How To Get Rid Of Mould In Your Bathroom
A common problem in most households is mould, it’s usually found in your bathroom and can be difficult to get rid of but not impossible. It’s a fungus found mostly in damp and moist places and as tiny spores, it travels through the air. You will need to remove it if your looking for a fresh and clean bathroom as it can give bad first impressions if left.
To do so, you must erase all the mould you can find on your ceiling and upper wall. This can be done with a cloth and mixture of bleach and water, try and dilute the bleach to a point where its effective but not strong in smell. Scrub vigorously and make sure that you regularly rinse the cloth under the tap after using it, as it can stay on the cloth and spread to other areas you clean. It’s advised that you keep the area aired out and wear goggles and gloves when doing this procedure. Once you have removed all visible mould, using clean water wash off any spare bleach you can find and then let the surface dry.
Now you need to stop the existing mould from sticking to the wall, by using Bin paint this can be done. With a roller, roll a coat of Bin paint on the area and allow to dry for 45-60 minutes. As it’s a stain killer also, this will stop the old mould from seeping to the surface later. You have now removed mould from your bathroom.
To prevent mould coming back, you can use a coat of Mildew-Proof paint the same way you used the Bin paint. This doesn’t kill the mildew so make sure you get rid of the mould effectively at first. But the best idea is to buy an extractor fan because it ventilates your bathroom but also limits the amount of heat loss when showering.
