How to wash the mold in the bathroom?

Mold often appears in the bathroom. Mold fungi are very harmful to human health and even destroy such surfaces in the room, which are characterized by high strength. Mold can spread as soon as possible. Remove it is quite difficult, but quite possible.

Mold spreads through the air. There are a variety of types of fungi, each type has certain features. They differ from each other in color, appear on certain surfaces, depending on the type. The following types of mold can be distinguished:

• Black Such fungi appear in bathrooms especially often. They easily develop on a variety of surfaces.
• Gray-brown. Appears on wooden surfaces, can destroy the structure, because of it may cause cracks.
• Bluish. Appears on wood. The affected surface turns blue and after some time collapses.
• Green Usually it can be seen on food, but such fungi are found in the bathroom, on the brick.

Spores that are allergens and toxins from certain types of mold are dangerous for humans. Spores and toxins can be absorbed through the skin, into the body through food or the respiratory tract. Harmful substances are found in the lungs and accumulate there. Because of mold fungi, a variety of diseases arise:

• problems with the gastrointestinal tract;
• headaches;
• skin problems;
• bleeding from the nose;
• diseases of the respiratory system;
• sinusitis;
• microbial imbalance;
• allergic rhinitis.

For mold to develop, certain conditions are needed. Usually they are created by the people themselves. A person may not carry out sanitary treatment in the room, to make mistakes during construction work. Mold appears in rooms where it is hot and humid.

Necessary for the occurrence of mold conditions:

• certain microclimate;
• organic environment (food, soil, materials from wood, stone, paper);
• disputes (they get into the apartment through the air, on household items, food, pets, people).

Very often, mold fungi get into the bathroom due to poor ventilation. If the room is not often ventilated, the temperature is high enough. Mold also occurs due to:

• poor quality building materials (if the surfaces are chipped, cracked);
• problems with the drainage system;
• insulation problems;
• leaks;
• problems with waterproofing;
• the presence of temperature bridges.

If there is a lot of mold, it is in hard-to-reach areas, the blackness is old, and you will not be able to do without radical methods of removing the fungus. Of course, you have to spend a lot of time and effort, but it is better not to let the mold spread and do everything at once.

You need to do the following:

• Completely clean the bathroom. Remove paint, plaster, tile. Treat the surface using sandpaper. Then you need to use antifungal agents.
• Dry the surfaces using a heat gun (a special device that makes the air drier) or a building dryer. This procedure takes several hours - it all depends on the degree of humidity.
• Use of an antiseptic primer. This tool will help to finally defeat the mold fungus and prevent its occurrence in the future. When it is applied, let the surface dry and begin finishing.

To remove mold on the seams, wash it out of toys, clean other surfaces using folk and professional tools. When thinking about which option will be optimal in a particular situation, consider the type of surface, the depth of penetration and the degree of damage.
