Tips To Eliminate Mold and Prevent It From Returning

Household chores are likely not on your list of favorite activities, and scrubbing the bathroom is typically the least preferred chore of all. From scouring the toilets to sanitizing the sinks, cleansing your bathroom requires several cleaning agents and a plethora of elbow grease. Further, if you battle a humidity problem in your shower, you might find yourself struggling to remove stubborn mold and mildew. Read on to learn some helpful tricks to eliminate mold and prevent it from returning.

The Process

While several methods of mold removal exist, they all employ the same, basic techniques:

  • Apply cleaner
  • Scrub with a brush
  • Rinse

Do you prefer utilizing commercial cleaning solutions, or are natural, organic products your choice in agents? Luckily, either option can remove and prevent mold.

The Natural Method

If you favor natural cleaning processes, remove bathroom mildew using three common household ingredients.

First, apply baking soda to the grout, and pour distilled white vinegar over the soda to create a foamy paste. Utilizing your nylon brush, scrub away the mildew and mold, and follow up with a warm water rinse.

Alternatively, you may mix equal parts of vinegar and lemon juice and add baking soda until the mixture begins to bubble and foam. Dip your brush into this solution, and scrub the grout. After letting it soak for five minutes, use your brush to scour again. Rinse thoroughly with water.

The Commercial Method

Commercial cleaning agents are available in most grocery stores in Lost Mountain, GA, and are all effective at removing bathroom mildew. Keep in mind that the majority of solutions require ventilation to protect users from inhaling toxic fumes.
In terms of processes, commercial cleaners work in much the same manner as natural agents do. Most will instruct you to spray the affected grout, wait a certain amount of time, scrub with a brush, and rinse. In extreme cases, mold damage remediation specialists can assist.
Bathroom mildew might seem difficult to remove, but with the correct cleaning agents and a bit of diligent scrubbing, your grout will look as good as new in no time.
