What do you spray after water damage?
After experiencing water damage, it is crucial to act swiftly to prevent further damage and health hazards. One effective measure is to spray a disinfectant solution to eliminate bacteria and prevent mold growth. Commonly recommended disinfectant solutions include:
- Bleach solution: Mix 1 cup of household bleach per gallon of water.
- Hydrogen peroxide: Use a 3% solution directly on affected areas.
- Denatured alcohol: Apply 70% denatured alcohol to surfaces.
Note: Always test the disinfectant solution on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not damage the surface.
