How to deal with green mold growing on wooden furniture

Many people think that the furniture has mold, and the mold is solved by wiping it off with a rag, but in fact, this is a wrong idea, which can only be temporarily eliminated or covered, and cannot be completely eliminated, and after a period of time, the mold will appear again, and it will become more and more serious. Because mold is a highly viable biological flora, if it does not completely eliminate its growth environment or kill its flora, it will multiply and spread rapidly in the corresponding environment. Long-term exposure and inhalation of mold can cause respiratory diseases and allergic symptoms, such as bronchitis and tonsillitis.

Hay fever, asthma.

If there are small areas of mildew on wood furniture and other wooden panels, soak a towel in soda water first.

wring it out and wipe the plaque clean. Sparkling water has an antibacterial effect and can also remove mold in a short time. However, this trick is only suitable for small areas.

If there is mildew, it should be wiped clean and dried in the house, and then try to move it out to dry it when there is sun.

Furniture mold removal is only the first step, we must know that furniture mold is mainly because of moisture, therefore, the most critical step in furniture mold removal is dehumidification, here are some commonly used dehumidification tips:

1.Charcoal dehumidification. Charcoal dehumidification is the most popular way to prevent moisture.

You can add water to boil the black charcoal for 10 minutes in advance, filter out the water, ventilate and dry it, put it in a breathable basket for two days, and put it in the diagonal position in the house. Put 5 to 10 kg in each room. Charcoal** is cheap, and it can be reused after drying, which is economical.

2. Dehumidification of newspapers. This method is suitable for small confined spaces, such as wardrobes, shoe closets, etc. For example, at the bottom of the closet, the inside of the cabinet door can be covered with newspaper, which not only absorbs moisture, but also repels insects from the smell of ink on the newspaper.

You can also stuff your wet shoes with newspaper to absorb water and keep them out of shape.

3. Moisture absorption box and moisture absorption bag. Moisture absorbent boxes are mostly used for moisture absorption in wardrobes and shoe cabinets, and generally contain calcium chloride.

Most of the granules are also added with flavor, so they integrate the functions of dehumidification, aromatherapy, anti-mildew, and deodorization. In addition to drying clothes, moisture absorbent bags can also be used to dehumidify leather goods, books, cameras, computers, discs, etc. It works well if placed in a confined space.

That's Curie.

If you bask in the sun for 2 hours, you will basically not grow back unless you get damp again! General mold will not do much harm to the human body, you can rest assured of this! There's a lot of mold in the air!

Solid wood furniture itself is not subject to special moisture-proof treatment, and this should be paid attention to during maintenance, and after the solid wood furniture is damp, the changes are obvious, the surface will change color and even breed mildew, and if you do not deal with it for a long time, it will lead to expansion and deformation and cracking of the damp place.

The maintenance of solid wood furniture is more cumbersome, it belongs to high-end furniture, daily maintenance needs special detergents for maintenance, and needs to be waxed regularly, moisture-proof can be put in a pack of activated carbon for dehumidification.

If it is already moldy, you can try to remove it according to the following methods.

1. The mildew on the old wood can be removed with milk, alcohol, ammonia, potassium permanganate, and sodium bisulfite. Caused by the wood absorbing too much water. This is a kind of particleboard or high-density board, high water absorption, this phenomenon is difficult to deal with, wipe off mildew, eliminate water sources, keep ventilation smooth so that it is naturally dry, there is water inside, and it is useless to deal with it outside.

2. You can try to use mold removal spray, which can also be said to be bleach, which is a kind of oxidation bleaching that uses the strong oxidation of hypochlorous acid. Mold and blackening, which is mainly caused by the melanin metabolized by the mold and its mold on the wooden board, the use of detergent is effective, but generally it will also leave more obvious black spots.

If the wooden furniture is moldy, wash it if it can be washed, remove the stain if it can't, and often dry it in the sun to kill the mold. There are many ways to prevent mold, and the main reason for mold in furniture is that the environment is humid, and the humidity of the air is relatively large, which is easy to breed bacteria. Therefore, we usually ventilate and expose the furniture to sunlight to avoid it in a humid environment.

The four main factors of mold growth:

First, the mold must be in contact with the air, it is difficult for the mold to reproduce under vacuum conditions, such as the food packaging with vacuum aluminum film packaging is not moldy, second, the mold needs to be in a suitable temperature and humidity conditions to multiply in large quantities, such as dark and humid places, water molecules will penetrate into the product or attach to the surface of the product, resulting in excessive product humidity, this reason is the highest factor of mold, but it is a link that can be controlled at low cost by man, three, Mold is a kind of microorganisms, but also needs nutrients, such as glue starch, protein, leather oil and wood fiber are all mold nutrient sources, fourth, mold everywhere, in the air, dust, soil, sweat, especially easy to stay on some uneven surfaces, such as furniture seams, fabric and wood surface.

In fact, mildew prevention is very simple:

1. Bamboo and wood antifungal agent.

Second, the surface is painted, and the paint is added with anti-mildew agent.

I have more experience in this area and hope to help you.

White vinegar to wipe wooden furniture not only has no harm but also benefits, not only can get rid of the smell of detergent, but also make the furniture as bright as new, with vinegar to wipe the furniture is good, because the molecular structure of vinegar is relatively large, so its molecules can encompass the paint molecules and other molecules in the furniture.
