Alternatively, you can prepare a spray of water and white vinegar to spray on the wall and leave it on overnight. The next day, wipe the wall with a damp sponge, then wipe the wall with a dry cloth.

One of the best ways is to ventilate the house well. Good ventilation will help remove all the moisture generated by your daily activities that contributes to the formation of mold on the walls.

Also, check for microscopic fungi around window frames or the bathroom ceiling.

To reduce heat loss and improve insulation, you can install double-glazed windows with two layers of glass. Also, leave the drainage holes open to allow moist air to escape. Of course, you can close them if you wish.

Alternatively, you can purchase a dehumidifier that will remove excess moisture and then, once this excess is eliminated, it will maintain the ideal humidity level. You can also take advantage of the dehumidifying effect of some indoor plants.
