In the last moist and warm conditions, black or gray mold spots may appear on the outside. Surface mold usually forms on wood and rock surfaces, but also on metal, plastic and glass surfaces. Read the instructions for proper cleaning and prevention of mold.
Surface mome is a aesthetic disadvantage
Mold spores occur everywhere in nature. Mold mushrooms are an important part of the circulation of natural ingredients in the nature surrounding buildings. When forming on the exterior surfaces of buildings, mold is an aesthetic disadvantage, but it does not cause structural damage, such as decaying sponge, nor does the mold inside the buildings can cause.
When mold spores receive a favorable breeding ground for, for example, pollen sticking to the surfaces of the building, and the growth conditions are suitably warm and humid, the mold can grow and flourish. Warm autumn and winter increase the homemade risk.
In the same way as any dirt, mold can easily be washed away. Before maintenance painting, mold removal is particularly important to prevent mold growth.
Effective air circulation prevents mold growth
Dense vegetation around the buildings produces not only pollen suitable for mold food, they can create sheltered pockets where the air does not circulate enough, especially on the north side, where the surfaces receive little direct sunlight. Reducing crop can significantly improve air circulation. With their eaves, vessels and open porches may become more likely to mold with wall surfaces, as the moisture evaporation due to less ventilation is slower.
In some cases, the occurrence of mold may be related to structural aspects such as too low plinth or inadequate rainwater control. In some cases, the quality of wood cladding can also be an impressive factor. When the wood is dried rapidly at raised temperature, wood sugars and nitrogen -containing compounds can become enriched on the surface layers of the wood, and act as nutrient and substrate for mold if the conditions otherwise are favorable for mold growth.
Only dilute mold removal is required for maintenance wash
Keeping the exterior surfaces clean prevents mold from occurring: when mold spores have no food, they cannot grow. Washing with water alone or dilute washing solution, such as pine forest, cleans winter road dust and early summer pollen.
If mold spots appear on the surfaces, there is a mold remover that destroys mold spores. In the case of maintenance washing and no painted surfaces are not to be painted, the ashable washing solution as possible is used for washing. Too severe washing solution can damage and porridge the paint surfaces, which may help again adhere to dirt on the surfaces.
Uula mold washing is a safe alkaline detergent containing biocides that effectively removes mold from different surfaces. For maintenance wash, the product is diluted 1:10 and applied to the surface with a sponge, a washing cloth or a low pressure spray and is allowed to work for about 10 minutes, after which the detergent is thoroughly rinsed. Brushing the surface with a soft brush with rinsing helps to clean the stubborn areas, but you should avoid rubbing too much. For highly stubborn areas, you can use a slightly stronger solution by diluting a mold remover 1: 5.
Mold removal is important before maintenance painting
The painting is done on a clean surface, and before maintenance painting, it is always necessary to wash. The mold remover cleans not only the mold growth, but also the spores invisible to the eye, which are important to remove before painting. During maintenance painting, the wash solution can be diluted on slightly dirty surfaces 1: 2 and for very dirty surfaces in a ratio of 1: 1.
Be sure to protect your skin, eyes and airways, especially when using a syringe, and plants growing on the wall. Wash, allow the treatment to work, rinse the surface thoroughly and allow the surface to dry. After the treatment, it is recommended to apply a Uula Home protection , a binder -free biocide -based fluid, which remains under the paint surface. The mold protection dries in good weather a day, after which you can start painting.
Exterior paints contain mold antibodies
For foreign paints, the ingredients are selected so that the paint surface does not facilitate or cause mold or algae growth, and contain mold and algae to protect the paint surface. However, the properties and numbers of the substances used are limited by strict international and national environmental and health regulations. The raw materials used to be used in the past, such as lead and zinc dioxide, must no longer be used to the same extent, which is essential for the environment and people's health.
