Soft, swollen or flaking finishes may indicate that the problem affects the inside of the material.<\/p><p>It is also advisable to <strong>remove nearby objects and protect the furniture<\/strong>. Stains should not be brushed dry, sanded or removed with a conventional household vacuum cleaner, as these practices can spread contaminated particles. To reduce exposure during a small clean-up, appropriate protective measures should be taken:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Sturdy gloves:<\/strong> prevent direct contact with the affected surfaces and the products used.<\/li><li><strong>Safety goggles:<\/strong> help prevent particles or splashes from reaching the eyes.<\/li><li><strong>Respiratory protection:<\/strong> a well-fitting particle mask, such as an FFP2 or N95 equivalent, reduces the inhalation of particles during the work.<\/li><li><strong>Controlled ventilation:<\/strong> allows the air to be refreshed during cleaning, without creating draughts that unnecessarily carry contaminated material into other rooms.<\/li><\/ul><p>People with asthma, respiratory conditions, severe allergies or a weakened immune system should not carry out these tasks themselves.<\/p><h3>Remove mould with water and detergent on washable surfaces<\/h3><p><strong>On hard, water-resistant materials<\/strong>, such as certain ceramic finishes, we can use a cloth or sponge lightly dampened with water and a mild detergent.<\/p><p><strong>Cleaning should be done with controlled movements<\/strong>, avoiding splashes and excessive rubbing. The aim is to physically remove the dirt and surface growth without damaging the finish.<\/p><p>It is best to <strong>work on a small area first and check<\/strong> how the material responds. If the paint starts to come off, the wall softens or there are signs of internal damp, we should stop cleaning and consider a different approach.<\/p><p>The tools used should be properly cleaned or disposed of where appropriate. We do not recommend using the same sponge afterwards to clean other surfaces in the home.<\/p><h3>Dry the wall and check the result<\/h3><p>A surface that stays damp after treatment may see mould grow back. For this reason, drying is just as important as the initial removal of the stains.<\/p><p>After removing any detergent residue in line with the characteristics of the material, we should <strong>help the surface dry with adequate ventilation<\/strong> and by controlling indoor humidity.<\/p><p><strong>If the wall is still damp, it should not be covered with paint<\/strong>, wallpaper or new finishes. First, we need to find out why it is not drying properly.<\/p><p>Over the following weeks we recommend checking the area. If stains, a musty smell or signs of deterioration reappear, it will be necessary to investigate whether there is water getting in or a condensation problem that has not yet been resolved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2b5f566 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2b5f566\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b844599\" data-id=\"b844599\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-da9160b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"da9160b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Which products should you use to remove mould from walls?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14280e3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14280e3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The choice of cleaner depends on the affected surface, the level of deterioration and the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions. A product suitable for tiles may be incompatible with a painted wall or a porous finish.<\/p><h3>Water and neutral detergent<\/h3><p><strong>For small stains on hard, washable surfaces<\/strong>, this is usually a sensible first option. A mild product removes surface dirt without immediately resorting to harsher substances.<\/p><p>The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends using detergent and water to clean mould from hard surfaces, followed by thorough drying. This recommendation should not automatically be applied to porous or damaged finishes.<\/p><p><strong>At Nord Baleares we place great importance on compatibility between the product and the material<\/strong>. When we do not know how a surface will react, we prefer to test its resistance before carrying out a more extensive clean.<\/p><p>We should also <strong>avoid soaking walls unnecessarily<\/strong>. With certain materials, too much water can penetrate the finish and make the original problem worse.<\/p><h3>Anti-mould products and bleach<\/h3><p>Specific cleaners may be formulated for different materials and levels of contamination. Some are <strong>designed for ceramic surfaces and grout<\/strong>, while others require particular application conditions.<\/p><p>Before using an anti-mould product, we should check that it is approved for the intended use, <strong>follow the label instructions and wear the recommended protective equipment<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Bleach can be used in certain compatible applications, but it is not a universal solution, nor is it necessary for every mould clean-up. Using it routinely does not replace the physical removal of residue or the repair of the damp problem either.<\/p><p>One precaution is especially important: <strong>never mix bleach with ammonia, vinegar, acids or other cleaning products<\/strong>, as dangerous gases may be released. On porous walls, delicate paints or damaged surfaces, we recommend avoiding aggressive treatments without a prior assessment.<\/p><h3>Do home remedies with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda work?<\/h3><p>Among the most widely shared solutions are vinegar, bicarbonate of soda and various homemade mixtures. Their popularity does not mean they are suitable for every surface or that they can solve any mould problem.<\/p><p>Vinegar is acidic and <strong>can be incompatible with certain materials, finishes or coatings<\/strong>. Bicarbonate of soda, for its part, can be used for some household cleaning tasks, but it does not guarantee the removal of mould growth from porous materials.<\/p><p>Nor do we recommend experimenting with homemade mixtures when we do not know the characteristics of the wall. Using several substances can leave residue, alter surfaces or cause dangerous reactions if incompatible products are combined.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-42b0e63 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"42b0e63\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f0b30dc\" data-id=\"f0b30dc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af6b80e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"af6b80e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to clean mould depending on the type of wall<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1be1da8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1be1da8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Water resistance, porosity and the condition of the finish determine the cleaning procedure<\/strong>.

When this vapour comes into contact with cold walls, it can cause condensation.<\/p><p>To reduce this problem we recommend airing rooms, using extractor fans correctly and preventing moisture from lingering for long periods.<\/p><p>The EPA advises keeping <strong>indoor relative humidity below 60%<\/strong> and, where possible, within a range of roughly 30% to 50%. A hygrometer lets you check whether conditions stay within these guideline values.<\/p><p>In homes and businesses in Mallorca, where outdoor conditions can vary throughout the year, it is worth adapting ventilation to the temperature and humidity.
