When most people decorate, the ground will choose to use ceramic tiles for paving, and in some southern families, in order to prevent problems such as water seepage and mildew on the wall, the wall is also paved with ceramic tiles.
The bathroom wall and kitchen wall of our house are all made of ceramic tiles as a cushion, and the wall tiles can not only be waterproof, but also prevent oil stains.
The gaps between the tiles are generally filled with caulk, but after a few years or a few months, the gaps in the tiles will be black and moldy, and it is difficult to clean them.
If there is such a problem with the tiles used in your home, it is recommended that you learn the following tricks.
There is no need to brush hard, and the crevices are clean with a wipe.
1. The quality of caulk is poor
After the tile is installed, we need to choose caulk, and the caulk chosen by young people nowadays is generally selected according to the color of their own tiles, which has a certain waterproof effect.
However, in the past, most of the caulks we used in decoration were made of white mud or cement, and the quality of the caulk was poor, and it would age after a period of use, and the problem of dust accumulation.
2. The caulk has been around for a long time
After we buy a house, we want to live in this house for more than 20 years or more, and many things in the house will become more and more old over time, including the caulk of the tiles.
If the caulk in your house is old for a long time, the cement at the bottom will be exposed, and due to the neglect of cleaning in our daily life, there will be more dirt mixed with dirt and dirt in the gaps of the caulk.
3. The environment is humid
For friends living in the south, mold in the tile gaps should be very common, and the tiles on the bathroom wall and floor will have the problem of mold, and the black mold affects our daily life and mood.
If you have time to compare, you will find that the problem of mold growth in the bathroom with a more humid environment is far more serious than the mold growth in the living room, kitchen and other places.
4. Oil infiltration
Every time we cook at home, a large amount of oil smoke will be generated, the oil smoke will drift upwards at first, and then it will quickly fall to the countertop floor, and the oil will penetrate into the caulk on the ground.
The reason why the cracks in the kitchen floor are moldy and black may be caused by oil infiltration.
5. There is a problem with the cleaning method
Every time we clean the floor, we use a mop to scrub it simply, and we don't clean the stains inside the tile crevices at all, and we only remember to clean the tile crevices when we clean it.
Many people choose to use steel wool balls for cleaning, and sharp steel wool balls will only destroy the caulk more completely, making the mold problem worse.
If you have a magnifying glass at home, you can put the magnifying glass on top of the mold, and you can see that the surface of the mold is similar to the shape of Rumeng, but it is actually a flocculent mold, and this mold spreads very quickly.
As long as you open the door to ventilate, it will spread along the small crevices, and if the fruits and other ingredients in our home are accidentally contaminated with mold, it will quickly rot, and mold is a harmful substance.
He relies on spores to reproduce, and if it is absorbed by us for a long time, it will cause a lot of harm to our health.
If black mold is found in the cracks of tiles, walls, etc., be sure to clean it in time.
