The fungus can appear in any bathroom, regardless of the price of the finishing material or the frequency of cleaning. This problem should be solved only by complex measures, which on the one hand are aimed at creating conditions unfavorable for the fungus, and on the other, at the use of special surface treatment agents.
Mold in the bathroom is one of the most common problems in almost every home. It is mold on the walls that is the first signal to the beginning of active actions to improve the room.
The first thing you should pay attention to is the condition of the sanitary equipment. Check the pipes and taps, if you find a leak, then take action immediately, because the formation of condensate has a beneficial effect on the spread of the fungus.
It is recommended to replace all pipes with plastic ones, no evaporation appears on them.
After that, carefully examine all surfaces in the bathroom, especially in hard-to-reach places. Thoroughly clean affected areas. If the flexible lesion penetrated to a sufficiently large depth, it is best to clean the surface completely from paint or plaster.
Next, you need to dry the room, here you can not do without special equipment. Heat guns or heaters are used. Only after these works can you start processing, otherwise the fungus may reappear.
Walls, ceilings, places where bathtubs and sinks join the wall are treated several times with special antiseptic agents, and they pay special attention to corners, joints, and places that will later become darkened.
All finishing and building materials used in the bathroom must have a high degree of moisture resistance. The higher it is, the more likely it is to completely forget about the fungus.
It is possible to treat the affected surfaces with a special tool - creosote, it must be dissolved in water, ether or alcohol. The only difficulty with this treatment is the mandatory use of a mask and gloves.
The treatment with a solution of acetic or boric acid, hydrogen peroxide or soda is quite effective. Any of these products must be dissolved in water in a ratio of 1:10, then brought to a temperature of 50-70 ° C, applied to the surface with a sponge and left to dry completely. Then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
The use of chlorine-based products guarantees the disposal of the fungus for a long time. The only negative point is the pungent smell, which can stay in the room for a very long time. Usually this type of treatment is used in various institutions, bleach is a good antiseptic, not a single living organism, including a fungus, can get along with it.
If you manage to defeat mold and fungal formations, you should not relax. The bathroom is the best place for the emergence of new foci, it is always warm and humid, it is this microclimate that promotes reproduction. Therefore, preventive measures can be safely called another effective way to combat.
Even if you have never had a fungus in the bathroom, periodic surface inspections must be carried out. And if you defeated him, then you should not relax, he certainly will not return only if you regularly treat surfaces with antiseptic solutions.
