can the UV lamps of a solarium be used to disinfect a surface?

Posted by admin
asked:


I have heard that UV light disinfects and combats bacteria and fungus growth. The wall of our new apartment has mold on it We are under time pressure and unable to wait til we can get a ozone generator, which supposedly also does the above. Therefore I thought I could use my small solar lamp-stand and shine some UV light on the “infected wall”
In case you wonder: I already used vinegar, ammonia and chlorine bleach on the spot - but the mold did not go away completely.

      I would not use a UV lamp over bleach. If you have to buy a light brush to help break up the mold. I would also use a mask to prevent yourself from getting a fungi infection of some kind.
