Surely the humidity and mold on the walls of the house will have affected us at some point in our lives, however we may think that it is not so serious that this invades a certain environment in our home. But far from thinking like that, each case is different and must be evaluated individually by a professional.
Let us keep in mind that most houses are built with a foundation structure that is in direct contact with the ground, which is why humidity is always present. It happens that over time, masonry walls absorb moisture that rises through the walls, forming mold. Therefore, we always recommend consulting with a construction professional to verify that it is not a structural problem (also ruling out a water leak in a pipe, for example).
Generally when we see the problem on the walls, we act immediately with cleaning and painting to make it look like new. However, the reality is that over the months and years, humidity returns, ruining the rooms of the house.
Below we look at a series of practical recommendations for the definitive solution to this problem:
Talc to remove moisture
Although it may seem strange, talcum powder is undoubtedly a faithful ally when it comes to combating humidity. Think about how a little talcum powder removes moisture from your sneakers or shoes, because in the same way it can help combat mold on the walls.
For this you simply have to sprinkle the talcum powder on the wall and then rub it with a cloth so that it penetrates.
Repeat the process several times for more effectiveness until all traces of moisture are eliminated.
