subject: How To Get Rid Of Mould On The Ceiling [print this page] If your most horrible nightmare has a name and it is: mould, then in this article you may find the peace that you've been looking for. We all know how ugly black mould looks like, but this is not the main reason why we want it out of our homes. Mould spores are a treat for people who have allergies, lung diseases, or breathing difficulties such as asthma, for instance. So, it is really important to remove this harmful parasite from your domestic environment, for your own and your family's sake.
Stop contemplating the huge black mouldy spot on your ceiling but do something to get rid of it. If you have no idea where to start from, London cleaning experts will give you their professional advice how to proceed in this difficult situation.
1. The first thing you should do is to examine the black mould and identify it by smell and sight. Usually, black stains on the ceiling area are a sign for water damages. If you have such a problem bad odours should appear. In this case, you have to open the doors and windows to ventilate the room.
2. You have to pour about 2-3 litres of hot water into a bucket. Then place a ladder under the black mouldy stain on your ceiling. Cleaning London professionals recommend putting on rubber gloves, a face mask and some eye protection. Then pour cup of chlorine bleach into the bucket and 1/3 cup of some powdered laundry detergent. Mix the ingredients well to thoroughly dissolve the powdered detergent. When the cleaning mixture is ready fill a plastic spray bottle with it.
3. Take a clean sponge and the spray bottle then climb the ladder. You have to be close enough to treat the affected area. Spray all the visible black mould with the solution. Do not spray too much of the cleaning agent, otherwise the excess liquid could drip over you. Then scrub the mouldy surface with the rough side of your sponge. Repeat the process, rinsing the sponge in clean water occasionally, until the mould is gone.
4. To complete the process, rinse the surface of your ceiling well with a clean soft cloth and water. Let the ceiling air dry. At the end, London cleaners recommend painting the entire ceiling with some anti-mould paint. This way, you will prevent mould to appear again.
