How to Clean Black Shower Mold Permanently:

If you end up only having to scrub with the cleaner recommended below, then this will only take 20-30 minutes tops, but if the situation is more serious it make take 2-3 hours from start to finish, but will be well worth the time and effort.

If you are not on a regular cleaning schedule with your shower or bath tub than you are very likely going to have some black mold that builds up and becomes very hard to clean. I have seen it in bathrooms all over the world. If this happens in your shower or bath tub it is good to get into a better cleaning schedule for mold and hard water so that things do not get out of hand.

Important Health Note: No matter what cleaning product you use, it is definitely a good idea to open up the windows, turn on the vent, and even consider wearing a mask or bandana so you are not breathing in the bleach and also the mold spores. Avoid breathing in mold or mold spores. You may want to wear a respirator available at hardware stores and on the internet.

Should I Use Bleach?

According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), bleach and other chemical biocides should not be used for regular mold clean up, and in fact will not even kill all the spores anyways. The best way is to manage the humidity and water damage to the area being affected. If you do use bleach, never mix it with any other cleaning solutions which can be very dangerous to breath in. The EPA recommends that you scrub mold off hard surfaces with detergent and water and then dry the surface completely.(3) We personally like undiluted white vinegar for the job, and baking soda to help with the scrubbing. Several home repair type website services recommend vinegar as one of the best products for this purpose.
