How to Clean Mold on the Bathroom Tile

Keeping a clean bathroom that is free from mold and mildew can be a difficult task for anyone to accomplish. It is typically time consuming and the mold can quickly return if it is not treated properly. It is also not a good idea to leave mold in place because it can cause quite a few health problems to deal with when you or your family breathe it in.

Because grout is porous, it is easy for soap scum, body oils, and grime to become lodged inside of it. When this occurs, there is now a perfect environment available for the growth of mold to take place. Bathrooms offer the dampness, low light and hair flow and high humidity that is required for mold to grow quickly.

Keep it Clean

When you notice mold in your bathroom, tackling it quickly and with the right product is the best method for making sure your home is clean and safe from the dangers that mold presents. One of the best products that you can use is Clorox Bleach Gel Spray. With this product, you can simply spray the infected area, open up some doors and windows and allow it to sit for thirty minutes or so.

It is best to clean your space on a regular basis. This will help make sure that mold does not appear and that you will be able to keep your bathroom as clean as possible. Make sure that you are using Clorox Bleach Gel Spray or a similar product regularly so that mold will not have the opportunity to grow in your bathroom.

For those hard to reach corners or crevices where mold is most likely to grow, use a Q-tip or an old toothbrush to work the gel into the area. After you leave the cleaner in place for a few minutes, the grout will come clean easily.

Another place that you need to actively keep clean is the door to your shower, especially the runners that are around the door of the shower. This is another fantastic location to use your gel cleaner and create a fresh and clean space.

Ventilation

The most important thing to remember when you are using a product that has a bleach base is that you need to keep the room well ventilated while you are cleaning. Bleach can be very harsh when you breathe it in and can cause breathing related issues if you are exposed to it for too long.

For best results, make sure that you open the doors and windows while you are cleaning with this product and leave the room while it sits on the surfaces of your bathroom. When you return, you will find an extremely easy to clean bathroom where all the mold and mildew has basically been removed for you.

Mold can easily find its way into a bathroom, but if you are actively cleaning your space, you will be able to keep it clean and fresh. This is the best way to prevent mold from appearing on your bathroom tile and the best way to keep your family safe and healthy.
