Why Do You Get Mold In Your Shower

That fungus in the shower is really normal. In the bathroom there is plenty of water and moisture that molds love.

Wet surfaces and puddles of water are also created by running water in the shower. It can easily lead to fungus growth if you don’t dry this moisture off quickly.

Beyond this it evaporates into the air and increases humidity as the waters of the bathroom dry out. The bathroom also gets moistened with steam from the shower or hot bath. Since the bathrooms also do not have sufficient ventilation, moisture sticks around and the drying of water surfaces takes long.

Where Does Mold Grow In The Shower?

  • In the grout, Mold can emerge. It’s one of its most popular places.
  • Unless the window is on your tub, it will expand within the window frame.
  • The drain and on the drain plug can be created.
  • On a shower paddle, the mould will expand.
  • If you have doors, it can grow in the door tracks.
  • Under shampoo bottles, soap bars, tubes of shaving cream, …
  • While not part of a shower technically, mould can grow on the curtain of a shower.
  • Mold may grow also behind shower and wall tiles but this is typically because of a leak behind the shower and not because of shower water.

Best Way To Clean Black Mold In The Shower

First you have to gather your supplies for black mold cleaning:

  • Bleach
  • Protective gloves
  • A protective mask
  • Spray bottle
  • A new bristle brush

Add a 1 part bleach solution to 2 parts water (it doesn’t have to be weighed exactly). Spray the damaged regions of the mold and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. The mold may have begun to fade away. Take a brush and wash as best as you can around the drain cover. You would need to use a small brush like an old toothbrush to really get into all the little places. Rinse off the filthy water / detergent and you got it shiny and clean!

Remember, one of the most popular spots for mold to develop is the drain hole / plug opening. When using bleach it is also important to follow certain important safety steps: Please ensure you have adequate ventilation and use a respirator while using bleach. Wear those safety gloves and always choose old clothing – it leaves places where the color is badly fading if you spray bleach on your clothing. When removing mold from the grout in your shower use a similar process. Take your bleach solution that we combined in the spray bottle earlier (1 part bleach to 2 parts water). Spray the solution of bleach onto the infected grout mold. When you have the opportunity, sprinkle the entire grout in the shower. Finally, take your lightweight brush and clean the mould from all the grout and organic lining then finish by mopping up the base of the shower.
