Tips for effective mold and stain removal

  • Use a mixture of white vinegar and water in a 1:1 ratio to clean moldy surfaces, especially in hard-to-reach areas like shower corners.
  • For silicone joints, apply a commercial anti-mold spray like Vanish or Cif, and let it sit for 10 minutes before wiping clean.
  • Always wear gloves and ensure good ventilation when cleaning mold to avoid inhaling spores.
  • Regularly clean bathroom surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water to prevent mold from forming in the first place.
  • Use a squeegee after showering to remove excess water and reduce humidity, which is a key factor in mold growth.
