Mold that sticks to the walls will usually leave black stains, making the walls look dull and dirty.

Brilio.net - Areas of the house that are less exposed to sunlight usually tend to be damp. This condition can cause the surrounding walls to become moldy. Basically, mold will grow when there is excess humidity, thereby triggering the growth of mold spores in the air. Apart from high humidity, lack of air circulation and water leaks that are not repaired immediately can also cause moldy walls.

Mold that sticks to the walls will usually leave black stains, making the walls look dull and dirty. Therefore, black mold on the walls must be eradicated immediately. One way to eradicate mold stains can be done by applying a special agent, such as bleach or mold-killing liquid.

Apart from that, there are also those who choose to rub the fungus stains directly. However, please note that this method can damage and peel the wall paint. Therefore, you should use other, more effective and safer methods for wall painting.

Luckily, a YouTube user GO VLOG ID once shared a simple trick to eradicate black mold on the walls of the house without damaging the paint. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that he only relied on one kitchen ingredient. Reported by BrilioFood on Monday (3/6), the kitchen ingredient used is table vinegar.

How to use it, just pour the vinegar into a small container (without mixing any ingredients). Then apply vinegar to the moldy wall. To make it easier to spread evenly, you can use an old toothbrush. However, you don't need to rub it first, just apply it to the part affected by the fungus stain. Do this process evenly over all moldy parts of the wall.

"Don't miss anything or don't clean it because then the fungus will spread again. And don't brush it straight away because it could damage the paint," said YouTube GO VLOG ID.

After smearing it with vinegar, let it sit for 10 minutes. Next, prepare another, larger container. Then fill it with water and a little vinegar, stir thoroughly using an old toothbrush .

If so, dip the cloth in the vinegar water. After that, use the cloth to rub the part of the wall that was smeared with vinegar. When rubbed, the black mold stain will immediately be removed in one swipe. Continue rubbing slowly until the mold stain is completely gone.

"In one swipe, the fungus is immediately removed and this doesn't damage the paint," he explained further.
