The shower is supposed to be a place to relax, but having mould there could completely ruin the atmosphere. The right product is instrumental in permanently removing mould, as some types of mold hide deep in porous surfaces and can be really difficult to get rid of. Below are some tricks to get rid of mold in the shower once and for all. 

Don’t Use Bleach on Porous Surfaces

Many believe that bleach kills mold and is the best thing to use. This is not always the case. Bleach does not kill mold on porous surfaces and can actually help mould grow. Sometimes bleach is only killing surface mold and since it is mostly water, after the chlorine evaporates, water is left behind, which can allow mold to flourish. So it’s better to look for a cleaner aimed specifically at removing mold. 

Use a Fan 

Ventilation is important. In case you don’t have a fan, open a window when you shower and leave your bathroom door open. If you have a bathroom without a window, you need to install a fan. It’s important for a bathroom to have an exhaust fan to remove excess moisture.  

Try a Homemade Cleaner

If you want to tackle mold in the shower with a safer cleaner, combine equal parts white vinegar and dish soap in a spray bottle.Use the mixture to coat the shower walls and let the solution sit for 20 minutes. Wet the shower walls and then scrub them. You’ll be amazed at how easy this cleaner makes it to remove mould. If you want, you can also wet the walls and then sprinkle baking soda on the walls before scrubbing to add an additional layer of natural cleaner. 

Install a Humidity Monitor

 You may want to install a humidity monitor if mold has been a recurring problem in your bathroom. This will alert you to high levels of humidity so that you can take care of that problem before it turns into a nasty mould problem.

Keep the Shower Clean

Work to keep your shower clean. You can purchase sprays that you cover the walls with after you shower. These however, don’t mean you can skip on deep cleaning your bathroom. They are for in between deep cleanings. Daily shower cleaners kill germs and eliminate odors in addition to preventing mould and mildew.
