How Do You Clean Black Mold On The Ceiling?
Mold growing on the ceiling is not uncommon, particularly in bathrooms or other areas where an abundance of moisture is present. Cleaning black mold from the ceiling will restore the original neat appearance of the ceiling and prevent any adverse health effects from striking your family. Keep in mind that if you have ceiling tiles, you may need to replace any molded tiles with new ones. Ceiling tiles are porous and do not always respond to cleaning. Open as many windows as possible in and near the room you are working in. Turn on the exhaust fan as well. This will ventilate the room and prevent excessive exposure to the fumes from the chemicals and mold spores. Fill a spray bottle with plain water and spray a light mist over the molded area of the ceiling prior to cleaning. If the surface area is dry, the mold spores will spread into the air during cleaning. Mix ½ cup trisodium phosphate into a bucket with 1 gallon of warm water.
