Mouldy White Wall

[dlst 0]

Hi guy,

due to the warm and humid climate in Singapore. My white walls are turing mouldy!! Its really sad to see my wall having patches of yellow.

Is there any way i can remove and preventing the mould from growing in the future?

Please advice.

Thanks in advance=)

Using a high quality anti-mould paint helps. Do you know what type of paint was used on that wall currently? If it is already using a good anti-mould paint and you still suffer from the issue, then it is likely related to excessive moisture. Solving the issue of moisture on wall is a litte more complex.

Please paint a coat or sealer before your paint. It will help to block off moisture in the concrete.

Paint with nippon oil base sealer, and good anti mould nippon paint buy dehumidifier. U can pay painter labor fee $1xx per day

Use oil based sealer. And then use matt instead of glossy finishing. The advatange of matt finishing is easy touch up, you can do it yourself as and when. Alternatively a direct painter can do the job for around $150.

You can use something called HCL89. Its strong enough to clean the mould as well as kill it

I usually get it from http://hcl89.byethost10.com or http://hcl89.atwebpages.com

One thing i like about it is that is creates like a protection like on my wall/tiles so that it prevents future mould or etc

Take Care

How do you use this HCL89? Can we just wipe the existing wall clean, let it dry and then apply this HCL89? How to prep the mixture?

Mix one part bleach to three parts water and apply it with a sponge or rag. It remove mold form walls.

The using of bleach simply does not work as they mold seems to return with a vengeance, you have to find a way to kill the mold spores else no matter how many times you clean it will always keep coming back

Use mold-resistant products like mold-resistant drywall or mold-resistant Sheetrock, and mold inhibitors for paints.
