How to get rid of mould in your shower
Mold can have a negative effect on your health. There are many specialist mold treatment products such as HG mould spray. HG mould spray will immediately kill fungus, moss, algae and molds but should be used carefully following the manufacturers guidelines. Simply spray the affected area and leave for the designated time, cleaning afterwards. If there is persistent mould then you may need to re-apply.
Alternatively, you can use bleach and water mixture to kill the mould. Firstly, create a mixture of 1 part bleach to 1 part water. Apply the mixture to the effected surface, leave for 15 minutes before showering off the area. Repeat as necessary. When cleaning shower mould follow these guidelines:
· Use a damp cloth to wipe away all surface mould that can easily be removed.
· Use non-porous gloves to protect your hands.
· Wear a mask or N-95 respirator so that you do not breathe in the dangerous bleach fumes.
· Wear goggles to protect your eyes from the bleach spray and fumes.
· Open the windows and doors to your bathroom to create good ventilation and airflow.
· Never mix bleach with ammonia or any other household cleaners as this could result in poisonous, toxic fumes being inhaled.
· Carefully follow any manufacturer guidelines.
