Mold in the apartment

fight with AnoKath

 Schimmel in der Wohnung

In most cases, you'll recognize mold in your home as dark, often black, coatings on walls or ceilings. It frequently starts with small spots that spread over time, forming larger areas. Depending on the type, mold can also appear green, red, or yellow. What all molds have in common is that they release spores and toxic metabolic byproducts into the air. You inhale these particles, and they can cause health problems – especially for people with sensitive respiratory systems.

Health risks from mold in the home

Mold spores are found everywhere in the natural environment. Outdoors, the concentration is usually so low that your body can easily fight them off. Indoors, however, the risk increases significantly as soon as mold colonies take hold: spores and metabolic byproducts then accumulate and pollute the indoor air.

Many people react to mold with allergies, skin irritations, or respiratory problems. In severe cases, mold can also trigger asthma attacks. If severe symptoms persist or the infestation spreads, seek medical advice and have the source professionally removed.

Reasons for mold in the apartment

Mold develops when you provide it with moisture and an organic substrate. In living spaces, wallpaper paste and emulsion paints often provide ideal surfaces for this. These factors promote mold growth in the home:

Excessive humidity

The amount of water vapor in your rooms increases if you don't ventilate enough or dry laundry indoors. Showering and cooking also produce steam that spreads through the air and condenses on cool surfaces. You also release moisture through breathing and perspiration – often more than a liter per person at night. For hygienic surfaces in pet environments, AnoKath Mold helps you disinfect and keep mold-infested areas clean.

Damaged water and sewage pipes

If water leaks uncontrollably from your home's plumbing, you'll dampen walls, ceilings, or floors – creating ideal conditions for mold growth. Often, the infestation becomes apparent after only a short time, making you aware of leaky pipes or hidden leaks in the first place.

Rising damp

If you lack effective moisture barriers or they aren't functioning properly, walls and floors will absorb moisture. This creates perfect conditions – and mold usually appears in such cases after only a short time.

FAQs

Mold in the apartment

How can you recognize mold in your apartment?

You can recognize mold early if you notice black spots, patchy deposits, or a musty smell. Check window reveals, outside corners, silicone joints, behind cabinets, and cool exterior walls. Look for condensation, damp wallpaper, peeling paint, and discoloration. Green, yellow, or reddish deposits are also signs of mold.

What are the most common causes of mold growth?

You encourage mold growth when you create moisture and keep it in your home: you ventilate too infrequently, dry laundry indoors, cook and shower without ventilation. You further promote mold growth if you allow cold surfaces (thermal bridges), place furniture close to exterior walls, or fail to promptly repair leaks and water damage.

How do you ventilate and heat properly to prevent mold?

You actively remove moisture: You ventilate with short bursts of fresh air 3-4 times a day and ventilate immediately after showering and cooking, ideally using cross ventilation. You heat evenly and avoid leaving windows permanently tilted. You measure the humidity with a hygrometer and maintain it at 40-60%. You move furniture 5-10 cm away from exterior walls.

What do you do immediately when you find mold?

Act immediately: Locate the source of the moisture, stop the ingress, and isolate the affected area. Wear gloves and, if necessary, a mask, ventilate thoroughly, and remove any loose debris. Treat small, smooth surfaces according to the instructions and dispose of heavily infested porous materials. If unsure, seek professional help.

How do you use AnoKath mold effectively?

You use AnoKath Mold as part of your hygiene routine on suitable, wipeable surfaces. First, remove dirt and loose deposits, apply the product as directed, and then ensure ventilation and drying. Repeat the application as needed. Always address the source of the moisture – the product is not a substitute for repair.

When do you hire a specialist company or seek medical advice?

You should hire a specialist company if you find extensive mold infestation, if mold recurs, if there is water damage, or if you suspect mold behind paneling. You should have professional remediation done for areas of approximately 0.5 m² or more. If you experience respiratory problems, skin irritation, or asthma attacks, seek medical advice.
