How to Remove Moisture from Walls and Never Let It Return

ADVERTISEMENT

We have talked several times about  excess humidity in the walls  and the resulting mold, a problem that can affect our homes especially when they are located in humid contexts and it is not possible to guarantee adequate ventilation.

Over time, concrete walls eventually  absorb moisture from the ground  , which rises through them until it becomes visible through  mold patches  . But mold growth on walls can also occur in apartments if they are not properly ventilated.

Usually when this problem occurs we try to solve it with generic cleaning products, maybe repainting the wall. However, if the problem is not completely eliminated, it will only take a few weeks before the mold returns.

1. Eliminate moisture with talcum powder

Talc is an excellent ally against humidity and acts on walls in the same way as on shoes: it extracts and absorbs humidity.

Simply pour some talcum powder on the walls and then rub with a cloth to work it into the walls. Repeat the process several times to make it even more effective in removing all traces of moisture.
