The spots usually occur on the walls or ceilings by humidity or some other temporary source can be removed easily. If moisture persists and causes a defect in construction, water pipes broken or leaking, should be treated and disposed of prior to these treatments, otherwise make no sense. Mainly we find, mildew stains and yellow stains of moisture. Following the application of paint re-emerge if we use a plastic paint or latex water.

Remove mildew spots
Then, to remove mildew we do with bleach or diluted bleach water at a rate of 1 per 10 parts water. We went over with a damp cloth until clear and rinse with water. Once dry you can proceed to paint the wall. Remember to be careful with the mold, but if the removed dry, try not to suck since fungi are often detrimental to health.

Remove stains humidity
The yellow spots are usually penetrated the wall and the more rebellious mildew stains, and can not be removed with a damp cloth. One trick is to paint with painter’s Wood Fund, diluted in about 30% with turpentine, with a brush a review for stains and scratches are not. Once dry, after a few hours, you can paint with acrylic paint to water. The spots can not pass through oil paint, and to be white, matte finish is ideal for applying any type on it. You can use acrylic paint anti-fungal to prevent their recurrence.

Sometimes the wallpaper on the walls is an excellent alternative to paint for interior decorating. But during the renovation of the rooms, the paint or paper change of motive is necessary remove all the paper so that it does not affect the new paint or layers.

For non-washable papers without Layer Vinyl
Dampen the paper with water using a sponge, rag or brush. Remember that during the work may be exceeded in water so it would be advisable to cut the supply of electricity where you are working for security reasons.
When meeting the wet paper will begin to blister and rise from the wall. At this time take the top corners and pull low. If the paper tears can help with a spatula, removing the remains gently, trying not to damage the wall. You can override the sizing liquid water or a mixture of water and vinegar.

For washable or vinyl Papers
You can remove the first “layer to the view” by hand with a spatula and without water as this will be useless. Subsequent layers of paper are common, so after removal of the first can continue with water as indicated above. Another way is to use a roller drill, a plastic tool that is responsible for making small holes in the paper so that it penetrates the liquid and thus dampen the lower paper layers, softening the glue.
We recommend you go doing the strip of paper work, dipping in and pulling a few minutes after the paper is wet and tends to rise. Finally subtract the walls waiting to dry completely, paint repair imperfections or marks up with putty or dough scraper, sand, and proceed with new paint or wallpaper.
