In Hong Kong, spring typically begins in February to March each year. However, the fluctuating temperatures and the high-density urban environment often lead to severe humidity issues. Apart from damp walls and ceilings, water droplets can seep into the base of the walls, and black mold may start to appear. If mold problems are not properly addressed, the situation can worsen over time. Beyond aesthetic concerns, mold can spread to unaffected walls. Prolonged exposure to mold spores may trigger various sensitivities and respiratory issues. Inhaling toxic mold can even lead to damage to internal organs and the nervous system.

Therefore, before deciding to paint your home, it’s essential to choose a comprehensive paint system with mold-resistant and moisture-proof properties. From the base material to the wall filler, primer, and topcoat, ensure full protection at every step.

1. Nippon Paint Anti-Fungus Solution: The Ultimate Mold Solution
There’s a common belief that bleach can remove mold, but improper use can lead to inhaling excessive irritants, harming respiratory health, and even damaging the paint surface or causing wall issues like peeling or discoloration. For a simple yet effective solution to completely eradicate mold, try Nippon Paint Anti-Fungus Solution. Designed specifically for painted surfaces, it’s suitable for both indoor and outdoor walls as well as wood surfaces.
