Women always try to keep the apartment clean. This includes not only garbage collection and pollution removal. Disinfection of surfaces from pathogenic microorganisms is also important. During the cleaning process, special products are usually used. Today, Domestos is considered a popular cleaning agent. Despite the fact that every housewife cleans the bathroom more than once, they still need instructions for using Domestos.
Instructions for use always include data on the use of the product, proportions to the amount of water. Any product should only be applied with gloves.
Domestos - instructions for washing floors and walls
We take as much money as is written in the instructions. The ideal proportion is: 50 ml. gel (5 caps) per 5 liters of water. This solution is used for the following surfaces:
- marble;
- parquet;
- wooden floors without varnish;
- carpets;
- disgusting smell in the dishwasher.
The liquid can be used as a means for washing tiles, including walls.
Domestos fights fungus. But to clean black spots and whiten the seams between tiles, you need to apply a concentrated gel to the blackened areas. Hold the substance for no more than five minutes, and then rinse with a wet sponge.
Precautionary measures
Despite the fact that most of the commercial products described above are absolutely safe for humans and pets, the treatment of premises with them should still be carried out in a protective suit, gloves and a respirator.
It is difficult to predict how the skin or the entire body will react to a particular chemical. In addition, we must not forget about the mold itself, which at the time of its removal can scatter throughout the room. The respirator in this case will prevent most small particles from entering the upper respiratory tract.
At the same time, we must not forget that preventing the appearance of fungus is much easier than fighting it. The main thing is to ensure normal ventilation and humidity in the bathroom. Then no mold will develop in it.
Otherwise, you will have to use modern fungicides and fight it chemically and mechanically, and if that fails, contact specialists.

If you carry out the preparatory work correctly before wallpapering, you can meet the necessary requirements for the wall for wallpaper:
- Uniform color and cleanliness of the walls (if the wallpaper is light in color or not dense enough, any stains on the wall can show through).
- Strength (a wall is considered strong if, when running a key or similar object across it, dust and small crumbs do not fall off).
- Dryness (glue will not be able to absorb into a wet surface, due to which it will lose its adhesive properties).

Gentle methods
When black mold is detected, when the damage to surfaces is minimal, it must be eliminated immediately. There are many ways to remove mold in the bathroom, and they all require minimal effort and expense. Of course, you can try to resort to the help of professionals who can completely treat the bathroom with special products, but it is better to first try to eliminate the contamination on your own. Special anti-mold products that can effectively clean surfaces will help you with this. Nowadays, a lot of anti-black mold products have been developed, which differ in composition and method of removing the consequences.
You can clean mold using:
Bleach You can clean smooth surfaces - tiles, mirrors, bathtubs, sinks - with bleach. The fact is that almost any bleach contains sodium hypochlorite, which is characterized by increased activity against microflora
Using bleach, you can clean the tiles, seams and pores in the bathtub enamel from ingrained mold in a matter of minutes. It should be noted that this method requires special care, since the vapors of the active substances are aggressive and can cause diseases of the lungs, bronchi and eyes. You should quickly apply the active substance to contaminated surfaces, then leave the bathroom for half an hour
Then the surfaces are quickly rinsed and the room is ventilated; Ammonia You can remove mold in the bathroom using the well-known ammonia. This method is also dangerous because ammonia vapors can cause breathing problems and eye damage. Smooth surfaces should be treated with a multiple solution of ammonia in water, spraying it everywhere in an even layer. After an hour or two, surfaces and seams are washed with clean water, and the room is dried; Acetic acid As you know, mold and mildew are afraid of ordinary vinegar. Using vinegar essence, you can easily clean mold-affected areas if the damage to surfaces has just begun. It is important that vinegar is relatively harmless, although you also need to be careful when working with it. The processing algorithm is as follows: vinegar is poured into a spray bottle, the liquid is sprayed onto the tiles, seams, bathtub and sink, after which some time is given for the reaction to take place. After this, the surfaces are washed with water, and the bathroom is left to ventilate. The low cost of the method allows vinegar prophylaxis to be performed every few weeks or more often; Perhydrol Another household liquid that is found in most home medicine cabinets - hydrogen peroxide - can also help deal with black mold. The relative harmlessness and availability of the substance allows you to treat large surfaces in undiluted form. Suitable for processing any materials, it has a whitening effect, as a result of which, before starting spraying, hydrogen peroxide must be applied to a small test area. Perhydrol can be applied to joints and ceramic tiles.
Using Domestos against mold
When the corners of the apartment freeze, then with the onset of cold weather, not very beautiful black spots appear. This is mold. Therefore, you need to get rid of it. Prepare the composition of the substance in the proportion of one cap per liter of water, apply it to the surface damaged by a fungal infection. Domestos can be applied with a brush. After a couple of minutes of processing, you can remove any remaining product from the walls. Then wipe the surface with a wet cloth.
What to do if mold has formed on the walls of an apartment building
Mold deposits on the walls of an apartment building often appear in corner apartments on the first and last floors. This is a consequence of the formation of excess humidity, freezing of walls, faulty ventilation or poor heating.
All these problems must be solved by the management company of the residential building. Notify the housing and communal services service about the problem by calling or writing a statement.
If housing and communal services employees do not respond to your requests, then you should contact the supervisory authorities for help.
- To draw up a report on the appearance of mold, you need to call a representative of the management company. If the housing and communal services employee does not appear, then you can take two neighbors as witnesses and draw up a report yourself. Do not forget to leave your signature and the signature of witnesses on the document.
