It is typically caused by bacteria (that we all have growing in our bathrooms) combined with the hot, humid environment that our bathrooms provide, especially post-shower or bath.Don’t worry, we can help. We have a few quick, cheap and effective tips you can use to help get rid of mold in your bathroom.

To properly care for your bathroom and remove the mold from tile grout, you will need: A Good Scrub Brush SCRUB the mold away, treat the grout between tiles with a paste made of water and baking soda. That’s right – the most effective mold removal  tool we have is elbow grease. Apply the paste, wait a bit, and scrub the mold away! Leave on for as long as you need to—for example, very dirty grout can use an hour or two.Fry'S Led Light Strips Spray the tiles with water and use a scrub brush to clean the grout with a brisk back and forth motion.Poodle Pups For Sale In Ga Rinse well and buff dry.Mini Ash Vacuum Cleaner Once it’s gone, keep it gone. Once you have scrubbed the grout, you can prolong your mold-removing efforts so that you do not have to use as much elbow grease next time!

If your bathroom is not properly maintained between cleanings, it does not take long for mold to come back. In fact, think of mold prevention like oral care—we have to maintain our teeth to keep plaque away. Like a dentist, I am going to suggest some preventative maintenance for you to keep mold out of your bathroom.  It only takes seconds to do and is much easier than what the dentist tells you! Turn the fan on & open a window When you have finished showering, turn on a fan or open a window until the humidity from your shower has dissipated. You need to have top-notch ventilation to remove the humidity and moisture from the air.  The lack of humidity creates a poor breeding ground for bacteria and is the easiest way to maintain your mold-free space. Mix Up Mold-Prohibiting Spray To doubly protect your bathroom, keep a spray bottle nearby and quickly mist the tiles and caulking after your shower with this natural anti-mold solution that takes no effort to make.

The solution contains mold-prohibiting ingredients that when sprayed, protect your bathroom from becoming a breeding ground. You need white vinegar or tea tree oil, water and a spray bottle. Mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a clean spray bottle. Tea tree oil solution Mix 10 drops of tea tree oil into a clean spray bottle filled with water Place the spray bottle on the ‘mist’ setting. It takes about four seconds to spray the tiles and then you walk away. Now you are protected from mold These ingredients are cheap, easy to find and are highly effective. I particularly love the tea tree oil solution, as I find the scent soothing and spa-like!Bathroom caulking is easy to do yourself.And the results packs a big decorative punch.Dingy, cracked, or mildewed caulk can make even a sparkling clean bathroom look dirty and unappealing.If you've resisted replacing bathroom caulk because it seemed like a big job, hesitate no more. You can make this simple repair yourself, with little effort and minimal experience required.

One of the common mistakes many people make when they notice that the caulking around a tub or shower stall has become stained or mildewed is to simply to spread a fresh layer of caulk over the dingy or crumbling area and call it a day. It does brighten the bathroom - for a week or two. Then the underlying mildew eats its way up through the new layer of caulk, treating the recent arrival as a little snack.Before long, you and your bathroom are back to dingy and crumbling square one. However, even the mechanically challenged can usually remove caulk the right way by following a few simple steps: Using a latex-based tub-and-tile caulk (in either a squeeze tube or a caulking gun), fill the shallow groove with a thin, continuous bead of caulk.While the line of caulk is still fresh and before a skin starts to set and harden - within a few minutes, at most - moisten your fingertip and use it to smooth the caulk out and push it thoroughly into any gaps. Then carefully wipe any excess caulk with a damp cloth.

The trick is to use the least amount of caulk necessary to fill the small gap between two different materials and surfaces. It should be nearly invisible when complete, and not protrude any farther than the tile or the edge of the tub or shower.Otherwise, it can act as a trap for moisture and allow mildew to grow. Let the caulk set for as long as the package directions indicate (it's usually overnight).Finally, you can probably avoid ever having to do this job again by regularly drying tub surfaces, shower walls, fixtures, and caulked areas with a clean towel. If stains do appear, try cleaning the caulking with a mildew-killer or other commercially available grout-and-caulk cleaner.Ready to get started?
