How to Clean Mold in Your Bathroom

Is mold taking over your bathroom? Don’t worry! Here are some easy and effective tips to help you clean it up and keep it away for good.

Step 1: Use Vinegar to Fight Mold

Start by mixing water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. Spray this mixture on the moldy areas in your bathroom. Let it sit for about an hour. After that, grab a brush and scrub the area to remove the mold. Vinegar is great because it’s natural and safe to use.

Step 2: Use Bleach for Tough Surfaces

For tougher surfaces like tiles and glass, you can use a bleach solution. Mix one part bleach with ten parts water. Be careful! Make sure to wear gloves to protect your hands and open the windows to let fresh air in while you work. This will help kill the mold effectively.

Step 3: Keep Mold Away

To stop mold from coming back, make sure your bathroom is well-ventilated. This means letting fresh air in by opening windows or using a fan. Also, fix any leaks or water damage you see. Regularly clean and dry areas that are likely to get moldy, like the shower and sink.

Extra Tips for a Mold-Free Bathroom

Here are a few more tips to keep your bathroom mold-free:

  • Use a squeegee to wipe down shower walls after each use.
  • Wash bathroom rugs and towels regularly.
  • Consider using a dehumidifier if your bathroom is very humid.
