Mildew stains and peeling paint are common problems in many households, especially in damp or poorly ventilated areas like bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and laundry rooms. While they may seem tough to tackle, you don’t need expensive chemicals or professional help to solve them. With just a few simple ingredients and this easy trick, your walls can look clean, fresh, and mold-free again!
🔍 What Causes Mildew and Peeling Paint?
Before diving into the solution, it helps to understand the root causes:
- Mildew is a type of mold that thrives in damp, humid, and dark environments.
- Peeling paint usually occurs due to moisture trapped behind paint layers, often because of leaks or poor ventilation.
Both problems are linked to moisture, and treating the cause is just as important as cleaning the surface.
