Moss on walls is a common problem that many homeowners face, especially in cold and humid areas. Moss usually appears on walls that do not get enough sunlight or in areas that are frequently exposed to water, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or protected exterior areas of the house. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, moss can also be a sign of a more serious moisture problem in the house.
Walls covered with moss not only make the appearance of the house dull and less maintained, but can also damage the surface of the wall. Moss that continues to grow can penetrate the paint layer, causing the paint to peel and making the wall brittle. If left untreated, moss can even cause structural damage to the wall, especially if humidity continues to increase.
To overcome the problem of moss on the wall, proper cleaning and prevention measures are needed so that the moss does not reappear. If you are confused, you can imitate the method used by a netizen who owns the YouTube account INDONESIAN NATURE TV. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted to only using simple ingredients, one of which came from the kitchen.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube INDONESIAN NATURE TV on Thursday (29/8), the kitchen ingredient in question is salt. Well, this salt has strong abrasive properties, so it can remove old moss stains. However, so that the salt can work more optimally, also use other ingredients, hard water or HCL.

How to use it, simply mix 1/4 cup of water and 1 tbsp of table salt into a plastic bucket. After that, stir until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and the salt is dissolved. Make sure the salt is completely dissolved so that the cleaning power can be maximized.

When the salt has dissolved, pour 250 ml of hard water. After that, stir again until evenly mixed using a spoon. When it is evenly mixed, this liquid is ready to use. You can use a brush to apply the liquid.

But before applying, it is better to use gloves first. Then apply the liquid to the mossy wall using a brush. In one swipe, the moss will immediately disappear. But for maximum results, let the liquid sit for a few seconds to absorb. Then rub a little using a brush with a little pressure. This process will make the moss immediately disappear. Do this process repeatedly until it is completely even throughout the entire section.

The final step, rinse the wall using clean water. Immediately after rinsing, the moss stains on the wall are completely clean and shiny. This indicates that the mixture of ingredients is very effective in removing chronic moss stains.
