Kit Kat Goes Bleaching

Momoko said that the kids bathroom had a mold problem on the ceiling. Normally Momoko does not even notice mold. So I figured it must be bad. I went upstairs and saw a massive mold invasion. We cleared the kids calendar for the weekend and had them bleach.

Normally in these situations, Kit Kat takes over. Little Kat just provides an assist. This was a job for bleach. I am not talking about the watered down Chlorox cleanup spray. We needed a direct application of bleach to cure this problem. It is a health issue.

Kit Kat got up on the stool. She wiped down the ceiling with 100% pure bleach. That did the trick. Half way through the job, Momoko had Kit Kat come out to take a break. You can't breathe bleach fumes for long without it affecting your lungs. Little Kat helped out by opening all the windows upstairs. Luckily we have an exhaust fan in the kids' bathroom.

Now you could not tell that there was ever any bleach on the ceiling. The thing is crispy white. Last thing to do is to check whether Kit Kat got the mold that was on the wallpaper. I recommended wallpaper removal. But the kids and Momoko opted to bleach the wallpaper too.
