Introduction: Bathrooms are prone to moisture, which creates the perfect environment for dirt and mold to build up in the joints and seals of your shower, sink, and bathtub. If you’ve been struggling with stubborn stains or unpleasant odors, this guide is here to help. In just 15 minutes, you can restore the clean and fresh look of your bathroom surfaces with a simple, homemade remedy. Say goodbye to mold, mildew, and grime with this easy-to-follow recipe that requires minimal ingredients but delivers impressive results.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup of baking soda
1/4 cup of white vinegar
1 tablespoon of dish soap
1 cup of water
10-15 drops of tea tree oil (optional, for extra mold-fighting power)
An old toothbrush or small scrubbing brush
A spray bottle
Instructions:
Prepare the Cleaning Solution: In a small bowl, mix together the baking soda and dish soap. Slowly add in the white vinegar and water, stirring to combine until a thick paste forms.
Add Essential Oils: If you're using tea tree oil for added anti-mold properties, add it to the mixture and stir.
Apply the Paste: Using the old toothbrush or a small scrubbing brush, apply the paste directly onto the bathroom joints and seals that need cleaning. Focus on the areas with visible mold or dirt buildup.
Let it Sit: Allow the paste to sit on the surfaces for about 10-15 minutes to break down the dirt and mold.
Scrub Away: After the paste has had time to work its magic, scrub the joints and seals using the toothbrush. Apply a little pressure to remove any stubborn spots.
Rinse and Wipe Clean: Once you've scrubbed the area, rinse with warm water and wipe down the surfaces with a clean cloth to remove any remaining paste.
Serving and Storage Tips:
This recipe makes enough for a single bathroom session, but you can store leftover cleaning solution in an airtight container for later use.
Always test the cleaning paste on a small, hidden area first to ensure it doesn’t damage any surfaces.
For deep mold infestations, repeat the process every couple of weeks.
