Let Your House Shine In Monsoon!
As the pours high in monsoon the moisture and humidity also find their rapid progress in the atmosphere. As you enjoy the cozy climate and lie back, there may be some scene on your house to disturb your relaxed time. It is none other than the moss or fungus on the so far shining wooden surfaces or painted walls on your pretty home. Never worry, this monsoon you can battle them off with these easy tips.
Take the effective use of hygienic chlorine solution to battle the fungus effectively. If the fungus is on a small surface, dip a cloth into the chlorine solution and wipe the fungus off. However if the fungus has spread to a wide area, take a paintbrush and apply the chlorine solution on the fungus. The solution will kill the fungus and clean the surface at the same time.
The moss removal on a concrete surface requires special attention since; the moss on the hard surface may not be easily removable as that on a wooden surface. Here, you can mix a heavy detergent and bleaching powder in hot water and splash it on the concrete surface. You may soon witness a moss free surface.
You must have decorated your garden benches or other outside home extensions with rocks. Well never try the above tips to remove the moss on these surfaces. Even though it will free the rock surfaces of moss, they may also make it slippery. Use a high-pressure hose to get rid of moss on the rock surfaces.
You can also try the magic of vinegar to get rid of the moss in your home. Put the vinegar in a spray bottle and spray it on mossed areas. Get a knife and pass it under mossed areas. The moss will come out very easily!
After the moss is dead, it can be carefully flushed off the affected area with a pressure washer. This will prevent the future growth of the moss.
If the moss was inhabited on the roof, install zinc strips at the peak and at down-roof intervals to inhibit future moss growth.
Before the arrival of monsoon, clean your roof of dust, leaves or any other particles on which moisture can accumulate. This will prevent the growth of moss effectively.
Before monsoon dust the prospective moss affected areas with a zinc sulphate monohydrate powder, such as Corry's Moss B Ware(TM) or equivalent. Let the dissolve the powder naturally and it will gradually spread over the roof below the ridges. The moss/lichens will die after 3-4 weeks of wet weather.
If you plan to repaint your home before monsoon, scrape off loose paint and sand glossy spots. Pick a mildew-resistant paint for a fungus free home.
