It is a living organism and a type of fungus that grows well in moisturized surfaces, with warm conditions. These organisms cannot make their own food and therefore depend on organic substances to gain nutrients. There are many different kinds of mold. A good example is Rhizopus stolonifer which affects fruits and vegetables. Others include penicillium, aspergillius. The existence of these fungi in the environment is of great significance although has some side effects. Therefore, before deciding on the ways of controlling mold it is important also to know the main factors that support their growth. This includes food, temperatures and spores. Below are ways on how to get rid of mold.

From the beginning it is clear that mold thrives best in dump conditions. Therefore, it is important to always dry clean the surfaces you have been working on especially in the kitchen. Other places that are prone to support the growth of mold are the bathrooms and stores. Also ensure that the plumbing work is well done because if there is any leakage it will lead to dumpiness. All you need to do is ensure that you home is well ventilated as this will greatly help you curb the factors that supports growth.

You will need to purchase mold catching filter in case you do not have them but if they are available ensure that they are well installed in the air conditioning system. The filters will help by trapping the woolly fungi and hence reducing the spread and number of mold in your house.

They can also be controlled by use of bleaching agents. This works best on plates, stove, cookers and even on the floor. Working with bleaching agent requires safety measures like use of gloves and masks to ensure your safety as the user. Bleach works best on its own.

If you decide to go the natural way, I would refer you to go for vinegar. It is one of the best original ways of cleaning up the fungus and it is not limited to a specific place but you can use to clean your home. It is easier working with vinegar since you do not need to mix it with anything. You only need to apply on the fungi and give it sometime before cleaning it.

Fermented liquids and ethanol can also be used to serve the same purpose as vinegar. This advantage is that their smell is not as strong as that of vinegar. For example, alcoholic products such as spirits contain toxic substances that kill mold and inhibit their growth.

Lastly, existences of gaps on your floor or tile to be specific can hold water. This provides good conditions for the growth of tiny fungus. You need to refill the gap using a thin mortar in order to prevent further damages and destroying the conditions favorable for their growth.
