3. Erase mold from bathroom walls
Mold can easily grow on walls that are kept damp for long periods of time. The ceiling is a prime place for bathroom mold growth. You may not want to use bleach to remove mold from painted walls because it could discolor the paint. Begin with a gentler solution first. Mix together 2 tablespoons borax, 1/4 cup of white vinegar and 2 cups hot water in a spray bottle. Shake until the borax is well dissolved. Spray onto the mold, let rest for a minute and wipe clean. Repeat every few days until mold no longer appears.
4. Use a toothbrush to get in tight spaces
To effectively remove mold, you need to remove all the surface dirt and grime first. The best way to get everything from all the tiny spaces in your tile and tub area is to use an old toothbrush. It saves you a lot of scrubbing time. Use it with the cleaner of your choice.
5. Create a natural cleaner to reduce mold
This is a great way to use lemons after they’ve been squeezed. This natural cleaning spray not only cleans, disinfects and sanitizes, but it also leaves your bathroom smelling fresh. Simply collect your lemon pieces in a glass jar, fill with vinegar and allow to age for two weeks. Strain and pour into a spray bottle. You now have the perfect cleaner for quickly cleaning away the soap scum, oils and grime that feed mold and mildew growth.
6. Wash your shower curtain
Mildew and mold spots can appear on all surfaces that are left damp, including your plastic shower curtain. Don’t waste time and money by throwing it away and buying a new one. Instead, throw it in your washing machine with a few towels and a cup of white vinegar. Run it on a gently cycle with hot water, then hang to dry.
