Bathrooms are mini-sanctuaries where we refresh ourselves and often even unwind after a long day, but as this is the room that contains the most moisture, it can also be a breeding ground for unsightly and potentially dangerous black mould…
Condensation from that relaxing hot shower or luxurious bubble bath often doesn’t completely dry out, especially in the hot & humid South African summer climate! This creates the perfect condition for mould to spore and thrive. Even with sufficient ventilation and general daily cleaning, black mould can take root and settle in the many nooks and crannies in the shower, around taps, behind the toilet etc.
Once this fungus has etched its way between your tile grouting or on the silicone around your basin and bathtub, it can be incredibly difficult to remove…
However, there is an effective solution to these dark, unsightly black spots and the best news is, you probably have what you need at home already!
How To Banish Black Mould
The solution to those dark spots? Vinegar and cottonwool! Yes, you read that right – no magic potion mixture or expensive chemical solution, just 2 common household supplies can help you banish that black mould from the nooks and crannies in your bathroom!
Here’s the simple method on how to do this:
1. Get your supplies
You will need regular white vinegar – any cheap brand will do – and enough cotton wool, whether swabs, balls or the old-fashioned rolls; to treat all the spots you want to eliminate in your bathroom
2. Apply the treatment
Thoroughly soak your cottonwool in white vinegar and place these firmly on all the areas in your bathroom with unsightly dark spots from ingrained black mould
3. Wait it out
Leave the vinegar-soaked cottonwool on overnight to allow the vinegar sufficient time to get to work – no scrubbing required!
4. Remove & enjoy!
In the morning, remove the cottonwool and wipe the surfaces. Black mould spots will be a thing of the past leaving your bathroom looking brilliantly bright once again!
Though this treatment is simple and highly effective, black mould will make an appearance again and again in your moisture-rich bathroom, so to help prevent an ongoing battle, always ensure your bathroom is well-ventilated after every use and spray all high-risk areas with vinegar weekly which will help prevent regrowth.
