Mold in an apartment not only damages the interior of the home, but also harms human health.

Even if the fungal plaque has taken over a large area of the wall, it is too early to despair. There is a chance to restore the surface to its original appearance.

Mold is a mycelium that grows much deeper than visible surfaces, so regular cleaning is not enough.

But you won't have to spend money on disinfection or expensive chemicals. There are simpler ways to clean a wall from mold stains.

Chlorine-based products, such as bleach, are excellent for removing fungal plaque. But you need to be careful with it, as it can cause allergies.

Instead of bleach, you can use hydrogen peroxide, which cleans and disinfects well. Another option is potassium permanganate, but it works a little worse.

Lemon can perform several functions at once: antiseptic, bleach, stain remover, cleaner. The fruit helps remove black mold. The acids concentrated in lemons destroy the mycelium.

Squeeze the juice of 3-5 lemons into a cup and then apply it to the moldy area. Leave for 5 minutes, then wipe the surface with a damp towel. To improve the cleaning result, you can apply the juice a second time and not rinse.
