Will Glass Glue Easily Mold in Humid Weather?

Recently, the weather in Guangdong has entered a "rain and fog filled" mode, with a strong smell of returning to the south. As we approach returning to the south, humid weather can easily lead to the growth of mold. The production of mold not only affects the daily life of indoor personnel, but also easily forms plaque, affecting the aesthetics of building walls.

When the concentration of mold reaches a certain level, it can be harmful to human health. Studies have shown that inhaling mycotoxins in indoor air can also cause diseases, and the production of mold can shorten the service life of buildings.

The types of fungi that grow indoors are generally Aspergillus albicans, Aspergillus niger, Streptomyces aeruginosa, and Paecilomyces.

Most mold cells float in the air, and when there is mold contamination indoors, mold spores are produced dozens of times more in the air than in rooms without mold.

Due to the humid weather in Guangdong, for the health of family members, on the one hand, it is necessary to prevent mold and moisture, and on the other hand, it is necessary to remove mold and moisture. To handle the mold in your home well, you need to first understand the reasons for the mold.

01

Water accumulation leads to mold spots

You will find that the rubber ring of the washing machine, the sealing strip of the refrigerator, and the drain pipe in your home are generally severely grown, and they all have one thing in common: they all grow in damp environments.

The sealing strip and rubber ring are all uneven, making it the easiest to accumulate dirt and grime. Over time, black mold spots will grow.

02

Glass glue causes mold growth

Silicone belongs to a porous structure, with many gaps on the surface and inside. When it is wet with water, many molds and other microorganisms will grow on the surface and gaps of the glass adhesive. Over time, the glass adhesive is prone to turning yellow and black. It is common for mold to grow at the joints of materials such as rock slabs, kitchen countertops, and marble that are often spliced together.

If your doors, windows, and tiles have already produced a large amount of mold, it is recommended to use baking soda combined with cleaning agents. Add an appropriate amount of cleaning agent to baking soda and stir well before applying it to the mold. Let it stand for a while, then gently wipe it clean with a cloth.

However, this method cannot eradicate the bacteria in the mold. And it is only suitable for areas with milder mold. After cleaning with this method, the mold may grow again after a period of time, and it is not possible to completely eradicate it.
