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.
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.
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.
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.
