordinary cleaning agent to wipe the wall or floor with mold. If you are not at ease, you can repaint the wall and replace the wooden floor. As for other furniture in the room, because there is a layer of paint on the surface, mold can't breed on it. After wiping and disinfection, you can continue to use it.
Some people worry that even if the molds attached to the walls and floors are removed, the spores remaining in the air will continue to attach and grow. Wen Tinghuan said that as long as the room is kept dry and dry, and there is no organic matter and humidity needed for growth, mold will not multiply in large quantities. If the problem of water leakage cannot be solved temporarily, it is best to reduce the air humidity through dehumidifier and other equipment to reduce the possibility of mold propagation.
Different positions are treated differently.
If there is water leakage and mildew in the home, then the first thing is definitely the damage to the walls and floors. After the water leakage problem is cured, the repair work and methods in different positions are different.
The surface of the>& gt wall
If the wall seepage is caused by internal reasons and does not involve the facade, then all the local wall skins can be shoveled off and scraped and repainted.
& gt& gt wallpaper
If there are red or black mildew spots on the wallpaper, the moldy part of the wallpaper can be removed first, and then the moldy part of the wall can be eradicated and leveled again. After drying, locally paste new wallpaper. Wallpaper manufacturers usually remind owners to keep the remaining wallpaper, and rubber powder is also easy to buy. It can be used as long as it is mixed with tap water to foam 10- 15 minutes. If it is only partial maintenance, the owner can operate it by himself.
& gt& gt ground
The floor is too moldy to handle, so you can only choose to replace it. If the floor is slightly mildewed and mildew spots appear, you can wipe it with a clean rag dipped in alcohol. If alcohol can't remove mildew spots, it can be wiped off with oxalic acid solution, and then it must be disinfected with alcohol. After the wooden keel under the solid wood floor is moldy, it is mainly to prevent it from further moldy.
