    Clean the moldy wall first, so as not to infect other walls, and then use sandpaper to polish the moldy wall, if there is delamination, use a shovel to level it; If the wall is uneven, it needs to be repaired with putty; If the wall is flat, it is recommended to apply a sealing primer first, and then brush latex paint, you can buy some wall antifungal agent to add to the latex paint to assist and prevent mildew.

    The main causes of mold on the wall:

    1. Moldy due to seasonal reasons: it is best not to repair it immediately. Because the moisture in the wall is gradually evaporating, it is a normal physical change of the decorative material.

    If you apply a new paint finish before the moisture has completely evaporated, the moisture will continue to evaporate and will come out of other places, and the wall may become moldy again.

    2. Mold of the wall caused by the failure to do a good job of wall insulation: check whether the wall has been insulated first. Hit the wall with an inspection hammer, if the sound is hollow, it means that the wall has an insulation layer, if the sound is muffled, it means that the wall has not been insulated.

    If there is an insulation layer, it is necessary to check whether there are cracks in the exterior wall of the building, if there are no cracks, it means that the insulation material is not good, and it should be replaced, which is the root cause.

    3. If the wall has been damp: you can choose a colorful interior wall paint with good waterproofness, and the specific construction method is as follows: let the damp wall have a drying process of one to two months, and then brush a layer of waterproof slurry mixed with cement on the wall to play a moisture-proof role.

    Use gypsum putty to fill the pits and hemp surface of the wall, then scrape the putty, and after drying, use sandpaper to smooth the wall, repeat twice, and clean it. Apply the primer twice with a paint roller on a dry and clean wall.

    4. If the wallpaper is used for the wall: it should be stored carefully, because the wallpaper is the most prone to mold. The correct way to remove mold from wallpaper:

    The root causes of mildew are: 1. The waterproofing of the exterior wall is not done well, and the water seepage. 2. The room is humid, and the moisture penetrates into the putty layer. 3. Improper selection of putty materials, ordinary putty is not waterproof and easy to mold.

    If it is water seepage on the exterior wall, the treatment method of mold: please re-waterproof the exterior wall, otherwise it will not solve the problem from the inside.
