Using wallpaper as wall covering is one way of decorating a room that is often used by many people.
However, the use of wallpaper that is long enough often causes mold on the walls that are pasted with wallpaper.
Launching from Home Guides SF Gate, Thursday (16/2021), the fungus that sticks behind the wallpaper, even on the walls, can interfere with health and damage the interior of the house. The only way to get rid of the fungus is to remove the wallpaper.
Here are some steps that must be taken to remove mold from the wallpaper quoted from How To Clean Stuff.
Remove the wallpaper from the wall
First, you must wear protective equipment such as gloves and a mask. Because, fungal spores can be toxic to the skin, eyes, and even the lungs.
After the personal protective equipment is complete, gently peel or remove the worn wallpaper.
Use bleach
After all the wallpaper has been removed, it's time to clean the mold that has developed. Fill a bucket with one part water and one part bleach, then wet a sponge with the bleach solution.
Clean the wall
Start at the top and clean the walls with a damp sponge. Clean every area even if there doesn't appear to be any mildew.
Fungal spores are very small and cannot be seen. So, clean the entire surface of the wall pasted with wallpaper thoroughly.
