Mold may occur on any types of windows - both wooden and metal-plastic. This spoils appearance and negatively affects the health of tenants, so it is necessary to fight it necessarily. So that the process is effective, follow some simple tips.
Why the mold appears on the windows
This problem is practically not bothering the hosts in the summer months and most often appears with the arrival of deep autumn, when the windows are closed tightly and normal ventilation is disturbed. The first and the main reason for the appearance of mold is excessive humidity. Despite the fact that with the onset of the heating season, the air seems to be landing, the fungus will live in places with poor or damaged waterproofing of windows, slopes, windowsill (as well as in other places - such as a toilet or bathroom).
Preparatory work
As in many other cases, there are two ways: folk, or with the help of healthy agents, and "scientific" - by means of specially intended chemicals. To get rid of mold at once and for a long time, you will have to combine both methods and work in several stages. An ordinary chlorine or detergent will remove the fungus for a while, but soon it will appear again, and you have to start everything from the beginning. The first stage of the fight against mold is the study of the problem and disinfection of affected seats. For example, if the windows decorated on plastic slopes, traces of mold appeared, they will have to remove them. After all, under them is the "focus" of infection. The plasterboard decor is better changed to completely and replace the more eco-friendly material, because of the old completely removing disputes of molds is almost impossible. After processing problem areas with water chlorine with water 5: 1.
Use antifungal agents
In household chemicals stores, we find antifungal agents of Tex, Dufa or Vincents Polyline. They consume powerful fungicides, chlorine, copper sulphate. Overly to remind that all stages of the procedure should be carried out in a protective mask and gloves. It is very convenient to use the means in packing with a spray gun or buy the last one separately and attach to the bottle. Those who wish to experiment or save can try to prepare antifungal agent on their own, at home. Here are some simple recipes:
- in 1 liter of water, we pour 200 ml of 70% vinegar, 200 ml of boric acid;
- on a 1 liter of water - 100 ml of sodium fluoride (be careful, very poisonous when entering the respiratory tract or gastrointestinal tract), 100 ml of copper sulfate;
- on a liter of water - 100 ml of copper sulfate, 100 ml of ordinary home chlorine.
Fix the result
So that the mold never appears anymore, and the windows served for a long time and without problems, it will be necessary to apply a waterproofing material on and around problem seats, for example, mastic. Waterproofing can also be used for prophylaxis so that the fungus does not have the slightest chance. In addition, regularly check the premises, check the integrity of all elements of windows. Condensate on glass is a favorable medium for the development of fungus.
Remember that when combating fungus chemicals, it is necessary to airbust a room, use synthetic brushes or sprayers for applying, special protective equipment for hands, eyes and respiratory tract. All "chemistry" is very toxic, while inhalation will harm the health and surrounding health.

Here, first of all, it all depends on the correct installation of windows.
And the tightness of the glass accessories themselves. Here with thoroughness it is necessary to choose the manufacturer.
Yes, there is no more thing in tightness or quality of windows, but in the absence of air inflows in the apartment - from here and mold with fungi. We also encountered and did not first "poravili" and Furacilin and specials, all the sorrow was. They put the supply ventilation (we chose ifresh - the most quiet) - it passed somewhere 7 months, until no mold was observed. It turns out at the expense of the impressive there is a constant flow of air and the apartment is easier to breathe, and sleep stronger.
