Many neat housewives may face the problem of mold, as fungus can appear due to many reasons.

Most often, the culprit is high humidity in the room.

If, for example, condensation appears in the room, this significantly increases the risk of mold formation. Sometimes the problem occurs due to flooding from neighbors or due to faulty sewerage.

Once you have eliminated the root cause of the mold, you will need to think about how to get rid of the unpleasant marks in your living areas.
