What is the best way to remove / eliminate mould?

Which is the best way to remove mould depends on the intensity of the infestation, the cause and the maximum effort of remediation that can be justified. Removing mould can be done by deconstruction (removal of sheetrock, removal of gypsum plaster and infested materials) and/or by applying suitable mould cleaners and antifungal solutions. Which measures are necessary should be assessed by a person with the appropriate expertise if the damage is >20cm² (or 50m²). For the removal of mould, alcohol or vinegar is often used as a household remedy for smaller areas. In professional remediation, on the other hand, functional products from the chemical industry are regularly used, which are highly effective and also efficient in use due to their reliable effect in removing mould. The use of products containing chlorine is generally not desired in residential and public buildings due to the long-lasting, unpleasant odour.

What is the best way to remove mould?

Acidic cleaners are often used for the superficial removal of mould, which at the same time neutralise musty odours. To destroy the deep-seated fungal mycelium in the substrate, the subsequent application of aqueous, odourless antifungal solutions is a suitable and reliable approach to reliably remove mould. Often, the cause of mould infestation is not clearly identified or eliminated. Insufficient ventilation, thermal bridges in buildings, but also energy-related renovation, can be the cause of mould infestation. Vapour diffusion-open emulsion paints with active film protection then offer good protection against mould and bacteria infestation on the painted surface.
