Removing Mildew From Showers
Removing
mildew stains from your shower or bath is a rather easy process.
Step 1.
Clean the shower and scrub the grout lines to remove as much of the mildew
as possible. Thoroughly rinse your shower or bath to remove all of the
cleaner.
Step 2.
Mix up a solution of bleach water. Use 1 part bleach to 3 or 4 parts
water. Put the mixture in a spray bottle and spray the mildew stains. You
should see the mildew slowly disappear. The process can take several hours
to work.
Use caution when working with bleach as the fumes can be dangerous. Be
careful not to spill the bleach on carpet or other textiles as it could
remove color.
Step 3.
Thoroughly rinse the shower or bath to remove all traces of bleach.
Mildew Prevention
To prevent
mildew, keep areas as dry and clean as possible. Mildew needs food and
moisture to grow. Clean showers often to remove soap and other sources of
food. Leave shower curtains open and bathroom doors open to allow airflow
into the room. You want showers and baths to dry as soon as possible. |
