If the heating is turned off and the room cools down, the risk of mold is even greater.

Three proven remedies can help get rid of unwanted moisture.
It is important to know that mold in your apartment is a direct path to respiratory illnesses and infections.
Condensation occurs when humid air gets into your home and then moves to walls, windows, ceiling...
Therefore, it is important to heat the apartment. The appearance of black mold can also be a result of poor ventilation and circulation.
For this reason, mold is most commonly found in the bathroom.
When using a hot tub or shower, condensation of hot water occurs, and even a range hood will not save the situation in such cases.
It is important to keep the bathroom door closed so that moisture does not get into other areas of your home.
If heating is turned on intensively and then suddenly turned off, the probability of accumulating humid air increases.
Dramatic temperature changes can worsen condensation, thereby causing mold.
Many people almost never open windows when the heating is on, and that is a big mistake.
Despite the desire to keep warmth in the rooms during winter, it is also important to release humid air to create free airflow.
Ten to fifteen minutes is enough.
How to Get Rid of Mold in Your Apartment:
Antiseptic Base Coat
If mold does settle in your apartment, a proven way to get rid of it is an antiseptic base coat from a construction store. Before applying the base coat to the infected surface, try to scrub off as much mold as possible.
In case of deep mycelium growth from the walls, remove not only wallpaper and paint, but also layers of plaster to concrete and bricks. The solution is sold both ready-made and for dilution with water.
Bleach
Bleach is great in fighting mold on smooth surfaces.
Wood, drywall, and other porous surfaces should not be treated with it. And if you have walls covered with white paint on which mold has formed, treat it with bleach.
However, apply the product wearing gloves. Dilute bleach with water in a ratio of 1/10.
Vinegar + Hydrogen Peroxide + Boric Acid
If you trust folk methods for getting rid of mold, try this one.
Take 100 grams of water, 50 grams of vinegar, 50 grams of hydrogen peroxide, and 25 grams of boric acid. Mix all these ingredients together, heat the mixture, and cover the moldy areas before applying it to the moldy areas.
Let it sit for at least a few hours and then rinse the areas with water.
