    Getting rid of mold is vital for your health. This is the easiest way I've found to get rid of mold in the bathroom shower area, especially in hard to reach areas where mold can easily grow and cause significant health risks. This isn't a permanent fix, it is a maintenance issue that requires you to do it over time to prevent further mold and mildew growth. But it's worth it for aesthetics and your health!

    Thank you! I knew what to do I just wanted a more efficient way to do it!
    I have tall ceilings and a tiny bathroom. Our fan is really old and is loud and doesn't work that well which is the reason for the mold growth. We got a new fan to install.
    I was not looking forward to wedging a ladder in my bathroom to clean with a scrub brush. I didn't even think about using anything else but a bristle brush.
    I am tight on money so I don't want to make a trip to the city to get a tool(I'll have to check under my sink for the spray, otherwise I can go down the road to Dollar General.), so I will put a microfiber towel on my swiffer!

    Worked like a charm. The scrub tool was 6 bucks for just the head. That's all I needed with a step stool. I had to buy kaboom with bleach for mold and mildew because tilex was not the kind shown.
    Also, i removed everything, but forgot floor mats. I did get a few drops on them unfortunately

Turns out the mold on that bathroom went away after these steps because I bought a dehumidifier. But I didn't notice the vent in our other bathroom wasn't working well so the other bathroom had some slight mold. Cleaned again, fixed the vent, all is good now. No one has chronic illnesses or asthma or any other issues due to mold thankfully

      I have used this method for several years before this video was made. I always would do a hot water wash first. Then do a treatment of the mold and mildew remover and let it set for like an hour and then either reapply and let it set fir an hour again, if I really felt it was needed. Finally, I would finish the process off by using a mix of 1 part white viegar to 3 parts HOT water. I usually need to do this about 2 to 3 times a year. Usually twice and even then it's noticeable, but not by much. Hope this helps you out.

      in that situation you probably have water/moisture coming into the house. You want to find the source and repair the roof or wherever the leak is. Then you can treat the existing mold.

    I hate to burst your bubble about anything with bleach in it to kill mold, but I saw a documentary on Katrina and the aftermath where the mold had grown about 5 ft up inside the house. And the man that was documenting this program on Katrina ask how do you get rid of that mold do you use bleach. And the man answered and said this program on Katrina asked how do you get rid of that mold do you use bleach. And the man answered and set, no bleach actually feeds the mold and it will continually come back. I don't know exactly what they used but it was not bleach because bleach feeds the mold and keeps it alive. But I have had a problem with mold in my bathroom and I take my Swiffer Sweeper and I took a regular washcloth on the Swiffer Sweeper and then I apply alcohol and the alcohol takes all the mold out completely. Alcohol kills the mold. It's the best thing I had because I had a real problem with mold in the bathroom but that's what does it. Also leave your bathroom door open after taking a shower and allow the room to lose the moisture and dry the bathroom out. It's the moisture in the air that feeds the mold
