Introduction: Black moles or mildew spots on bath silicone can not only ruin the aesthetic of your bathroom but also lead to health issues if not properly cleaned. If you're dealing with unsightly black mold or mildew on your silicone sealant, don't worry! This guide will walk you through a fast and effective way to remove those stubborn marks in just 10 minutes. With some simple household ingredients, you can restore the cleanliness and look of your bathroom surfaces quickly.
Ingredients:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Water
Hydrogen peroxide (optional)
A small bowl
Scrub brush or sponge
Paper towels or a clean cloth
Instructions:
Prepare the Cleaning Solution: In a small bowl, mix equal parts of baking soda and white vinegar (around 1 tablespoon of each). If the mold is particularly stubborn, you can add a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide for extra cleaning power.
Apply the Mixture: Using your hands or a small brush, apply the paste directly onto the black mold or mildew spots on the silicone. Make sure to cover the affected areas thoroughly.
Let It Sit: Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes. This gives the ingredients time to penetrate the mold and mildew, loosening them from the surface of the silicone.
Scrub Away the Mold: After 5 minutes, use a scrub brush or a damp sponge to scrub the silicone gently. Focus on the black spots, and scrub in a circular motion to loosen any remaining mold or mildew.
Rinse and Dry: Rinse the silicone thoroughly with warm water to remove any residue. Pat the area dry with a clean cloth or paper towels.
Serving and Storage Tips: Once your silicone is clean and dry, it’s important to keep the area well-ventilated to prevent mold growth. Always ensure that your bathroom is dry and clean after use. If you frequently deal with mold, consider using a mold-resistant silicone sealant for longer-lasting protection.
