What ppe should i consider when cleaning mould from bathroom ceiling?

[wendylee]

Hi, I've noticed a lot of mould building up on my bathroom ceiling. This is a rental property.

There is plenty of ventilation so not sure why this is happening. 

Should I attempt cleaning this myself and if so how much PPE do i need as I've had respiratory issues before so I'm a little hesitant. 

Thank you

Hello @wendylee 

Thanks for sharing your question regarding cleaning the mould off your bathroom ceiling.

In order to prevent triggering your respiratory issues, I suggest investing in a Citeco Half Face Respirator A1P2 Kit. This mask protects you both from chemical vapours and particulates in the air. It's soft rubber edge ensures that you get a positive seal on your face. I also suggest wearing gloves and goggles when you begin cleaning.

But if you are still feeling hesitant, there is nothing wrong with engaging the services of a cleaning agent. I suggest getting a few quotes first before you make any decisions regarding your ceiling.
