Hello,

Short story: I refurbished a 22 m² studio (north wall, ground floor with courtyard view). I removed the old wallpaper, painted with a light mineral paint, and set up a cozy sleeping area behind a slatted shelf. Perfect... until the first rainy weekend: basement smell, small black spots on the back of the mattress and rings on the cold wall.

In the living area, I ventilate morning/evening, added a dehumidifier, and I’m considering installing a ventilated baseboard + insulating the thermal bridge (cork or breathable thin lining). If you have any decor/architecture feedback to keep a light style while improving ventilation, I’m all ears!

And above all, how to remove mold from a mattress without damaging it or leaving spores?


What I’ve done/plan to do (let me know if it’s okay):

  • Thoroughly vacuum (upholstery brush), then a 70° alcohol + water solution (1:1) dabbing, do not soak.

  • Light white vinegar on remaining spots, then sprinkle with baking soda, let it sit, vacuum.

  • Intense drying: outdoors/sun or near a gentle heat source + lift the bed frame (well-ventilated slats).

  • Breathable anti-dust mite cover afterwards.

    Good evening,

    You are on a forum dedicated to computer science and multimedia here; you should rather ask the question below using the same credentials you used here on CCM.
