Mildew in your bathroom


Your bathroom is very prone to growing mold and mildew because the air often is damp. The most prominant places where mildew will develop is on the grout between your tiles and also in and around your shower walls, faucets and soap holders. Here is how you can fight back against mold and mildew:

Use an old toothbrush to scrub the mildew from the grout between your tiles or any little area where mold is growing. For more stubborn stains cover them with a paste of scouring powder that contains bleach, leave for a few hours, scrub and rinse clean with warm water. There are also many commercial products on the market that will kill mildew that contain bleach as well.

After you use the shower leave the door or curtain open. Wipe down the walls to dry them with a towel or paper towel. Once they are dry close the shower door or curtain to allow that to dry as well.

To clean a fiberglass shower walls dip a damp sponge into some Baking Soda (Bicarbonate of Soda) and wipe over the surfaces. Rinse and dry, be careful as some areas can scratch.

If you find mildew on your shower curtain. Simply soak it in the bathtub in a solution of 1 part domestic bleach to 4 parts water, you cna leave this soak over night for best results. Rinse well with water, then if the material allows it, machine wash for the best deep clean.

You can also kill mildew, by wiping down with vinegar-soaked cloth on a flat surface and allowing the curtain to air dry.
