Fungal stains on the bathroom ceiling are a common problem, especially in damp and poorly ventilated environments. If left untreated, mold can spread and pose health risks. In this article, we will share two simple and time-saving methods to remove fungal stains from the bathroom ceiling.
1. With painted bathroom ceilings
Supplies needed:
- Bleach
- Warm water
- Protective gear: Old clothes, goggles
- Tools: Spray bottle
Procedure:
- Mix dish soap with bleach and warm water in a ratio of 1:10:20. Pour the mixture into a small spray bottle.
- Wear protective gear such as masks, goggles, gloves, and old clothing to avoid contact with the bleach solution and mold.
- Wet the ceiling surface and spray the cleaning solution onto the areas affected by mold. Allow the solution to air dry.
- Check the ceiling again for any remaining fungal stains. Repeat step 3 if necessary.
Note: Ensure safety by using protective gear and opening the ventilation when removing mold from the bathroom ceiling. If there is a significant amount of mold or it has spread extensively, consider seeking professional help for safe and effective cleaning and mold removal.
2. With tiled bathroom ceilings
Supplies needed:
- Bleach (or citric acid)
- Warm water
- Protective gear: Old clothes, goggles, gloves
- Additional items: Spray bottle, soft cloth
Procedure:
- Dilute 1 part bleach with 16 parts warm water. Pour the mixture into a small spray bottle.
- Wear protective gear such as masks, goggles, gloves, and old clothing to avoid contact with the bleach solution and mold.
- Spray the diluted solution along the grout lines to allow it to penetrate the mold.
- Use a brush to vigorously scrub the grout lines and remove the mold.
- Once the mold stains have been removed, use water and a soft cloth to wipe the tiled area clean.
Note: After removing mold, keep the bathroom ceiling dry and well-ventilated to prevent re-growth. Consider using specialized products to prevent mold development. If there is a significant amount of mold that cannot be removed with these methods, consult experts for professional products and methods for mold removal.
