Bathroom mold – DIY cleaning tips

Everyone’s least favorite room to clean in their house is their bathroom. Even the most avid spring cleaners probably put cleaning the tub on the last of their list. However, the bathroom is one of the places in your house that is easiest to grow mold and collect bacteria. It’s important for anyone’s health to make sure that the bathroom is kept mold free. Here are some easy, simple tips for dealing with bathroom mold build up:

• Baking Soda and a good scrubbing brush get most molds out of grout and tiles. Leaving a paste of water and baking soda on bathroom tiles is a cheap way to get rid of bathroom mold. Leave the paste on for an hour and then spray with water. After that, a quick and strong scrub of the tile will rid it of any mold.
  

  Mold commonly appears between bathroom tiles.

• Vinegar has been proven to be able to kill 82% of most types of molds. Spraying undiluted white vinegar around your tub or sink helps kill and prevent bathroom mold. After an hour, make sure to spray water and wipe up the vinegar.
• A mixture of bleach and water can get rid of shower mold in only ten minutes. Spray a mixture of water and a small amount of bleach around your shower walls and then in ten minutes wipe and wash the walls down. It’s important to have a fan or open window as the fumes from bleach can be irritating.
• An easy way to prevent bathroom mold growth is to make sure you open a window or turn a fan on whenever you take a shower. This reduces moisture and makes it harder for the mold to fester around your bathroom.
