Mold in porch

continualdiamond

Have a porch that has 2 exposed walls, 1 is okay because it has the front door and a double glazed window, the window doesn't have an opening. I get occasional mold on the front door, thats it and it obviously wipes off.

However on the other exposed wall, i get mold in the corner from the bottom of the corner to the middle and then along the bottom.

I recently put in a air freshner on the floor to take away the stale smell, should i put in a little dehumidifier, just the little portable ones to help?

The porch is obviously always cold as it is always closed up and has no heating in it.

as a temp measure that might be ok. id rather spend the money on some heat and some ventilation in there.

Get a small (65 x 215 mm) air brick fitted to the wall - about 150mm up from the floor in the wall which has the problem

If this is a solid wall then give the external face a few coats with something like Thompsons Water Seal, too.

Don't heat a porch, you will be wasting your money

Wash any existing mould off with a proper fungicide, dont just brush it or wash it with water (and not bleach either). Otherwise it will re-spore
