Hence, if you want to remove mold, mix one cup of bleach in approximately a gallon of water and apply it to the surface(s) to kill mold. Do not rinse immediately; let it sit for a few minutes. You can also add half a cup of dish soap or detergent to help the bleach penetrate porous surfaces such as grout or granite. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">If your home is flooded with mold or mold has made its way to fabrics, shoes, clothes, or carpets, it is best to call a cleaning professional. A cleaning company will take care of the infestation and completely eradicate the mold from your home.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_clean_a_nursery\"><\/span><strong>How do you clean a nursery?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Keeping a baby or toddler safe from the harmful effects of toxic cleaners should be every parent&#8217;s primary concern when cleaning or disinfecting a nursery. But, cleaning a baby&#8217;s room requires due diligence, given that most chemicals could affect children because of their underdeveloped immune systems. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Thus, the best way to clean a nursery is by using vinegar. Vinegar has proved to kill more germs than bleach! Hence, mix one-part vinegar with five parts of water to disinfect all furniture, floors, and surfaces in the nursery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cleaningbusinessboss.com\/how-to-start-a-cleaning-business-startup-documents\/\"><em>To learn more on how to start your own cleaning business, check out my startup documents here.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Please note that the contents of this blog are for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be construed as legal advice.
