How to get rid of the fungus in the bath?

 If the bath does not have a constantly functioning heating system, then it is at risk of fungus.

The fungus has no particular preferences, it can be on the wall or on the floor and ceiling – where there will be more dampness. For example, if the corners are not properly insulated in the bath, it will “bloom” there.

Our article will cover the following issues:

1. Signs of the appearance of a fungus house.
2. Methods for destroying the fungus.

Signs of the appearance of a fungus:

• On the logs of the walls, on the floorboards, on the wall cladding, a white fluff or cotton-like accumulation of white threads first forms,
• Then yellow, pink and lilac spots appear, which over time turn into gray films with a silvery sheen.
• The tree darkens, cracks and crumbles.

The fungus grows catastrophically quickly, especially in softwood buildings; pine and oak wood is less damaged by house fungus.

If the house fungus is not destroyed in a timely manner, then in 6-8 months it can “eat through” the wood through and through. Building material heavily contaminated with fungus must be burnt immediately.

Methods for destroying the fungus.

1. Oil impregnation of wood.

To prevent the appearance of fungus, Alexander the Great ordered to impregnate wood with olive oil. It seems to us that this method can be used in our time, slightly modifying and applying modern impregnating materials.

Before the construction of wooden buildings, the ancient Chinese soaked wood in a steep solution of sodium chloride, and the Japanese in sea water.

1. Cleaning the damaged surface with a brush or grinder.

 If, when eliminating the fungus, damage to the entire bar was detected, then it must be completely replaced.

1. Copper sulfate or iron sulfate.

Add 1 kg of copper sulfate or 1.5 kg of ferrous sulfate to 10 p of water. Process the bath room several times until the fungus disappears. For the prevention of secondary formation of fungus, apply the solution at least once every 3 months.

Without diluting directly with natural acid, abundantly moisten a rag and coat it, of course, after cleaning and rinsing the affected area. Let it dry again.

1. A solution containing 0.9 kg of borax, 0.4 kg of boric acid and 1.4 liters of vinegar in 10 liters of water.

The prepared solution is heated to 50-70 ° C and sprayed or applied with a brush on those areas of the wood that are already affected by the fungus.

Hydrogen peroxide in 20-25% is applied to wood and left for several hours, and then wiped with a cloth soaked in water.

8 Whiteness 

After applying this substance, the walls should be additionally treated with water. The applied composition remains on the wood and acts for several hours before drying. Then the treated surfaces are wiped with a damp cloth.

9 Sulfur.

All ventilation ducts, door windows and large gaps are closed. A sulfuric smoke bomb is ignited in a fireproof vessel (ceramic or metal). Approximate norm: per 100 m³ ≈ 200 gr. The method is unsafe. In the process of smoldering, sulfuric gas is formed, which destroys the cells of fungal mold.

Therefore, people should not be indoors. On time, not fast – 6-8 hours. Then a box with quicklime is brought into the room, which in a few hours will absorb sulfur dioxide and dry the air. But all the same, the peculiar smell will remind of itself for more than one day.

10 The proven method is ash.

Just dry and ventilate the bath, sprinkle the places where mold has formed with ordinary ash. The most common ash. Let it stand for a couple of days and that's it!

Make a strong baking soda solution. Recipe: a pack of soda (standard) + 5-7 liters of hot water. Add a tablespoon of any laundry detergent. Then, with a brush moistened with this solution, wipe all dirty areas. It is necessary to carry out this treatment twice. After that, the fungus in the bathroom should disappear.
