Over time, your home’s walls may develop mold, blister, or peel, especially during the rainy season when the problem tends to worsen. While many people turn to professionals for help, you can easily tackle these issues yourself using the following methods. This approach saves you money and keeps your walls looking clean and fresh.

1. Mold Treatment

Step 1: Start by removing visible mold. Use a dry toothbrush to scrub off the mold spots gently. Then, take a soft cloth soaked in alcohol and wipe the wall to dry it out and prevent further mold growth.

Step 2: Mix bleach and water in a 1:99 ratio. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and spray it on the moldy areas. This helps eliminate mold effectively. During humid weather, you can use a stronger mixture of bleach and water in a 1:20 ratio for better results.

Once the wall has dried, use sandpaper to smooth the surface. Apply a layer of waterproof primer before repainting to prevent future mold caused by moisture.

2. Blistering Walls

Step 1: Remove any blistered or peeling paint. If the problem stems from poor-quality wall filler, scrape it off and replace it with a high-quality filler.
