How to repair mouldy or flaked walls in a few minutes

Problem: Does your wall lose its painting like a tree loses its leaves?

In addition to being unaesthetic, this can help build up dust in your home. Fortunately, the repair is simple and quick.

Here's how to fix a flake wall:

1. Scratch the flaked areas with a spatula or scraper.
2. Lightly moisten the wall with a damp cloth to limit dust when scratching.
3. Sand the edges to smooth the surface, then apply a primer before repainting.

Little secret: If no dust falls scratching, it means that the original mastic is still intact. In this case, you can just smooth the surface and repaint directly.

Prevention: the secret for impeccable walls

• Never paint in wet weather.
• Repair the cracks quickly to prevent water infiltration.
• Use a waterproofing primer on the walls most exposed to moisture.

By taking these simple precautions, you will extend the life of your walls and avoid costly repairs in the future. So, ready to kick your house without breaking the bank? Try these techniques today and see your walls rebirth in no time.
