Instruction manual
1
Wear rubber gloves, swing open the bathroom door and start cleaning. First clean the black mold stains from all surfaces. Get ready for the fact that there will be many of them. The fungus likes to settle under the sink, bath and toilet, on the pipes (especially if they are often covered with condensate). You should not be content with easy cleaning of visible spots - explore all inaccessible places.
2
Use specialized mold cleaning products such as Tilex, AllerMold, Delu, Neomid and others. Carefully read the manufacturer's instructions. Typically, such a tool is applied to a contaminated surface, leaving the appropriate time (from 5 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the brand of antiseptic and the material being cleaned). Then the destroyed fungus and chemical residues must be washed off with clean water.
3
Another option is to independently prepare a disinfectant solution of bleach, whiteness or any chlorine-containing bleach. Chlorine-treated surfaces for a long time will not be subjected to "raids" of the fungus. Mix the detergent with water in equal parts and treat it with contaminated areas in the bathroom.
4
For removing large stains on furniture, ceilings, doors, etc. use a wide brush with semi-rigid bristles. On delicate surfaces, use a rubber scraper, but cracks should be cleaned with an old toothbrush.
5
If lime stains appear on the sink and bath, treat them with an industrial lime and mineral scale cleaner. You can use improvised means - for example, turpentine or boiling water with acetic acid.
6
To deal with rust spots on plumbing equipment, buy an acidic preparation in the form of a liquid or paste (such as "Toilet duckling", "Sanitary"). Experienced housewives successfully use proven folk remedies. Warm vinegar and an aqueous solution of citric acid cope well with rust. If you managed to remove all stains in the bathroom, thoroughly rinse the surfaces from the remnants of cleaning chemicals.
7
To make cleaning your bathroom much easier in the future, take care of it regularly. The main thing in this business is to get rid of high humidity. The room should be regularly ventilated, especially after water procedures. Plumbing and ventilation must be in good condition.
