Once mould shows up on your ceiling, then it is not long before a little patch evolves into a thriving colony. Mold may not appear very threatening, but the danger is very real; it can cause allergic reactions, irritation and infections of the eyes and eyes. Mold usually pops up in locations where you have a water flow or bad ventilation, such as in a toilet. If you’ve already tackled the origin of the mold, then it’s time to work on getting rid of the fungus.
Wear a long-sleeved shirt, pants and shoes, followed by extended rubber gloves and eye masks which lack ventilation holes. Cover your mouth with a particulate mask or respirator. Any equipment you wear must protect you from inhaling particles sized 1 micrometer or less.
Set up a ladder under the stained part of the ceiling, on a flat, level surface. Don’t put the ladder at the top of other objects to elevate the height, that can make it unstable and cause it to tip over.
Fill a bucket with warm water and several drops of ammonia-free liquid dishwashing soap. Dampen a cloth with all the water; scrub the ceiling to remove mould. If it’s a concrete ceiling, then use a stiff brush instead.
Combine 4 to 6 tablespoons of trisodium phosphate and one gallon of water in a bucket. Scrub the moldy ceiling with a clean cloth or brush dipped in the answer.
Mix with 3/4 cup of chlorine bleach and one gallon of water. Dip a cloth in the bleach solution, then squeeze out any excess fluid so the cloth feels moist instead of soaking wet. Stretch out your arm from the face so the bleach does not get into your eyes or rubbed into the gloves. Expand the ceiling with the cloth.
Permit the bleach solution to place for one to two hours, then rinse it away with a clean cloth dipped in cool water. Let the ceiling dry.
Mist the ceiling with a antimicrobial spray to prevent mould from regrowing. You may have to reapply the item occasionally; see the product’s directions for information.
