Cancel the Mold Show In Your Bathroom

As we all know, cleaning is a never ending job.  I try to stick to a schedule so it doesn't get overwhelming.  Certain days are dedicated to cleaning certain rooms.  I have found the day I dread the most is the day to clean the bathrooms.

In my opinion, cleaning the bathroom is the messiest and hardest job to do.  I have 2 full baths and 1 half bath.  They are all used often.  The half bath is always cleaned first so I can tackle the 2 full baths at the same time.  The showers and tubs are always the hardest to clean.  I sometimes have to deal with mold in the showers if I don't take measures to prevent it.  By living in North Carolina, the summer is the worst time for me to have mold.  It can get so hot and humid during the summer and that seems to raise your chance having mold problems.

Things I Do to Prevent Mold:

1) After taking a shower, squeegee the the walls and remove all the water. 

2) Towel dry the bottom of the shower to remove all the water.

3) Leave the shower door/shower curtain open to help circulate the air.

4) Turn the ventilation fan on after taking a shower to help circulate the air. 

5) I keep a spray bottle of 1 part bleach mixed with 2 parts water in my shower.  I spray the areas in the shower where mold tends to appear at least twice a week.

6) Dry the shower curtain after each shower. After the shower is dry, pull the curtain to prevent the curtain molding.

7) Make sure there is no water leaks in your bathroom.  The continued wetness and dampness is an excellent area for mold.

The ugly truth is 100% of homes have mold. And while most cleaners can remove visible dirt, the deep-cleaning Tilex® lineup is formulated to attack mold and mildew and cancel the mold show in your bathroom.
