Since they are always warm and moist, showers and bathtubs are the ideal breeding grounds for mold and other bacteria. It’s not just gross to see mold in these places; it’s also bad for your health if you can’t get rid of it. Today we will give you a simple yet effective solution to remove mold and mildew stains found directly on the caulking of your shower or bathtub.
Jessica from This Blessed Life said she learned the best way to clean bathroom caulking is with bleach and cotton beauty coils (little cotton bits used for perms). All she did was cut off a piece of cotton coil, dip it in bleach, and leave it overnight on top of the mold. She said she used a Q-tip to push the cotton coil down on the caulking so the bleach wouldn’t touch her finger.
She also noted that she ran the bathroom fan the whole night for airflow, but if you have a bathroom window, it wouldn’t hurt to leave that open, too. The next morning, she removed the cotton coils and rinsed the caulking and edge of the tub. As you can see, this method absolutely got rid of the mold, and Jessica said it hasn’t returned. This cheap and easy method seems like it’s definitely worth a shot if you have mold or mildew stains on the caulking of your shower or bathtub.
