Hydrogen Peroxide Kill Mold Concrete
On the Utility of Hydrogen Peroxide in Removing Mildew in Concrete
There is a problem of mildew in concrete, and everyone wants to find a good way to remove mildew. When I heard that hydrogen peroxide can be used for it, I explored its rationale.
Hydrogen peroxide, chemically called hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidizing properties. It is quite promising for removing mildew. To cover the growth of mildew, it depends on a suitable temperature and humidity environment and nutrient source. On the surface of concrete, if the temperature and humidity are appropriate, mildew is easy to breed and multiply.
When hydrogen peroxide is applied to the concrete with mildew, its strong oxidizing properties can destroy the cell structure of the mildew, destroy its protein and nucleic acid, and make the mildew inactive and no longer grow. And after the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, the product is water and oxygen, no harmful residues, harmless to the environment, which is its advantage.
However, the use of hydrogen peroxide to remove mildew from concrete also pays attention to. First, the concentration needs to be appropriate. If the concentration is too high, although the mildew removal ability is strong, it may damage the concrete structure, causing its surface pulverization and strength drop. If the concentration is too low, the mildew removal effect is not good, and the mold is difficult to remove. Generally speaking, a concentration of about 3% - 5% is more suitable. Second, the application method is correct. The hydrogen peroxide can be filled in a watering can and sprayed evenly on the concrete surface with mildew to ensure full coverage. After spraying, wait for a while to allow the hydrogen peroxide to fully react with the mold. Then, rinse with clean water to remove the residual hydrogen peroxide and mold residues.
Furthermore, to prevent concrete mildew for a long time, only relying on hydrogen peroxide to remove mildew is not a surefire solution. It is necessary to improve environmental conditions, reduce humidity, increase ventilation, and break the foundation of mold growth. In this way, the combination of hydrogen peroxide mildew removal and environmental control can ensure that concrete is free of mildew and sturdy for a long time.
