Don't Ignore The Mildew Issue of Silicone Sealant

According to statistical data, after five years of decoration, the glass glue in the kitchen and bathroom of the home is prone to mold. This is mainly due to various factors such as humid kitchen and bathroom environments, poor ventilation, and the inherent characteristics of glass glue. 

To determine whether there is mold growth in the glass glue, it is necessary to regularly inspect the glue application area and observe with the naked eye whether there are mold spots, spots, or fungal hyphae. This is the most direct and simple method, but it needs to be executed regularly to maintain vigilance. 

Mold has appeared on the glass adhesive, it is recommended to handle it immediately. Mold not only affects aesthetics, but also poses a potential threat to human health. At the same time, the growth of mold may also lead to a decrease in the performance of glass glue, affecting the sealing effect. Therefore, once mold is found on the glass adhesive, measures such as cleaning or replacement should be taken as soon as possible. 

For slightly moldy glass glue, professional glass glue cleaners or mild detergents can be used to clean the moldy glass glue. Avoid using overly irritating cleaning agents to prevent damage to the glass adhesive. 

If the mold has penetrated deep into the glass glue and is difficult to remove by cleaning, I suggest removing the original glass glue and reapplying it with specialized anti mold glass glue. When re gluing, in order to prevent mold growth, the editor has compiled several construction precautions to share with everyone: 

01 Choose specialized anti mold glass adhesive 

Priority should be given to selecting glass adhesives with reliable quality and anti mold function, such as specialized anti mold glass adhesives. This type of glass adhesive can effectively inhibit the growth of mold while maintaining stable performance. 

02 Keep the construction surface dry 

Before gluing, ensure that the construction surface is dry, clean, and free of dust and oil stains. Clean the surface with a cleaning agent and ensure thorough drying to improve the adhesion and anti mold effect of the anti mold adhesive. 

03 Uniform application of glue 

Use a professional glue gun to evenly apply glue, ensuring that the glue is evenly distributed in the area that needs to be sealed. Pay attention to the construction speed and avoid being too fast or too slow to ensure that the gel can fully adhere and effectively seal the gaps. 

04 Smooth application Use a scraper or specialized tool to level the surface after gluing, ensuring that the glue is tightly adhered to the surface. This not only looks beautiful, but also helps improve the sealing effect and reduce the chance of mold growth. 

05 Pay attention to ventilation 

During the construction process, maintaining a good ventilation environment can help reduce the accumulation of harmful gases and also facilitate the drying and curing of glass glue. 

06 Follow product instructions 

 Follow the instructions for using glass adhesive products during construction, paying attention to the construction temperature and humidity conditions to ensure that the glass adhesive can fully exert its performance. 

 07 Regular Inspection and Maintenance After gluing, regularly check the glass glue and its surrounding area for signs of mold growth, and clean and maintain it in a timely manner. Keeping the construction area clean and dry can help reduce the environment for mold growth. 

In summary, kitchen and bathroom glass glue in the home is prone to mold after five years of decoration. However, by selecting suitable glass glue, maintaining ventilation and dryness, regularly cleaning and maintaining, and using anti mold products, the risk of mold can be effectively reduced and the beauty and hygiene of the home can be maintained.
